Sarah are you breastfeeding? constipation seems to be a common problem when BF. I had it after birth of DS and am determined not to repeat this. I eat several dried apricots daily and this seems to help (as well as lots of water). I believe figs are best, so if you like them (I don't!) dried figs would be helpful. Have you seen your GP? They mmight have suggestions. I remember mine said to eat kiwifruits, including the peel, but i think they're out of season now. Good luck, I hope you resolve it soon.
beatrix and Shoegal, I've also had some bleeding. I noticed when i had my first shower after the caesar that my bum felt different and I think it's haemorrhoids (but not sure since I've never had them before). Whatever it is, it was definitely not there before labour, and I never even got to the pushing stage so I imagine it was the pressure that caused it. I hope it stops because I'm really not keen to go see the doctor about it! I had my share of indignities while giving birth and that was quite enough thanks...
grubi hope your day's been better than your night.
Oh, and beatrix, spring cleaning? You're amaziing! it's all I can do just to empty the rubbish bin!

I've had a bit of constipation too, but it's directly related to how much water I drink - so that's my advice - drink up!
Trying to get some extra sleep today so am heading back to bed in a sec (DH & DS are there now!)...
Still in PJ's - but I have showered & brushed my teeth today (hooray).. am washing the few clothes that fit at the moment so it's easier to stay in PJ's!
Didn't make it to the health food shop or chemist today to get probiotics, so will do so tomorrow - hope we're ok til then!
*Yawn* catchya all later!

It's almost 6.00pm here and Baxter has not had a proper feed since 11.00am.
He screams at the breast and is refusing it. He had a green poo a little while ago as well.
He is currently awake, alert & settled but screams the house down as soon as the breast is offered.
What should I do???

Hugs to you shoe...
I'm afraid I'm not much help because Liam's not at the breast. Have you tried ringing the ABA helpline? I've got a list of numbers here if you tell me which state you're in.
Sleep was ok, but as always, I can always use a little more

Shoegal I usually call the maternal and child health service with any after-hours problems. In case you dont' have it, the number is 13 22 29. They have a call-back service so you don't have to hang on for ages.
