Meow it's just weird to imagine a time when kids don't know any better about hospital birth and formula feeding
Sounds like you are doing an amazing job with you ds! You must get so tired being 100% all the time. You should be super proud. Another reason to hold off having another, you will need a little me time to nurture your new little one
Hi everyone!
Oh Arcadia, has the burning pain gone? Oh how frustrating and disheartening I still have a burning sensation when he first latches on and for about 1/2 hour after the feed. But this is a big improvement. I ended up at my GP in tears on Fri. I had done the Diflucon (finished on Thurs) and had noticed an improvement. But still feeling down about the pain. GP prescribed a cream- Kenacomb. Have you used it? I was sceptical. How can a cream help with deep, internal pain? It cost $54 for 30g! Anyway, 3 days later and it has obviously had an impact. I should join bf thread but I wouldn't want to turn anyone off!
So exciting that you might start ttc at end of year! You should definitely have the pool on stand by for your next birth.
Sorry, I'll catch up with everyone else later- time to feed on my 'dodgy' side!
Ash- I pmd you so we don't hijack this thread with the terrible woes of ****ing thrush!! But I think of you every day!
Team, yes I like to sew and have made a few quilts...I'm a novice patchworker, but I make curtains, upholster furniture, make clothes for myself. My main focus for the last five years has been leather bags.
Meow, I'm so glad things are going so well for you. Maybe we'll be belly buddies for our next (with tegam)
Jen, thanks for your kind words. I do feel like I know my birthing body intimately. It's an awesome feeling! With dd I pushed her head and body out in one go, but ds I pushed his head out and then had a good break and then his body. I infinitely prefer the slower version lol, because dd gave me a graze as she came out (she had her hands at her face).
Gotta run...so sorry for those I haven't included....
