Thanks orange, yeah they aren't pleasant at all are they! I dread going to the loo. I've gone for high fibre too, and am trying to drink loads of fluids. Apparently they are quite common in breastfeeding women due to your body using up fluids to make milk and therefore leaving you with less fluid and harder stools made of razor blades. I swear though that I am drinking so much water, and have upped my fibre intake, but it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference. I feel like I need an epidural painkillers for every bowel movement (haven't take any as of yet though)t. Anyway, I digress. I think I might just have to start eating lots and lots of fruit.
As for A being more efficient orange, I would love to think that was the case, if she wasn't coming off the breast crying and then rooting for more right away. She seems to feed well in the early hours, so I wonder if she is finding the sounds and light all a bit too distracting during the day. Seems an odd thing to suddenly develop though considering she's been good up until this week. She's also started to latch poorly occasionally. It doesn't hurt me, and she's definitely getting milk, but she refuses to open her mouth very wide so ends up slurping on my nipple. Again, this seems to be better at night so perhaps it is a senses overload thing. I will try some new tactics tomorrow.
Jelly I can't help, but I have always had a fear of exactly what you're going through after a few public accidents in my teens in which I wet myself (right at the age when the most important thing in the world to you is to be attractive to the popular boy in school). So I hope you get it sorted soon. Setting an alarm to remind you to go is an excellent idea!
Flyer I hope things are better for you this evening x
