October 2013 Bus Graduates: the one where we're not pregnant anymore

[MrsHoratioNelson]

Check in here. Do we still need the stats?

Just saw your post rox, maybe I'll have to go to bed earlier to get some more sleep before she wakes up.

Good luck with the dentist x

Hello folks! Been a while. Exhausted.

Oh oh baby crying

Lochia tailing off at three weeks and a day here clapham.

To all those ladies dealing with mastitis.

Lochia still daily here although it's brown colour now, 5 weeks post c section tomorrow. I'm another who naively thought bleeding wouldn't be as bad after a c section.

Went to a christening yesterday, dressed A up in a lovely little pink dress , white tights and little pink ballet type material shoes and we had a major poo explosion mid christening. Dp took her to the car to change her and we ended up with shitty nappy and dirty huggies wipes all over the car she lost a shoe and tights were covered in poo so she ended up wearing just her dress and looked suitably under dressed!

Oh no flyer, I had to laugh though having had a poomageddon here this morning.

Can I share my frustration? G has refused to settle anywhere other than my arms all morning. Set her down just now as we're going out and I need to brush my hair and teeth before changing and feeding her and she's fast asleep! The one time all day where I'll need to wake her up, bah.......

roxvox and chickie thank you for the co-sleeping advice. Think I will invest in a sleeping bag.

Imp thank you for offering to add me to the FB group, I have PM'd you.

Excited hope your DD is doing better this morning, agree that if you are worried you should take her to the doctor. With any luck will turn out that curry was the only problem

Seeing a lactation consultant later today. Looking forward to getting some practical support - never been confident we have latch quite right. In hospital the advice literally consisted of a midwife telling S to "suck it". Not joking.

However slightly worried that S is going to want to sleep through the appointment which will make life slightly more difficult...

Sorry flyer that made me smile.

My niece had a poo explosion at her mum & dads wedding (during the ceremony) and is wearing my DD pyjamas in the wedding photos as nobody packed her spare clothes. She was 18months old at the time so was very messy. In her defence though they were very pretty pyjamas

I was at the dentist this morning also - for anyone BF and having bleeding gums, don't worry! Dentist said this is due to hormones...

Lol at poomageddon!

We had another poosplosion last night resulting in me screaming as LO covered me in shit! Each fart sprayed it more and DH was killing himself laughing :(

Jelly at niece wearing your pyjamas lol

FFS living with DS at the moment is like living with a caged Tasmanian devil. He's regressed about 12 months but with extra strength and attitude! We just had lunch, first he was banging his cutlery into the table and leaving dents so I took it away. Then randomly screaming arrrrrggghhh and shrieking. Then picking up his plate (with food on) and banging it back onto the table. Then throwing his food.
What have I done to deserve this? It's just constant battle and trying to piss me off. We've just got back from swimming, he should be tired :(

Between us toddler sufferers everyone on this thread is going to be dreading 2 years 10 months :o

Oh no flyer that's typical isn't it!

Thanks all for your comments re dd, she slept loads last night although was on me the whole night and still today won't be put down in basket. Temp much more normal though and no sick so far (touch wood). Think I'll see how she is rest of today and if gets hot again or is sick ill book her in with GPs.

Those of you with toddlers I don't know how you do it! You're all super mums!

LOL flyer at the christening poonami! she is such a lady

pseudo sounds like attention seeking efforts to me... must be so hard... is he OK with the baby? jealous? I remember this age with my DS1 - he was a nightmare from 18 months to 3 years and then calmed down. Boys can be exhausting at this age.

chickie sorry about your tough night are you feeling better today and did you manage to get some rest?

My calm chilled baby has changed into a needy, crying baby the last two days. No idea if it's colic or some growing pains... I can't put him down for a minute and BF is the only way I can calm him down. So my nipples are killing me... he won't sleep in his moses basket so I'm BFing him in our bed now hoping he will fall asleep and stay asleep here. I would love to have a shower and brush my teeth at some point today. All I'm asking for...

pseudo right there with u on the toddler front dd tutntb3 this month so not far off your ds age and yesterday she pushed me to the limit I lmfeakky screamed at her then when dh mDe her apologise I told her off again. Altho it does seem too have improved her behaviour since so maybe she knew she was pushing me all along. ATM she is constantly jumping on furniture telling me no and generally being an argumentative little cow Madame I don't no how I'm gunna get through the day sometimes!!

