walnuts... ah, no . I don't think I ever could . I've never heard of such a gadget except the pleasurable kind!! I forget about the pelvic exercises too but feel ok unless I really need to go to the toilet.

Feeling wrecked after an awful night... nothing would settle the little one. MissE was even up with me . Consequently, she was late for school - tears because we didn't have time to straighten her hair. I've phoned her school because she is afraid she will have a detention!!! Bless. Kate has gone to nursery today... I'm not sure whether to waste it sleeping or start something productive (cup of tea and mn??? )

no walnut cracking here but haven't felt too bad down below... if i were you i'd really try to do pelvic floors just once a day - then it doesn't seem too daunting to have to remember - got to be better than nothing...

... vaginal prolapse sounds bloody terrifying

I've just discovered this thread! May I join in? DD has just turned 10 months old

She's not been eating a great deal, but surprised me when she ate quite a lot of my tomato pasta bake for dinner last night

kittywise · 11/01/2008 10:26

Welcome geekymummy!

Muppet, I'm doing the squeezes almost constantly. I have had a horrible cough for about a month now and I think that's the culprit, it felt ok until then.

bethoo · 11/01/2008 10:55

Welcome Geekymummy, are you new to mumsnet or just never noticed this thread before?

Piffle - sorry to hear that, it is always a shock when you first find out when you were not planning on it then just as you get used to the idea this happens. my sympathies. lots of hugs. x

Diva- i know what you mean, xdp says he finds it hard ot be friends what with all his 'feelings'. sadly wish he had thought about mine when he f*** me over during my pregnancy!!! anyway he came over yesterday and ended up staying, i am weak and i told him it did not mean we were back together! yes i didthe deed! damm why is he such a good lover!!! [weak and easily tempted emicon]. anyway i daid sods law i could get preggers now and he was saying that would be a good thing. not in my eyes when i have arranged to meet some fb blokes next month and could not have another baby right now in my tiny house and two big dogs too. i was hoping ot try when they had passed (bles them) and hopefully got a bigger house curtesy of council (i wish!!). please do not reprimand me, i am stupid i know. do not know what i was thinking. will have to tell him we need a break. the only reason i let him come over is to spend time with his son. i am a twat!

bethoo · 11/01/2008 10:56

midwoife told me that her aunt who had many children, one day her bladder fell out as she was so loose there! i think she was tryign ot tell me something as i never did my kelgel squeezes or whatever they are called! scarey stuff!

Rosylily · 11/01/2008 11:21

Hi Geekymummy! You are not the only geek on this thread Are you breast feeding then? Do you have other children or is this your first?

Bethoo, stop beating yourself up! At least you are trying to be honest with your (x)p and you are not going to take any rubbish because you know there are other fish in the sea. Relationships are never black and white. I am laughing because you are trying to chuck him but he is too good at seducing you It is far from the end of the world!

geekymummy · 11/01/2008 11:56

Thanks for the welcome!

Bethoo - been on MN for about 6 months, just noticed this thread today

Rosylily - I'm always glad to see fellow geeks yep I'm breast feeding DD, she's my PFB

Rosylily · 11/01/2008 12:00

my 10 month is pfb too - precious fourth born

geekymummy · 11/01/2008 12:04

LOL!

bethoo · 11/01/2008 12:18

geeky - do you think you will try for any more kiddies? tell us about you and your little one?

geekymummy · 11/01/2008 14:32

DH and I were talking about this the other day... we'd like to try for another child next year, we'll see what happens

I've just returned to work part time, I'm 31 and DD is pulling herself up to stand, cruising along the furniture and babbling away - I can't believe how quickly she's growing! She was 8 lbs 6 oz when she was born (have no idea how much she weighs now!) after a loong labour.

Right now she has a cold, a bit of a cough and a runny nose, a little bit grumpy at the moment, when she's not trying to destroy whatever's in her path!

kittywise · 11/01/2008 14:39

God I feel shit about my saggy fanny .

I made the very very bad mistake of attempting to talk to dp about it .

Betho, I wouldn't feel bad if I were you.

Sex is sex, I wouldn't turn it down . If you can keep him at arms' length (apart from during sex [grin} then it should be ok.
Has he paid you back your money yet?

Divastrop · 11/01/2008 17:06

welcome geekymummy
what type of geek are you(ie gaming geek,dr who geek,computer geek,band geek etc)?
Elsie is my pfb as well-precious fith born.

piffle-more (((((hugs)))))

kitty-i often feel like stuff is going to fall out just before my af is due.put it this way TMI ALERT,when i check my coil threads i only need to insert my finger about an inch .i have been doing exercises for years,and i no longer pee myself like i used to post-dd1.in fact,i think its a bit tighter now after 5 than it was after the first 2.if i get too carried away though its like chucking a cumberland sausage down the M6 on a rainy afternoon.

what did your dp say?remember,we are never too baggy.they are too small!

dh and i almost had an argument last night for the first time since july.he was so pleased!he says ive been like a zombie on those tablets and he would rather i moan,shout,and be paranoid than be emotionless.he was really sweet

fitfox · 11/01/2008 17:40

Diva LOL at "he must be too small" !!!

