Caesarean General Chatter & Discussion #8

Thanks hun!!! She will be 16 1/2 mths if he is on time! Nice close gap- people keep telling me how busy I will be and how I will have my hands full - Um Im pretty sure I KNOW that and don't need them to tell me! Im already thinking about what it was like with Izzy and what it will be like having another baby plus a very demanding toddler! Thank goodness for my mum who is a phone call away!

Oh yes, You've gotta love your mum! I told mine that if she wants anymore grandbabies she has to come and live with us for at least a month when I bring the next baby home.
Not sure if this is true, but I'd like to think that it is. Someone said that it is harder going from zero babies to one (and adjusting to the huge life change), than it is going from having one to having two.

I will let you know- but I guess it makes sense as we have a bit of an idea of what's to come! having a baby won't be all new - it will just be juggling the 2!!! Mum wants to take Izzy for a day a week for me because they baby sit while I work now and are going to miss seeing her so I said - go for it! Will give me time with my little man, plus on other days she can take him and I can have days with my girl!! Gotta love 'em I really admire people who do it all with zero family support!

Thats a great idea. And Izzy will enjoy spending her 1 day a week being spoilt by grandma also.

I work 4 days a week atm and I am lucky enough to have mum look after Charli on the days that I work.

I just looked at this thread and thought - mmmm Spice, must be a new member!

Just thought I would post this thread from a while ago we were chatting about VBAC's and it answers a bunch of questions really well. Also wanted to see how everyone was travelling!

HERE it is,(mod approved) and I also wanted to pop in and say I have booked my doula, have stacks of dvd's and books to read and keep researching for myself and am feeling super positive right now! Thanks for all the support ladies!

Tanstar. I felt like a change. I'm hopefully not just going to be Charli'smumma soon so I thought I may as well change my name in anticipation

Sounds like you are really preparing yourself for your VBAC. Good on you! Very interresting article too. Thanks for posting it.
