When I have my 6 month check I'll get the pill sorted, and then we'll see. I know what y'all mean about being nervous and teenager-y about it- I certainly am. I don't have any big physical worries (although who was it on here who'd had the c-section too and still found it weird down there?) but it's just been so long 
...
Don't think we had any action post first trimester, so will have to remind myself how the hell to do it!
Not too bad a night's sleep, but sleeping with LO is like sleeping with a tazmanian devil crossed with a farting warthog. Who spends all night vogue-ing. Badly (albeit very enthusiastically).
lmf, are you doing OK? Does your OH still have all bits attached...? Good news about LO being in newborn clothes though, hurrah! And has your DP learnt how to both settle the baby and not piss you off figgy?
It's odd, isn't it, the way that even though your rational self knows that you're doing OK, that your baby is fine and your parenting is producing a happy baby/child, it doesn't stop the mentalling. The scary thing is that it's almost impossible to tell when it slips from 'normal' parent worrying into something more sinister...it's why talking about it, whether here or IRL is so vital.
Wow leaky, an abcess?! Jeez, thought my mastitis was bad, poor you. And a forceps delivery...but it sounds like in the scheme of things it wasn't too bad? Know what you mean about the bf, my DS would stay attached and nomming at my nipple all day if he could....
That's interesting msb, when I went to bf class, they told me that although alcohol does go into breast milk, you would need to be four times over the limit before it had any real effect on baby. I guess it's what's defined as 'an effect on baby'... Mind you, as I doubt any of us will be having any more than a glass or two (chance would be a fine thing) it's a bit of a moot point... The thread about being 'properly grown up' has made me feel ancient...
Right, rambly catch up completed. Now going off for a huge BLT in front of the footie
