Just came back in to this forum after a busy 2 weeks. It is great to read through all your comments as it makes me feel normal!

Oskar is now 7 weeks. At his 6 week checkup he was 5.7 kg, 60 cm long and 40 cm head - so a big boy.

I had my obs. check up too, I have gained 5 kg since my first appointment, not too much really but it must all be on my thighs as none of my pants fit. I talked about contraception with my obs. and am thinking og getting the Implanon. She inserts a couple a week and noones had any problems (and you can always get it out if you do). A few people said they have up on weight, but I know a lot of people who put on weight without the implanon to - lol!!

I have been to my new parents group twice (not a mothers' group as a dad attended once!). It is really large, twenty people, everyone seems nice... except I am sure they lie as noone ever mentions they have any problems. The first meeting we were asked if anyone had trouble getting their baby to sleep in the middle of the night. I had that week and was the only one who put my hand up. I cannot believe everyone elses babys sleep perfectly every night. It was funny as afterwards the nurse (?) taking it said "By the way, all mothers lie about their babies" and they all laughed!

Oskar is usually sleeping from 11pm until 5.30 am, which is great for my sleep, but not my breasts! However, we still have some crazy times and days. Currently it is near impossible to get him to sleep for his 7ish to 10ish sleep and he only lets Jeremy settle him then and not me (good in a way, as I can relax).

Enough of me... hope you all get some good rest tonight.
