hj - u are on the pill arnt you?
Nope - my OB told me to get off it when i started getting some really big clots! was only on it for 3days!
Should i take the morning after pill?
oh my gosh i cant believe i did this! how stupid am i!!!!
hj, I have read that you can ovulate 2 weeks after having a baby so to play it safe I would get the m/a pill. Are you sure it wasn't just lochia still coming out? But still I wouldn't risk it. If you have read my thread 'scared' in the relationships section you will know that dtd is freaking me out enough without worrying about getting pregnant again. Oh I was going to ask about contraception actually. I have been off the pill for a couple of years and lost heaps of weight and generally felt heaps better as I had been on it for 7yrs. I'm reluctant to go back on it but was wondering if the mini pill has the same side effects as the full pill? I was also wondering if anyone out there has used a diaphram? where do you get them?
i would go get in HJ... u are very fertile after u have a bub. I havent even been game to DTD yet. And i know i wont be for months. Theres no way i could do another bub right now.
Olive'smummy - i can't help u with the mini pill question! but i know what u mean about feeling better not being on the pill! i too lost weight when i came off it!
i have never used a diaphram either - but don't u get them fitted at ur GP? Or with ur gyne or OB?
No idea if it was lochia or not but i got the m/after pill anyway just too play it safe!
Hollye - i did end up getting the pill - took me awhile to actually be game enough to take it! wanted to make sure it was the right thing -
I hope no-one thinks badly of me cause of all this! its my own silly fault i know, but in the heat of the moment.......... and as much as i miss being pregnant and i have my regrets about the pregnancy and labour and every day i wish i could re-do it, im not ready for another baby - we have too much going on next year and i want to spend a bit more time with just Bianca!
i can certainly say i have learnt my lesson tho!
Olive'smummy - i read ur post - and i posted in it if u want too read it!
HJ - Of course we don't think badly of you hun! I got pg with James while breastfeeding and I never got my period at all! We knew there was a bit of a risk but didn't think it would happen quite so soon!!! I hope you get it all sorted hun!
Hello to everyone - quickie here too! I have been shopping with a gf all day and I mean ALL day! I left Izzy with my dad and took James with us and he was just a gem! Slept or smiled in the pram all day, fed and back to sleep! Such a good little guy! Off to have dinner! Chat soon ladies!
I have my 6 week appt next Friday - I will talk about contraception then. Does the mini pill affect your milk at all?
Today was Logan's 4 week check up and he now weighs 5.385 kg, an increase of 680g in 2 weeks!!! He's certainly not having any feeding issues LOL. He has also grown 2cm, some 000 clothes are almost too small for him now. I can't believe how fast they grow out of stuff.
HJ - When Logan is really hard to settle, I put him in the sling and he sleeps straight away. Then the only trouble is getting him out of it to put him to bed. I had to do that tonight as he was screaming his head off and nothing else worked.
Thanks Tan :)
Kylie - my golly Logan is getting big! They do grow fast don't they! Bianca is now starting to fit in 000!!!!
Im not 100% sure but i don't think the mini pill affects ur milk!
Also the bouncer seems to work for Bianca in settling her, we just have to sit there and bounce it tho thats the only prob! hahaha
She is wide awake at the moment - im finding it hard not too play with her - but im trying to get her too realise that night time is not play time! Makes it hard being home alone! thank god this is DH's 2nd last night shift for 18mths!
Well here i am on the net patiently waiting for Bianca to go too sleep so i can have a shower! Don't think that will be happening anytime soon tho!
Kylie - The mini pill is fine when breastfeeding hun, you just have to make sure you take it at the same time every day. Even taking it at a few hours different to the day before makes it far less effective. I am going to try Implanon - we definitely don't want another one so close and James is gorgeous proof that breastfeeding isn't foolproof!! :)
OUCH!!!! Implanon - can they knock u out for that?
I don't think so HJ! It's basically a needle - I think I will be more scared to get it out than in! How is the Curash going?? I think it still has that sulphate stuff in it so see how you go.
We had a great night last night - James went down at 830, stirred at 1 so I rocked his hammock thinking this ain't gonna work and he slept til 645! :) Izzy was up at 5 thought for some odd reason, now that she's in a big girl bed she likes us to lie down with her at times to settle her which is ok but I tend to fall asleep and then she gets even more used to it so Ive been trying to sit instead of lying down!
Im off - I have a girlfriend who I went to high school with coming today, first time we have seen each other in around 14 years! Yep Im that old! :) Have a great day ladies!!!
Tan - i just used it for the first time last night - so can't comment on it at this stage!
And my gosh 14years!!! hahahaha and i thought i was old! hehehe only joking!
That should be a good day for u - does she have any kids? man u would have alot of catching up too do!
Have Fun!
What a hellish night i had! DH was on night shift so Little Miss decided to play up BIG time!
After a BIG battle she feel asleep at 2240 - woke up at 0125 and than after a even bigger battle and me ending up letting her cry herself to sleep (i felt so cruel) she finally fell asleep at 0300 and than started stirring again at 0500 - i got up too her at 0530 and she has been up since!
Im not a happy chappy this morning!
where is everyone?????
im here.. sorta..
lol
ahhh lil miss bianca is coming up for her 6 week growth spirt by the sounds of it. Mia is the demon child atm too. It took from 4:30pm till 10:30pm (yep 6 HOURS) to get her to stop screaming the house down. What made it worse is i had no idea what was wrong with her. She was completley feral.
Hollye - that is Bianca EVERY night!!! and im not joking - it is hell!
I got the practical parenting magazine (i love it) and i found a website in it - its called the Worlds Best Sleep Solutions -Im starting to think that maybe she is over tired cause im missing the tired signs - And that might be what was up with Mia last night!
Apparently u are meant to watch for the tired signs and put them to bed straight away - if u miss them than they can become overtired within 10mins and be really hard to settle!
This mothering stuff isn't as easy as they make it out too be!
