Hot... do you have muscle separation? I had it rather bad with Elijah and it scares me that if I have another it's going to be worse than then. I had to tubigrip after the birth to hold my tummy up and in enough otherwise I could barely walk. With the support, I could though but it was really tender. I couldn't use the tubigrip for long though and was worse when I was pg cos it kept rolling up across my back and digging in so bad that it looked like I had enormous welts! What is the womama wrap? Maybe you could PM me a link?


Yep, i had muscle seperation from about 20 weeks with my DD, it got to 6cm after she was born. I got it back to about a 2cm gap before this pregnancy. I haven't measured to see what i am at now. I also have a hernia t my belly button this time that i think is related. Yeah, i get the tubigrip rolling down my back too. My midwife gave me a number to call for someone who makes bellywraps, will let you know if i find it any good. The womama birth wrap is just a funky dress thing that looks really comfy, it doesn't give support to the tummy. If you google 'womama birthing wrap', you will see it. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/f21/womama-168774/


HotI yes we had the heel test at home for both babies, and then for the hearing test I had to organize it with the university of Melbourne audiology clinic. It was free, and baby has to be less than four months old, so there's heaps of time. Bub has to be asleep though, so obviously it's easier when they're newborn and will sleep through anything.
Thanks for that, i didn't know you could get the hearing test done up to 4 months- even better that you don't have to go to hospital for it.
