Oh dear - doesn't sound good
bedtime dramas! everynight at the moment, doing my head in
Oh my gosh I hear ya!:
Put my pre-preg jeans on and I can get them on but can't do them up :(
Meg don't feel bad about J... you are doing the best you can :hug:
Jols - swap your 2 yo for a threenager ;)
I hear you on the clothes - I have a pouch :crying: It looks awful! I put on 20kg and have lost 11 so 9 to go to pre-preg weight and I probably need to lose 5kg on top of that but it is soooo depressing.
im like you op can get the jeans on and done up but its not comfy, still using the belly belt, ive lost 11kg 3 to go!!
nai thanks will consider all options :lol:
ETA sophie is asleep had to negotiate a sticker in the morning if she goes to sleep :rolleyes: negotiating with a 2 yr old, who' would have thought!!
Haven't even got near the scales lately.. I was 6kg off my pre-pregnancy weight (but then I was overweight before I got UTD).
DS had a shocking night last night - upset, windy, clingy tried everything to get him to settle - ended up calling DH in to have him so I could get a sleep - poor DH tried bathing and everything to settle. Seemed like DS was booby monster again and everything was going straight through him - huggies nappies just weren't coping. I think it was either the growth spurt or because I had rissoles and onions yesterday - because today (boring food) he's been very settled.
welcome Ali! woot!!
I still haven't had any visits by the mums and bubs nurse yet, and no sign of mother's groups - so I'm going to contact a kids play group organisation tomorrow and see who I can contact.
Tarkine- Usually your maternal child health nurse organises a new mums group for the new mums in the area, have you had a visit from yours yet or been in contact with them yet? Yeah I been trying to avoid bad foods just in case they are causing unsettledness, will try anything.
AJP- I hear you, we have bedtime play ups here, I actually posted about it in my sep 06 group, Ash just gets so silly and won't co-operate. The other night she had to go to bed with no milk or bedtime story so she been bit better since then. But boy do we look forward to tucking her in!
OP- Have you got carrier or something you could use in the day? Being upright might help with all that screaming. Thats great bout the big gap overnight, so what I want.
Meg- Hopefully you'll get some rest on weekend with J being at grandmas. Its hard isn't it. I been trying whenever Em is asleep to do some activity with Ash, usually something that doesn't require much energy from me like puzzle or coloring, so shes happy she has my attention.
Yes def clothes drama here, nothing fits! Mat clothes too big and my old clothes I can't get past my bum I thought my bum had grown in preg and this confirms it, been wearing trackies!
tarkine arnt they supposed to contact you?????? ring the hospital and ask them what the go is, down here they contact us and visit within a week of bubs birth.
i hope alex is more settled tonight for you.
ETA snap shell!!
shell yep same issues, all goes down hill from bathtime on wards! so frustrating and sick of negoitating with her!
Must be an age thing, cause exact here, straight after bath or shower it starts. Since having Em, Df has had to take over the bathing of Ash and now he understands why I was getting so frustrated with her at night, fighting to get her PJs on and get teeth brushed.
Hi girls,
I am sorry but this is a really selfish post but am hoping you can help me. I feel so dumb asking these questions... :(
How often am I supposed to bath DD? Last night and tonight I just washed her face and her girly bits with a face washer and have cleaned her umbilical chord stub with a cotton bud but I havent bathed her since DP and I did it in hospital on Tues arvo. Is that really bad?
Also my milk has come in yesterday and today and the sideof my boobs feel like big lumps. I dont fel sick and it doesnt hurt, its just really heavy and hot. Is this just the milk ducts filling or are they blockages?
How often do you guys feed in a night as well?
Sorry or the questions I just dont know what is normal?
ali millie has had 5 baths in 3 weeks!!! they dont need them and as millie was overcooked and dry skined we have limited them!!
boob is it the outside of the breast that are lumpy??? those ducts fill first, i had the same problem, what i did was feed in the football hold as the lower jaw then drains those ducts, worked a treat for me. i also used cold/wet washer out of the fridge to help with any swelling and soreness.
millie feeds 2-3 times, shes demand fed so whenever she asks for it.
these are not silly questions hun!!

AJP - Alex was born on the 20th Feb, can you please change the date listing in the above post?
Shell - the midwife signed me off last friday and said that the nurse would contact me this week - although I wasn't being put on the priority list as everything is going really well, so maybe they will contact me tomorrow or next week (maybe I just live in an area with a lot of priority bubs!)... Although I still have the contact with the midwife from the midwifery program, so I'm not on my own, but still would like to get things sorted out.
all fixed hun!!!
i needs to know how late/early some bubs where please chickies!!
and middle names for emily and grace
bugger i forgot to add birth times :doh: will fix tomorrow i really should go to bed!!
THanks Jols. Yeah its the outsid of the boobs kind of under my arms. I am only feeding her int he football position as I feel un-co any other way and my boobs are massive!!! I am going to get some new BIGGER mat bras tomorrow! I had E cups but need bigger!!!! Oh dear!
Good to know about the bathing thing. I wasnt sure whether I was jsut being slack but that sounds like a good number to me.
I am just doing the demand feeding but making sure she feeds at least every 4 hours but am worried that if I feed hjer too much that my supply will continue to increase!
The midwife came today and she has only lost 90grams (which is great). I just forgot to ask so many questions.
I might go put a cold wet washer in the fridge for some relief.
Jols- 13 days late!!!!! :ROFL: such a girl!!! Born at 3:12am. Oh and weight tuned out to be 8lbs 1oz. :)
