I just have a little time to come on before feeding.
Glad your doing better eeeny. Ive ordered a natal hypnotherapy cd to help with recovery and to help relax a bit, may be that would be good for you to? its on the natalhypnotherapy website.
Hope everyone else is ok ???, much quieter over here than ante natal hey with all the feeding or sleeping.
Even though this is my 2nd I still feel Im learning again and trying to get in touch with how to do things. Every day is different and crazy and Im in this haze of feeds for dd2, showers for me , sleep for me , time for dd1 , visitors every day , eating like a pig and drinking like a fish (wishing it could be champers) and then more feeding.
soz just realised that were all in the same boat and here I am carrying on about me , like Im the only one and Im not even sure anyones going to have time to read all this !!!!!!. I just need to get it out as Im a bit overwhelemd by it all and thought I would feel better as I had such good birth experience, but I feel quite rough. Please let it be just be exaustion and anemia only.
My FIL was over today whos a retired GP , he took one look at me and said your aneamic & reckons my HB is down to 10, everyones said Im very very pale , but we thought it was just due to recovery, but Ive been getting the shakes and feeling my heart beat pronounced again. Problem is that midiwvs dont do HB tests at home, so Im not sure how Im gonna get my bloods done , as the only other way is to go to blood bank , but theres no effin way Im doing that in my condition , as u have to queue from 8am in the morning.
To top it all , its my birthday tomoz and the midwife coming to see me tommorow was a major problem 3yrs ago, she really mucked up dd1's weight and didnt even notice any signs of weird behaviour from me (PND/PTSD onset), so Im anxious right now, but theres no one else that can come. I suppose the universe has a reason why Ive got to face it, but its not a pleasant feeling.
Feedings going well and sooo soo different to dd1 , which never felt right, but dd2 keeps falling asleep mid feed, so its taking a little while to get her fed well.
anywhooooo its nearly 9 and another feed is due (trying to get them between 2-3 hrs max). I need to stuff some more food in me too.
Ohh another query , as have anemia possibly , I need to eat lots of vit c to not get bunged up (nasty with sutres), but thats possible going to upset babas tummy , any ideas, tons of broccoli????
