I suppose its time i moved to this thread too...

Trina - I never had any luck with the Isis pump either, i tried it several times when i had Dylan and just couldn't get the stupid thing to work. I'm using a Medela mini electric pump now, works a treat, only thing is its lounder then the swing model but its cheaper. I've just used it once or twice to relieve a little pressure when i'm really full but i imagine i'll use it much more later down the track.
I've only ever heard great things about Medela and its ABA supported so i would personally only go for one made by them... other brands i've heard are just no where near as good.

Ryan has a pretty little mouth too but he has tongue-tie which makes it harder to latch and particularly for my right side which seems to be rounder then my left side it can get really painful. I have noticed however that when i feed him laying down it seems to make a world of difference (which is part of the reason i wanted to keep co-sleeping)

I've been really itchy too! I thought it might've been from the pain killers but if you're all getting it too...

SJ - I'm still on Panadeine Forte and only stopped taking Oxycodone a couple days ago but i reckon its been harder to get over this time around and also because i have the other two kids i can't rest as much which is a bummer, but when i had my first i stopped taking pain relief pretty early too, its nice to have a reminder to rest and relax, its a good excuse to aswell.

Haven't wet myself but i've actually been having a little trouble peeing altogether.. the first time after they took the catheder out was just awful! i couldn't pee for ages, they even threatened to put another one in unless i pee'd really soon. I managed to force one out thank goodness but it took alot of effort and trying to relax. It was horrible! Even now i'm having a little trouble, its not too bad but its like the muscles are having just a little trouble relaxing or something, i'm wondering if they maybe didn't put my bladder back quite exactly where it should be maybe.. dunno.. its not that much of an issue now so i'm not gonna complain about it but yeah..
