Kell- I think my dh will die not getting any for 6 weeks after baby is born! Oh well...!
Alish-Can understand ur fears and worries! But i think u will be fine DTD.. if ur a bit unsure just tell ur dh that u only want it shallow! I had a bit of a bleed at 14 weeks so it was shallow only for a few weeks til i felt safe enough. And there shld definitely be no pain unless u have thrush or a UTI!
We bought a second hand bassinette. If u can get one cheap or for free i think its a good idea to have one.. i wldnt want to spend heaps on one brand new since baby wont be in it for very long but i honestly dont think i wld be able to sleep without the baby in our room for the first couple months! Ive even bought this thing that baby lays in and can sleep between u in bed.. its like a big soft bottomed thing with cushioned sides.. i wld like to think we will be tough and not have him/her sleep with us but we let our little puppy sleep with us for his first 4 weeks so i know we will definitely be suckers for a tiny little beautiful baby!
Ferrals- I hope u slowed down this arvo after ur mad cleaning spree! Ur body was definitely telling u to take it easy. I hope ur tummy is feeling a bit better now and ur not getting any more painful tightenings. No wonder ur all prepared to possibly formula feed, what u went thru b/fing sounds awful and very painful!
And yes i so agree with it being annoying when dh gets touchy feely with the bbs! Mine arent overly sensitive or anything but when he goes need them i just feel like hitting his hands away! I feel like that when he starts having a play down below too.. not sure whats going on with me! We can still manage our top 3 positions.. him on top, me on top and spooning altho the him on top is getting a bit awkward if he forgets about my tum and half lays down on me! Just curious whats the only positon u can do now??
I will definitely be getting myself some of the lanshilo then! Just from the chemist??
Forshelby- Thanks for offering to send me some of the gel pads but we have a bras n things here.. hopefully they stock them! Are they actually meant for sore bbs from b/fing??
That is so so nice of ur friends to bring the cake over! They are definitely keepers! I hope u let urself have some
Hi Dory and Angelfish!
AFM- Had a good old time baby shopping today, didnt actually come home with anything but we know what we want now. Only problem is its so expensive! The cot we chose is $770, change table $300, and the pram $500. The cot we want is just beautiful. Its white and has 4 posts with lovely fine netting around it, it looks so pretty and cosey! (we also have mozzies here so the netting will keep them away!) And the pram is the Baby jogger City Mini, we wld LOVE to get the City Elite instead but its $900 and we cant quite justify it! (or afford it!). We decided to think about it all over the weekend and put our order in on monday.. the lady said it cld take up to 6 weeks for the pram and cot to arrive so we better get our butts into gear!
One of dhs cousins had a baby a few days ago and i just found out she had gas, 2 epidurals and pethadine and still really really struggled! It kinda frustrated me hearing that, this chick a few weeks ago had written on fb something about labour and bring on all the drugs.. and thats exactly what she did! I know i shldnt really be commenting cos i dont know how painful labour is but i dont think its the right frame of mind to go into labour with cos ofcourse no amount of drugs is going to help if u go into it thinking u are going to need to be fully dosed up for the whole thing! Am i making sense or just being nasty??! I dont have a birth plan but i wld love to try and get thru as much of labour as possible drug free.. (whether that be only a bit of it or most of it) I think with that frame of mind tho ur more likely to be able to tolerate a bit more pain whereas if ur trying to get drugged up with the first little bits of pain ur definitely going to struggle as the contractions get worse! Plus a lot of ppl arent warned about pethadine.. a lot of the time the baby comes out blue and u can also have trouble feeding for the first few hrs because u have basically drugged ur baby as well.. which is exactly what happened to dhs cousin! My mum has the attitude of the more drugs the better..no point putting up with unnecessary pain, and it really annoys me!
Anyway im just ranting on here, has it made sense tho??!