Luckily I don't eat Cumberland Sausage !!

Kitty what did your DP say then? I have to cross my legs when I cough!! I could never discuss it with DH

I just cannot remember to do those excercises - does anyone on here do them?

Geeky - Hi there and welcome. I have 'lil Monti, 10 months. Am still BFding him and he is my PFB - Precious Fird Born

fitfox · 11/01/2008 17:42

Bethoo I like the idea of you letting DP in for a shag then telling him "that doesn't mean we are back together" LOL

A bit like a slap in the face with a wet sausage fish

kittywise · 11/01/2008 17:48

well I am walking round with a permanent "squeeze" in case it all falls out paranoid and panic stricken or what.

Dp was very clearly uncomfortable about discussing it. Yesterday I tried to explain what a pelvic floor was and he said he didn't wan to know . Git, I've had his 6 kids and now my body's suffering and he feels too squeamish basically.

So glad I'm not having sex now. I bet it would be like dipping it in blamange ( puke)

fitfox · 11/01/2008 17:58

Kitty why don't you pop down to your GP next week and get him/her to have a poke around look at you? It will either put your mind at rest, or, if there is something wrong, you can get it sorted.

I'd like one of those operations that give you a tight 'lil puss

Piffle · 11/01/2008 18:08

kitty sorry but you made me laugh
but shit about your fanjo? oh dear, now I was nearly sitting in a puddle of my own incontinence !!!

Seriously worth getting it checked out though. not sure popping a cork in would work, nor even a regular saveloy session...

See ladies I'm fine, ok, glass of wine in hand. Pragmatic and calm... well that's for today

bethoo · 11/01/2008 19:03

what a shitty day! hayden been a whinge all day what with his sore eyes, possible teething and fussy eating and being very clingy....

kittywise · 11/01/2008 19:12

Yeah I am going to the doc next week.

I supposed the worst thing that could happen is an op. |Ooh yes, stitch me up nice and neat, just like what it used to be .

Glad you're feeling ok piff

Callieco · 11/01/2008 19:59

Kitty, bad taste comment alert, but hang on in there! Seriously, really hope everything's ok. My mum had a prolapse after two kids (of the womb I think), then went on to have me and she's fine. She does do her pelvic floors though. I am sitting here squeezing as I type..

It must be one of those days, Bethoo, cos I've had one too. Woke up with PMT from hell, couldn't sleep last night, had that really coiled nerves/blood vessels feeling, knackered beyond belief, then AF started faintly (again), have had headache, backache, irritability etc. I was taking Jordi for his second settling in session at the creche too, and actually leaving him this time, so not the best day for it. He was fine when I left as they were just about to have lunch, and went quite happily with one of the nursery staff. I rang after an hour and could hear wailing in the background which sounded familiar... the girl said he had been fine for dinner but then was "a bit teary" (probably the understatement of the century if I know him), and was rubbing his eyes so they had put him down to sleep with the others and she said another worker had just said he was going off. When I went back after another hour, he was still asleep, and seemed ok when he woke, but then I was there. However, he was looking around quite happily and I think would have been fine to stay and play for a while, so hopefully he wasn't too traumatised by me going. I spent the free time trying to do something useful, ie actually get some clothes as I have a serious shortage cos I can never shop when he's with me - he has no tolerance for shops at all. I tried on five things, and they were all either too small or just wrong, and I got very depressed by the reflection in the harshly-lit dressing room mirror too! So I spent £4 on parking for nothing. Then Jordi has had a very whiny rest of the day, because he's got this cough and is teething badly, I can see the next two teeth along on the bottom row under the skin, bless him, so it has been hard work. Then to top it off, when I gave him his bedtime milk, after he finished he did a massive hacking cough and sicked up the milk all over the only clean babygro I had - spent a while digging through bags of clothes my sister had given me over Christmas to find another one.

Sorry for the long moan, have just had enough today, and DP is annoying me too. I would love to have a few wines, but it will probably make me feel worse, bad-tempered and hungover tomorrow. Oh joy. I'll probably get bad period pains on Monday or Tuesday when I'm back in work too. The only silver lining to anything is I am back on the payroll now, and will actually get paid on Tuesday, so at least that will smooth the transition back a little.

Geekymummy, hello and welcome. I don't usually moan this much, honest!

fitfox · 11/01/2008 21:12

Callie/Bethoo - sorry you both had crappo days. Callie - you reminded me of why I hate clothes shopping!!!
