Hm, ok, so the last couple of days ive realised that where my c/s wound seems to be 'coming open' it feels like there's stitches coming up underneath, like its being forced out by my body. Then there was a bit up at the surface of the skin. So this morning I pulled that out a bit and cut off about 2cm of it (it was stuck on either end so couldn't get anymore out). Then just now after my shower i noticed the end was stiking out further than what id cut it off as. So i thought id pull it out to cut off as much as possible, and it just kept sliding and sliding until a good 8cm piece came out. .....has my body just not dissolved the stitches for some reason, or did they use the wrong stitches? (coz they were stitched inside, so its not like i was supposed to have them taken out)...! Anyway, now i know at least 2/3 of the stitches have come out and should heal up properly now. I can still feel some on the last 1/3 so i guess they'll come to the surface at some point. ...did i mention the doctor who did my c/s had *****ed himself with a needle earlier that afternoon...? (a clean one, but really!!) . Hardly worth suing but its tempting. Oh and he said they should put me back onto the Synto drip after me and bub had reacted REALLY badly to it, to which the MWs forcefully said they REFUSED to do that.

Thanks everyone for the tips on nappies. I don't need a lot so that might count out the Aldi and Woolies packs if they're too big. I'll have a look (I'm such a miser now we're on 1 pay. I love it!)

Hollye, congrats on the new car!!! And on Gas too! Very nice!! We'd looked at a few Futuras to replace my little Lanos but thought fuel might be too much. Didn't find any on gas tho.

Apart from that I'm having problems getting Liam to BF. After having a girls night last Friday and him getting 2 full bottle feeds he screams and pulls away with BF now. Buuut, this morning I put my finger in his mouth which he sucked then slipped the bb in, so we'll see how long that trick lasts..... wish me luck!