On a good note we've found a 3 bedroom house to rent which means ds and dd won't need too share when he goes in his own room and we won't be moving till late jan early feb so haven't got to panic about getting settled so close too Xmas all of this is subject too passing referencing of course

excited sorry missed your earlier post. hope your LO is better today.

rox hope your mastitis clears soon. poor you - the second time you get it...

ana a glass of wine lasts you for hours?? HOW??

That's good news about the house natalie
Sorry to hear of mastitis rox it's so awful. I had it three times with ds1 and after the 3rd time decided that was it and stopped bf as I just couldn't deal with getting it again. Think I was prone to it, had a massive milk supply so maybe he wasn't taking enough. Hugs anyway.
First day totally alone here. I have brushed my teeth but not showered- yuk! We made it to toddler group but not to weigh little b, I'm not worried about his weight but wanted to have him weighed as it's his one month birthday today.
If anyone is interested Jojo maman have 15% off until tomorrow. I've just ordered some 3.5 tog sleeping bags seeing as we are supposed to be in for the coldest winter for decades.
Also, does anyone else have a baby that just won't sleep anywhere other than on them?! I think little b has spent one night in his Moses basket and that is it. I thought ds1 was a Velcro baby but this guy is taking it to another level!

Also anyone who is ff I have bought a tommee tippee perfect prep machine which makes up your bottles to the perfect temp in about a minute so no faffing boiling the kettle or reheating them from the fridge. It's amazing and I love it!

Hello all, not much to report so I have been following but not posting. C is 5 weeks today.

Bf still quite painful and I can't clear this blocked duct - although, since it has been around for 3 weeks and hasn't turned into mastitis as expected, I'm not sure whether it is a blocked duct or not.

Hello! I think this is the first time I have managed to post on the post-natal thread, though I'm not sure as I've thought about what I would post so many times, so sorry if I'm repeating myself!

Sorry to those who have mastitis - it's horrible. Hope you feel better soon. Baby C didn't seem to be bother by any altered taste of the breast milk.

C is a bit spotty as well and has been for 3 or 4 weeks. I'm hoping it will clear up soon. I know it's daft, but I don't want him to be all spotty for his christening. :( Tirns out DH had been using fabric softener in his washing, which probably hasn't helped, but don't feel like I can complain because he's been doing all the washing.

Feeling fat and very jealous of everyone whose back to prepregnancy weight. Eating too much chocolate, but finding it hard not too...

Terrible twos...
Troublesome threes....
Feckin awful fours...

I think you get the idea

Hi moon blues, Thomas has spotty cheeks too and his hair is receding. Very silly as doesn't bother him at all but I want people to think he looks gorgeous when they meet him. (he still absolutely does to me).

I hope it doesn't get too cold to go out. My grandmother was telling me yesterday at my uncles birthday party about hand washing terry nappies and trying to defrost them after they had frozen on the line in the winter of 1963. So glad I have pampers!

Meant to have some nct people round today but they cancelled :( at least I have a slightly tidier house now! Wouldn't have bothered otherwise.

I have the same kind of baby here
shooting... and have resigned myself to co-sleeping... otherwise I just get stressed, exhausted and noone wins.

moon I still have exactly 1 stone to lose to go back to my pre-pregnancy weight... very depressing... so I'm going to give myself a few more weeks to try my usual clothes.

today is my first day completely on my own - no DP and no MIL. I l Iove it although can't really accomplish much beyond feeding, burping and changing the LO

Glad your first solo day is going ok Clapham.

Just heard from my brother that my paternal grandmother died. We lost touch a few years after my dad left, about 20 years ago, so am surprised that I am upset. I am definitely more emotional and think more about family since becoming a mummy.

Glad not just me clapham we are cosleeping too as I can't deal with the no sleep either!

Imp, thanks for the offer to add people to FB. I have PM you.

I am also struggling with a baby that doesn't want to be put down. I don't know how people with more than one do it!
