A little bit of hope for you. Plus dont worry about something that can change over night! He could move by the time you need to give birth!

[Liviam]

Oh Tan I'm so sorry that bubs is breech right now . Got everything crossed that he turns for you so you can have your VBAC.

Kass - God haven't we all been in that position that the one week you don't have any money spare you need it. Happens to us all gorgeous.

[sangie]

Bugger Tan! Have you checked out the spinning babies website? Don't worry hun, there is still time for him to turn, positive thoughts and everything crossed for you ok!

[Danni]

definitely check out the spinning babies website hun!!

[Beach Mama]

Yep - have been on lots because was trying to avoid a posterior labour again...... looks like I will have to set up the ironing board on the couch and lounge around upside down... question for you lovelies! How does that work - gravity normally works with your body and the babies head being the heaviest part of his body, to pull him head down. Now if he is head up and Im lying on an angle head down - wouldn't that mean you are working against gravity!??? i don't get it but am gonna try it!

OMG, I am so sorry, I have been MIA!! I have been soooo busy, I am wondering when I can stop and relax!! I have work to day, andf have been furiously tryint to get myhouse in order for guests in 2 weeks. I am redecorating the girls room. Well actually clearing out the toy room and making that their room cause it is bigger. So have searched everywhere for some nice furniture cause there are no built ins but dont have time to put some in!! yikes! So am getting a desk and hutch, dresser and tall boy and bookcase, and am hoping all their clothes and stuff will fit in that!! My Dh isn't happy cause it is almost 3K for it all, not including the paint and new carpet. But lucky my tax cheque was OK!! So a busy busy busy!!!

Just for you thought Tan, I think my little man was breech till about 32wks, then turned. I was stressing cause my ob was def not going to let me have a vag birth if he was breech. Was c/section whether I liked it or not. So...fingers crossed for you babe, hope he turns!!!!!

Be back tonight hopefully to try and catch up prop!! Better run and get dressed for work!! xxx

[Danni]

everyone is so busy! us included!

Everything is going so well at the moment, Dh and i are going perfectly right now. Better than i thought!

Mason is just so unbelievable. He knows how to blow his nose! Who taught him that? lol
He also blows kisses now and is sayin so many more words. he is growing up too fast!

[sangie]

Hello all!!

D - so happy that things are going well for you! I know what you mean about our bubbas growing up too fast. Yesterday as I left for work Ellie says 'bye bye see ya'! I nearly fell over laughing it was so cute but so grown up too!

Shell - just reading your schedule makes me tired! Hope you are well and taking care of yourself. Is Angus fully weaned now?

Tan - how is that nursery coming along? Not long until you finish work, how exciting!

Kass - how is Annabelle going, did her eyes clear up?

Lulu- hope you and your girls are ok, haven't heard from you in a while??? Or maybe we have and I just missed it which is highly possible lol!

Better go, I have to do about a zillion loads of washing today and have a guy coming to fix our dishwasher. Fingers crossed its not going to be too expensive!

Hello to all you other lovelies, hope all is well!

[Beach Mama]

BBL but had to say

HOORAY FOR MATERNITY LEAVE!! 6 WEEKS TIL WE MEET OUR LITTLE MAN!!

[Kazmar]

Tan- Yay, for no more work!!!

D- Im so happy things are working out

HB- Sorry to hear the bleeding is back. Does the doctor seem like they're getting to the bottom of things?

Sangie- Yay for a dishwasher! Mine is dirty and Im just hand washing at the moment Mind you my hands look like old lady hands all dried out! Annabelle's eyes are all better! So much so we still went swimming this morning

I know I have missed some but Ill bbl to do some more personals

Looking for a new home at the moment as our house we're in now is sold. But thats all good as we were moving at the end of the lease anyway. We want a new house! Where ever we move next Im never moving again till we buy! We may even buy that one if all goes to plan. So we'll stay in it abaout 4-5yrs. I dont want to move to much I think the bubbas need a stable home Yep bubbas!

[LuluHB]

HI everyone. Sorry I've not been around. Life is completely sh*t at the moment to be perfectly honest. Elena turns out to have the same food intolerances as Izzy, so within 15 minutes of a feed she is in horrible pain, completely rigid and screaming her little lungs out. She still won't take a bottle so there's nothing I can do to fix her. I've tried everything I can think of and wanted to throw myself off a cliff when my CHN said "oh yes. Some babies just won't take bottles"!!! FFS I don't want her on a bottle for my convenience. The poor little thing is suffering. I am so close to just waking up one morning and simply not feeding her until she is so damn hungry she takes the bottle. It has sounded so cruel to me in the past when people have suggested but I'm now thinking that's far less cruel than continuing on this way. My PND is completely out of control. Couldn't find any happy pills I could take that didn't make Elena even worse and the clinical psychologist I was referred to has an appointment for me, wait for it, on 22 September!!! Am waiting to hear back from a help line for the child expert place in Perth and also from the counselling service attached to the hospital where the girls were both born. Hopefully someone will have some answers. It was my birthday yesterday and DH and I had planned on having our first night out together (or any time at all for that matter) since Elena was born. Ended up not going because she just wouldn't stop screaming and I couldn't leave her with Mum when she was like that.

