Hi all! Its so cool to see us all on "the other side" of pregnancy with our little people!
Peter was born on June 10- I can't beleive its been three weeks already.
I totally sympathise with all of you experiencing wind problems. Peter gets pretty unhappy with it as all- his face goes all red and his little legs jiggle around everywhere. We saw the chemist and have put him on drops called Iberogast- they are a herbal thing. They have definately helped his tendancy to chuck up half his food and helped his wind a bit- not eliminated it, but helped. But he still gets upset....especially at 10pm when I really, really want to be in bed!
I also am having "debates" with DH about the division of responsibility. We are in a unique situation in that we both work from home so, in theory, can share things more equally.... yeah, that theory works.... Sigh. No matter what your situation, I think this is such a huge adjustment. I am finding it hard on my relationship with DH. And there just doesn't seem to be the time to sit down and really talk about it.
How is everyone recovering from birth? I had a traumatic birth- dangerous heartrate drop for Peter, LOTS of tearing, shoulder dytocia, and a whole lot of complications for me. I am still very sore, and they say it will be 3 months before I am really recovered. But I take salt baths (with Peter) everyday and they are wonderful!
Anyone with other tips on wind or getting back in touch with DH?!
