December 2012: 8 hour sleeps and chubby chops all round

[WillYouDoTheBunnyHop]

New thread for us ladies

Oh WillYou think you could do with some ibuprofen too!

Just waiting for it to kick in now. When they were this bad in labour the codeined me!

My bfp was 2nd, I was on night shifts and had the most horrendous 'period pains' the night before and a desire to eat a lot of eggs (hence the stupid name!).

F is still at ILs so waiting for the tumble drier to finish to get the ironing done. I loving this hangover, no headache, no sick, just an immense desire to drink lilt.

It's bloody snowing here again, grrr.

I ate dairy products Eggs, 4-5 portions a day I couldn't stop even before my BFP. At exactly 6 weeks (later adjusted to 5 after scan) I got morning sickness and couldn't touch anything dairy. I think I was stockpiling calcium. Clever body!

I have approximately 42 loads of washing to do and I cannot even be arsed to move.

willyou my first post-baby period was horrendous. Worse than early labour and was heavier than they used to be too. The second one was slightly better

I've bled continually since starting mini pill 9w ago, 5d after lochia stopped. This is 2nd heavy period in that time and it's horrific, off to docs next week I've never bled on mini pill before.

I thought my period has come back as I had a week of light bleeding but that was five weeks ago and nothing since

I found the mini pill made me bleed then went back on the combined pill if been on since I was 16 with no problems and have had a hideous time on it so have given up on contraception decided just to leave it as we're planning another one soon and if it happened a bit quicker it would be fab ok. I was told having a baby just messes with helpers so something you were fine with before might cause problems now :(

Ahh, the moment after you accidentally get LO with a fingernail and hold your breath while waiting to see if he noticed enough to start screeching...

Honey I was told the combined pill doesn't mix well with bf

Willyou I went off eggs when morning sickness set in as well, and still not keen on them now (never been a big egg fan)

Not had a period yet, just spotting. The coil appears o suit me.

It reduces milk supply spotty but I'd always had good supply so thought I'd risk it- that wasn't the problem it just gave me a lot of bleeding and really heavy periods

Oh I think I remember you saying

I don't like eggs at all bleurgh.

I bled for six months straight on the coil then had regular periods

No idea when our BFP was, and it was a bit of a happy surprise as we've had fertility issues and were undecided about 3rd dc so were just leaving it to chance for a bit and with 2 dds, jobs etc weren't having lots if action in the boudoir anyway DH was lovely though when I showed him the stick - he was speechless in a funny happy way.

Just got back from the walk in clinic - dd2 has hand, foot and mouth disease :-(. It's not as bad as it sounds but she has loads of blisters and its contagious - hoping little T doesn't get it but bet she does. Poor dd2 always gets everything really badly when dd1 usually gets off lightly. Reversal if the whole bf immunity thing as dd1 wasn't and dd2 was!

WL if you keep really close to dd1 and lick her lots then your body should start making antibodies and pass them on through your milk

Still no period here - didn't get one until 14 months last time, which suited me fine. Even though I'd had a nightmare with them in my teens/early twenties (the only time they were bearable was when I was on the pill) I had no problems at all post-pg so maybe the hormones worked in the opposite direction for me. Hope you're feeling better soon Willyou - period pain is vile [busad]

More classic from my sister telling me I shouldn't tell dd she's a good girl or clever etc because its generic praise (?!) and I should actually sit down and give her a ten hour lecture on why what she's done is so good

I think saying 'oh dd you're being such a good girl sitting there eating your lunch nicely' is quite enough and won't damage her for life, surely?!

Oh poor DD2 WL that sounds horrid. Just in time for the Easter hols too [busad]

I've just had a bath with DS and he's crashed out so I've dumped him in his bed and am having a spot of lunch. Might even run the hoover round downstairs [bushock]

Oh DD getting a nutritionally balanced diet is very important for growth and development. This means that your achievements at the dinner table this morning are especially important. This has resulted in you receiving a fucking huge piece of Easter egg for afters [bugrin]. Would that work for her Spotty? Does she have kids?

Yes just the one child genius same age as dd... She's just obsessed with parenting and it winds me up!

Tell her something like too much attention on minor aspects/details of behaviour leaves children nervous wrecks and unable to complete basic tasks independently (disclaimer - I have entirely made this up for the purposes of being mean!)

Hope DD2 gets better soon and that the rest of you manage to avoid it WL.

My BFP was 22nd of March last year, still no sign of my periods returning yet. And i still have to get the coil sorted.

Haha spotty i like WL's idea.

Ds won't stop bloody crying and now my muffins are burnt. All twelve will have to go in the bin and of course dp has fucked off to football because it's important he gets to have fun but the rest of us don't matter

I feel you Spotty, DP's gone too. Also why does 1 football match require being out for 5 hours?

It's ridiculous! Dp said 'I'll come straight home though because it's away'. He left at 12:40 and, like you say, won't be back for five hours at least. I've text him saying I can't be bothered to make dinner tonight (hoping he gets the hint and gets a takeaway). He's got a game on Monday too

I've already told DP we're going to the Chinese chippy. He left at 12pm and will be back between 5 and 6. They don't kick off until 2:30pm but anyone not in the pub for "team talk" at 12:30pm doesn't get to play. And there's a game on Wednesday for him. Are you a parallel me at the other end of the country Spotty?

I hate it, especially as I've had to give up my Zumba for the last few weeks as DS is so grizzly at night because of his teeth. I'd hate to make my mum and dad put him down when he's like that.
