    Joy, thnx, yeah I've got Lanisoh, tried it in hosp but didn't help, but tried it again the other day & it did help. :-)
    Oh & Holly too wait's for her nappy to be off to pee, luckily though it doesn't squirt upwards like boys, hehe.
    Hope u can drive soon.

    Abs, hope Jen is feeling better real soon.

    Theresa, hehe on the leaking, I too went out recently without pads in but luckily had a dark/patterned dress on & didnt noticeably leak. Hope Georgie doesn't have food intollerances too.

    Jacci, glad the move went well & bub's is being such an angel. Wow, driving straight away & walking & doin situps, awesome. Oh no on the lack of nipple shields where u live, they're a life saver for cracked/bleeding nipples, glad u got urs now. :-)

    REFLUX & COLIC: apparently reflux babies dont gain any weight, scream alot, etc, can't remember other symptoms midwife said. Misdiagnosed often & most of the time people say reflux when it is actually posetting. Same goes for colic & wind. The terms get used incorrectly sometimes, even by GP's I'm told. One is worse than the other. Holly has posetting & wind (& hiccups but they're normal). Just a tidbit of info that I have been told. Although sometimes her spew is clear which the nurse was concerned about, so to ask at the peadiatrician checkup next wk, although she is thriving in the weight dept. :-)

    C/S & DRIVING: Hosp said 6wks, but I drove after 2.5wks as put pelvis out & couldnt walk to aptmts. Althouth have pwr steering, but is a manual. I use a folded up towel under seat belt, GP said ok so long as I dont twist/turn hard & fast. Although midwives were surprised at my quick recovery from c/s & were amazed I didn't need an epi top up nor pain killers, but they gave me panadol for few days. :-) Pelvis is improving too, hence can walk better now, yay. :-)

    C/S & LIFTING/EXERCISING: my cuz said she popped a stitch from doing too much too soon after a c/s. We have a lightweight pram, so that makes lifting easier.
