Katie, glad to hear that your issue with flying has been sorted out

Sherie, I like the way you’re describing it … sitting on rose thorns LOL I had to be on antibiotics and painkiller in the first two weeks, now it’s better but I dreaded thinking about having sex … how long did you wait last time?
William’s also cooing and smiling now … babies are so amazing, aren’t they
With baby making, I think I will agree with you. Although W is still my first baby, I felt sad of not being pregnant. I still had the linea nigra on my tummy, everytime I look at it, feel a bit melancholic … it reminds me of being pregnant, reminds me of all those kicking and squirming

Marydean, I had the same experience with W’s height, when they measure him in the clinic (less than 2 weeks) an increase of 2.5 cm. I think they do the measurement differently, just like Sherie said
Good to hear that your pelvis’ getting better.

Pregpan, which electric pump do you use, is it good? I just bought Medela Swing yesterday, was initially ambivalent between that and Avent
I went to the new mothers group the other day. I expected 4-5 people to show but there were 13 babies in there (two of them are twins). So cute to see that many babies in one room
Apparently W is the youngest, the oldest being 16 weeks. The average age in my group is 10-12 weeks, so hopefully this is the case in your group too (if you can only join in next month)

Eleven, thanks for the tips on massaging to get rid of the wind, will try that … I envy you, 7 hours of sleep … that’s really great!

Noni, Wow, three change of clothes!
Havent tried the shower myself, maybe I should give it a go considering everyone’s loving it! Hope you and DP are managing the circumstances well, at least a bit of extra days of help for you …

Artechim, thank you for compiling the September birth list for us! It’s nice to hear you’re spending some time with your mum and Will’s doing well. Hope everything goes well with your plan to move back

Cally, hope the lumps goes away. You’re doing great btw, with Katie’s weight gain. That usually makes me feel that our effort (of BF, coping with the pain, etc) has been rewarded.

Supa, hugs to you, how’re you feeling today. With bleeding, I had similar experience. The bleeding has subsided in the first week, but getting bright red again in the second week, and again in the third week. I passed blood clots as well (the size of my forefinger), I contacted my OB and he said that if the heavy bleeding & blood clots continues for several days … that’s the time I need to be worried. But if you’re concerned, definitely call your midwife! Are you doing more work or more tired than usual?

Welcome to Peta and Kaylee

Just went to the GP yesterday, LC pointed out that I had a blogged milk duct on my nipple which needed to be removed by the GP … I think that’s why W kept pulling off that side of the breast the other day.

In the last several days, I have been experiencing some terrible pain on my breasts (deep, sharp pain … like having hundreds of needles inside). Actually they suspected W had thrush but then was a bit unsure since I didn’t have any symptoms … so we discontinued the medication after 10 days or so. Now that I have the pain (and what a pain it is! I couldn’t sleep during the night), we both need to be on medication. I really hope the pain will go away shortly!
