Hi all, I'm new to this site but thought it might be a good place to start and chat to others. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post thread though. I gave birth October 29th to ds, 3 weeks early. He weighed 6lbs 3oz so would have been a good weight if gone to term. Also have ds age 8 and dd age 3. I'm feeling the need for some 'sister' support as I'm currently v hormonal with mushy brain. I feel a bit deserted at the mo and have felt under pressure with the in-laws with us since the birth. They left today and dh goes back to work tomorrow and I feel I've been cheated out of time with dh running around after them and not me. Sorry if this sounds like a 2yr old having tantrum but I kinda feel like that at the mo. Feel a bit scared about going back to routine tomorrow and trying to fit in breast feeding etc etc. Any advice or words of support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thank you for a warm welcome, would like to get to grips with this site more tonight but for now eldest ds has decided it's time to read so am typing while listening to him read Volcanoes and Earthquakes. I can't multi-task anymore and keep typing the words I'm hearing him say!!
Probably back tomorrow
