Hollye - Reductil is good, I was on it before I had kids and lost 17 kgs in 3 months. I loved it & didnt miss the junk food while I was on it. I think I might go back on it too. Have you felt that you find yourself not hungry? I had a bit of trouble sleeping on it at first but think once my body was used to it I was right. Are you taking it first thing in the morning?
Didi - Glad Jorda is enjoying her solids. I havent started Lara yet but can't wait to see how she enjoys them. I am not looking forward to the stained clothes though. Im not sure how heavy Lara is (getting her weighed next fri when she has her needles) but she is still in infant size huggies. They haven't leaked yet, I have boxes of crawler here ready for when she grows out of the infant.
csab - Glad you're feeling a bit better today. Poor V, hope her cold goes away soon & good luck for her op.
1stBub - Hopefully you'll get a good night sleep tonight. I hate nights when I can't sleep. I am a very light sleeper at the best of times so when I dont get much sleep I feel even worse during the day.
Leigh - yeh i take it in the morning. I still am getting hungry but i have only been on it for 2 days so it may take a while to kick in?? yeh my interest in junk food is less.. just dont feel like it. did u do strict diet and exercise while on it?
Yeah I did do strict diet and exercise. I am a junk food queen and love it but didnt really miss it while I was on the reductil. Think once I saw the weight dropping off and my clothes getting bigger I didnt miss the junk. I did occaisionally eat it but felt guilty having it.
Think I might make an appointment to go see my dr so I can get it again. I have no control with the junk at the moment & coz the tablets make you feel full I wont feel like it, well hopefully anyway. Are you exercising and eating healthy? I just hope I can find time to exercise everyday. With Dh's work schedule it is hard finding time to go for a walk without the kids.
Think I am going to get my implanon taken out too. I am always bleeding or spotting. Havent had much of a break from the bleeding in the 4 months since I've had Lara and I am getting really sick of it. What are you girls using for contraception?
It was a year ago today that I found out I was pregnant with Lara.
im on the depo 3 month injection for contraception. Havent had any bleeding what so ever, even wehn my period was due.
Yeh im TRYING to eat healthy . I went for a walk today so thats better than nothing. Im also a junk food addict.. so i need to stop eating crap. DP had KFC for tea and i had subway, so its not as bad.
Morning all - just a quick question in regards to bottle feeding - Bianca is still on the teats for 2mths olds i think - i have tried to up her to the 3mth old teats for her bottle but she chokes on it! - is this normal for her to be so behing in changing teats?
Sorry HJ, I dont know. We use Tommee Tippee. I just noticed a few weeks ago he was struggling with the 0-3months so am getting the 3-6months (a few every week). He seems to suck his cheeks in on the younger ones. Has no probs with the older ones.
Thanks for all your suggestions for sleep. I don't drink coffee, tea of coke apart from the very rare occasion. And after putting on weight last week I've been really good and cut the snacks off (except for yesterday but that's coz i was too tired to resist and needed a big energy hit to keep shopping while Liam was asleep). Anyway, last night I had a nice warm shower before bed and lit my all-favourite insence stick which has helped me sleep in the past, and slept reeeeeally well. (...just not enough. Come on 9pm!!!! ). I think its maybe coz i was still trying to 'work' up until bedtime, so I'm gonna try giving myself some pc restrictions for about 2 hours before bed.
On other news, went to the doc today, and I have a hernia. (Ew!) Just a small one, doesn't potrude out of the skin or anything gross like that. So i just have to be careful with how much i lift etc. If it gets worse we'll have to look at operating, but he seems to think if i'm careful it shouldn't be an issue for many years, aside from the occasional pain.
Liam's great. Getting very active and always wanting to move. Charming women all over town. He's a cutie. He does this high pitched talking thing. Very musical sounding. Anyway, should get to work. Too much to do, too little time!
so lets talk about these babies teeth... i thought Mia started teething at like 2-3 months. i dont think this was the case as i think she was more unselttled from her reflux. I dont know whats going on in her mouth. I can feel about 3-4 teeth. 2 down the bottom and 1-2 up the top. But they have been like that for ages. She doesnt seem too fussed by them most days, but today she was and had bonjela twice. But i bet tomorrow she will be fine again.. *scratches head* My MHCN said that on average babies cut their first tooth around 5.5 - 6 months.
so what have u ladies noticed going on with ur bubs mouths?
). I think its maybe coz i was still trying to 'work' up until bedtime, so I'm gonna try giving myself some pc restrictions for about 2 hours before bed.
