WTF christy!! that is disgusting!!!!, no wonder some women feel like they have no support available when silly women like that make stupid comments or assumptions!!! that makes me soooo angry to be told you dont have enough milk is rediculous, makes me wonder if she even has kids!! dont let her get you down, is there another number you can call??
Vicky the petrol thing is my worst nightmare!! i ALWAYS check to make sure i have my purse before i fill up as i'm soooo scared that i wont have my purse nas well. good on DH for taking charge and putting you to bed!! hope the extra rest helped.
Gigi have you found someone to possibly do a birth debrief with?? it may help tremendously and i'm still considering doing that myself, though i do feel heaps better as time passes about my birth, although not a bad birth, just regret having pethidine. feel free to vent whenever ypou like!!
hope everyone is well, it's very hot down here in vic, but luckly sophie seems to sleep better in the heat, go figure!!

would you believe, that after all the debarcle of thinking I had left my wallet at home - it was in the bloody car!!!! Couldn't find it this morning, so went to have a look in the car, and there it is sitting in the centre storage thing. arghhhhhhhhhh!!!! the day did get better though, and the rest did me the world of good. However, aston decided that last night he would wake up twice (unheard of!) and the second time would be a great time to start the day!! took ages to get him back to sleep. Just when you think you have a handle on things, everything changes...hopefully it was a one off.

Christy - what a stupid woman! I swear sometimes the people that they put on these helplines could help organise a p!ss up in a pub, let alone offer advise to someone in real need. I hope that you are able to find someone else darlin, don't give up.

WHO do you do a birth debrief with?

i have asked the midwives (who saw me during preg and for six weeks after labour), i have been told the obstret. who did the emerg. c would not see me (cos i was a once off, not a regular of theirs), so who should i ask?

i feel like no-one who was there (on the day) is interested in telling me anything.

i would LOVE a birthing debrief, don't know how you get one.

Kristy, i have had some interesting "encounters" with ChildYouthHealth in my state too, needless to say, i won't ever go in there again UNLESS i am feeling great, looking my best and bubs is happy. Anything else, i have learnt, 5 min judgements by strangers can be very dangerous. Thank the godess for my parenting support network worker - total opposite, very supportive and not regimented.

lots of other personals i wanted to respond to as well, but parenting support worker will be here in a tic to take me to "Getting to know your baby" class, so must go.

Thanks for making THIS a safe place to talk out wot we need to get out - i appreciate my cyber gals here SO MUCH!!!! (hugs)
