    hi everyone

    well we have had a terrible day today May was up at 5:30am and then catnapped and was really unsettled for most of the day hasnt slept any longer then 5-20mins finally went down around 5pm for a decent sleep and still sleeping now.
    i am not sure weather she has started teething as last 2 days has had this redish cheek(which last DD always gets when teething) and really trying to bite on anything she can get her hands on (which i know is also a usual thing for babies this age anyway) DS started teething same age and had teeth by 4 1/2 months so i know it can be possible.
    but then i am not sure if it is a growth spurt as she is feeding alot more then usual anyway so not 100% sure which one it is atm. Hopefully our night isnt the same as today.

    Quick question i know alot of you are breastfeeding but just wondering i have had one AF since having M which was last month and am due now well a little over due i think do you think it is normal for it to be abit late after first cycle back? as i have only had one normal cycle since giving birth.
    I guess i am just being to much of a worry wart as i am scared of getting pregnant again its not like we have dtd a whole lot and when we have we have been very careful as we are waiting for the snip to be done and Dp dosent have an appointment till next month earliest he could get we have been waiting 3 months now hopefully we dont have to wait to much longer after the appointment i cant wait till its done so i dont have to worry so much about falling pregnant again.
    i am hoping everytime i go the toilet AF will be here but not yet.
    ok enough babbling from me just needed to ask what you ladies think i cant remeber really after the others whether it was on time after first cycle etc.
    takecare and hope you are all having a great weekend

    hi all
    just a quick one as I have a ton of housework to do. Cap, after having A I had 1 period at 4 months and then didn't get another one until she dropped to 2 feeds a day at 12 months. Then I only had 2 which were about 35 days apart and then got preg with E. I wouldn't worry too much, I think if you're bfing they can come and go.

    Cap - With Tiana I was breastfeeding and they came back at about 10 weeks and then was regular. However I am sure that it wouldn't be uncommon for it to be out of sorts for a while. Maybe do a test to ease your mind. Stressing about it will hold it off longer!

    While on the subject - TMI Warning - The last 24 hours I have had blood tinged CM. Could this be the start of my period again? I thought the first one back was heavy and this is so far not developing into anything? Any ideas?

    Hi All

    I haven't had AF as of yet, but i think when they are "due" i get a tiny bit of spotting and that's all. It's happened 3 times since E was born. I got my chocolate craving back, so I think they may be "due" soon again too.

    Elijah has been sleeping pretty good at night, still waking for 1 but mostly 2 feeds during the night. He's kinda all over the place sleeping wise during the day too. Depending on what I'm doing during the day. He is drooling alot and sucking on anything that goes near his face. I have had to start putting bibs on him.

    I'm glad that the weather is warming up tho. Pitty the rain is spose to be coming back tomorrow. So I better go and get some washing done...hope you're all having a good weekend!

    Just a quickie from me. Our computer died so I've had to be computer-less til we got another one. Gee, I didn't realise how much I relied on having a computer, it's been a killer not having one!
    B's night sleeps have been up and down. He was going great, then started waking once or twice and needing resettling, then up to 3 times a night and waking for good at 4am, then back to sleeping for 10-11 hours, then last night he woke twice for resettling. He's wanting longer between day feeds too, and some days is having a 1.5-2.5hour sleep, though not every day. Apart from that, he's doing well - lots of drool and sucking too Sleepy! And yep, he's wearing a bib everywhere too!

    No AF here yet either...

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Hello quick one from me too, feeling bit yuck and have a fair bit of running around/phone calles etc to do for house today.

    No AF back here yet either, though I've had a couple of times I thought it might be making an appearance coz TMI there has been a bit of brown stuff on my undies or toilet paper when I wipe but that's it, back to nothing next time I check

    A is out of whack with her day sleeps and is just feral from about 6pm until I get her into bed at about 8.30pm, so now back on the sleep after two hours awake bandwagon starting today - it seemed to work really well for her so will try again for my own sanity if nothing else lol.

    Hope everyone is doing well