So, after that whinge aren't you all glad you haven't heard from me before now?!?!

Tan - sorry to hear your little man is breach. I'm sure he will turn for you though. He's going to be a good boy. Otherwise, I'll come over there and have serious words with him!

Otherwise, great to read that everyone seems to be doing very well. Will hopefully be back soon with some positive news.

[Kazmar]

Lulu- Im so sorry to hear what a hard time you're still having! It makes me so mad to think, you are obviously begging for help then people wonder why some mothers are pushed to the edge. Maybe if we listened to them in the 1st place some horrible things wouldn't happen. Not saying you'll hurt your bubbas but just upset that people are brushing it off when your a good enough mummy to ask for help in the 1st place
All I can say is when you feel like you're at breaking point, just keep thinking, "It's not going to last, this situation will pass."
I find it hard to believe there is nothing that can be done for your situation, Im sure other mummies have gone through the same thing, I just dont know where to tell you to turn Im so sorry
Have you emailed, maybe Kelly from BB she may have some numbers and support groups that can help?

[Liviam]

Oh Lulu you are having such a ***** time at the moment. I just wish I could reach through this computer and give you the biggest hug to reassure you that you are an amazing mum who is just having a rough time at the moment who needs some help to get through. Have you given Kass's suggestion of contacting Kelly and asking for some support numbers any thought? It was so hard for us to get Olivia to take a bottle and what we had to do was try different brands until we found on she would try and then I went out and Dave gave her a bottle when her feed was due and she had to either drink that or go without as the boobies weren't around. She drank it and we didn't look back. It was so hard as she cried for a while before she drank it. What type of bottles are you using?

Tan - YAY for maternity leave!!! Not long to go now before your little man is here. Can't wait to hear the announcement. Has anyone offered to post the details in here for you? I'm more than happy to do it for you. How's your gorgeous girl going? I am so jealous of all her hair. I wish I could put Livvy's hair in pigtails but her hair is far from it.

Kass - How's the house hunting going? How exciting finding a house to raise your kid/kids in. Annabelle being a good girl?

Hi to all the other gorgeous amazing mums in our little group. Sorry I missed you in my personals but I promise I am thinking of you all. Had a crazy busy weekend and need to go to bed before I have to head back to work tomorrow.
Chat properly soon ladies.

[Shellbelle]

Oh Lulu, I have no idea what to say, cause I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. My lot are hard work and I had prtty big age gaps, I look at Angus and he is such a bubba still to me, I couldn't imagine having a newborn also. You are one selfless, fantastic Mum. You can only do what ou can do, and I think if you need to wean Elena for her own sake and yours, get your Mum over and let her offer the bottles. The only ones I could get Angus to take were the tommee tippy closer to nurture. The fat bottles, with a really soft teat. Buy some formula sachets and give it a whirl. Can your Mum stay and help you a bit? What about putting Izzy into daycare one day a week? I wish I was closer to not only give you a hug, but have a chat and a cuppa and just to let you know, you ARE doing a great job. Being a Mum is hard work. And you have been given an extra complication to deal with, but you did it with Izzy so you can do it again. But, you need to look after yourself also. I think our health system sux, we can't even help those in need when they need it most. All I can say is, take help when it is offered, and hassle that psychologist. Can you get a refferal for another one? Oh Lulu, seriously babe, come in here and vent away.

Have to get these kids ready for school, be back later for an us update. Love to all xxxx

[sangie]

Oh no Lulu I was worried when I hadn't heard from you for a while and sounds like I had every right to be I can't believe you have to wait until 22 Sep, that just makes me soooo angry. Keep hassling hun and fingers crossed you get to see somebody sooner. Like the others said you ARE doing an amazing job and this will pass, fingers crossed it is sooner rather than later Come in here anytime and vent ok!

Tan yay for mat leave, enjoy!

Ok better go get some work done, I'll pop back in a bit later. love to you all xxxxxx

[LoveKnowsNoBounds]

Lulu, you are doing such an amazing job. Have you tried your local baby health centre, they can often refer you to a government counsellor or perhaps a support group of women feeling the same as you are. The one I went to had a in house creche by some lovely women so that we could actually go to the support group. You could also try finding another pyschologist as mine saw me fairly quickly. Have you heard of Panda? Their helpline is 1300 726 306, they may be able to give you some strategies to get you through.

Your local doctor may be able to refer you to someone as well. There are lots of avenues for help, but unfortunately they aren't advertised. Get the help and don't feel bad leaving your two little ones if you need to help you feel better. PND is a long and ugly road (I'm still on it with Julian) so i can only imagine how you are feeling. Take care of yourself xox
