TMI Warning....
Missawah, it sounds like you might have a hemorrhoid? (spg?) Can happen as a result of the pushing stage, or from constipation/straining in the weeks after giving birth. Or some people are just unlucky enough to just get them. I couldn't believe that I didn't have any 'injuries' from my birth, but within 2 weeks had a really annoying hemorrhoid (sorry I did warn you all about tmi) A good friend of mine who is regular sufferer sent me to the chemist and I got some cream that helped immensely. I also took metamucil daily to keep up the fibre. Might not be what's wrong in your case, but could well be? Good luck, it's awful

b, I've found the book really helpful because it's a really relaxed approach, and she gives you guidelines and suggestions but you really have to put together what works best for your own situation. She refers to co-sleepers alot too and if I remember correctly you cosleep with DS don't you?

Welcome Berry too - sorry I forgot to say hi and welcome to the group

Nat I hope you're feeling better down there really soon....nothing worse really is there!
