    After DS1 I had a bleed around 6 weeks, a couple of weeks after any other bleeding, and the dr thought it might be my period. I didn't get another one for over a year though. Maybe you will be the same?
    Enjoy mother's group. I might have to join one this time round, my mum's exercise group is all over now as the PT who ran it is moving away. I am very sad. No more social exercise classes... I may never get that 6 pack back after all.

    Hi all,

    It's been so quiet in here... Most of my Belly Buddies are in May 1-15th group but i'd feel weird jumping in there when Amelie is almost a month younger than most babies there.

    We are going good. Milly had her 4-5 week check up last week and was 4.2kg and 56cm. They found she has an umbilical granuloma, which is a bit of raw tissue in her belly button that needs to be treated. It's not causing any real problems but it's a real pain to keep having to go back to the doctors every few days for a few weeks.

    Sleeping and feeding is going well. She usually goes down at 8pm for the night and wakes at about 1, 5 and 9 for feeds. Give or take an hour or so. She is having one bottle of formula per day as I'm finding towards the evening my supply isn't satisfying her, so we now give her a bottle before "bed". It's working really well. She is satisfied all her other feeds though, so that's great.

    kaydee glad to hear amelie is growing well. sorry to hear about the granuloma, hope it fixes itself soon so you dont have to run around too much more. glad to hear that you have sleeping and eating down to an art, will definately be helping her to feel good during the day.

    well turns out im bleeding again because i have a bit of membrane still left behind, so my body is trying to get rid of it. but its nothing to worry about as long as i dont show signs of infection or heavy bleeding. but it is settling again...

    i also think i might have thrush in my nipples, as i have started having a throbbing pain in the deeper breast tissue, which makes my breasts feel like when the milk first came in, it feels like its gone hard but it hasnt. and have started having pain in both when feeding. so i have started putting drops into william and smearing some on my nipples. lets hope thats what it is and that after it clears up bf is going to be much easier.

    Oh goodness, i hope it all clears up for you with no problems. How did they find out about the bleeding, did you have an ultrasound?

    I have my check-up next week. So I hope everything is good.

    Had the midwife here for the last time yesterday. Milly is 4360g. Her granuloma is shrinking, so that's great.
    DH is back from China today, he was gone for 2 weeks. I was so nervous about being alone with the two kids, but I think It was so great for my confidence. It wasn't so bad. I had a million appointments to go to, so that kept me busy. It was just a PITA to have to cook for only 2 people, one being a picky 5 year old.

    Milly is growing out of her size 56 (0000?) clothes so fast and now wears mostly 62 (000?). It's kinda sad putting all her small clothes in the "too small" box, but then I just think that she can keep all of the pretty stuff for her dolls
