oh Zennie i'm so sorry - how difficult for you at this demanding time . can you ask DP to show up for a few hours a day to help? call on whatever assistance you can - family, friends, anyone, so you're not so overwhelmed. in my opinion you shouldn't worry about pnd and what effect your stress is having on baby - as long as you're able to fulfil basic needs all will be fine. the most important thing is just to do whatever you can to get through until the dust settles and you know where you stand with DP etc. take it one day at a time.

Sharon good luck coping on your own! Hope all goes smoothly and you have a good n ight.

Nettie you're obviously doing brilliantly with DS. Just shows, 'they' don't always know what's best and what's possible!

Grubi that sounds a good weight gain, well done.

Fire I'm not bothering with tummy time at this stage either. there's no way DD will enjoy lying on her stomach on the floor, and like your DS she gets more than enough tummy-to-chest time to practise lifting her head!

Those of you who've had caesars, are you finding your back gets sore from carrying baby? Hving my abs sliced through seems to have made me prone to back pain.
