For those of you who've got your paid parental leave sorted, have you already receives confirmation that he birth has been registered, or did you not need it?
they just signed the back of the centrelink form and i just handed that into centrelink, i had already done the application on the internet
That reminds me... I haven't registered his birth!!
I just filled out and signed the form
My c is still painful when I walk or bend to much. Yesterday Tea, DH and i did grocerries and bub pooped stinking the entire cereal isle so I stupidly decided to race back to the car and carry the capsule...killer pain :( Sux relying on DH or others to lift things and carry things for me so strengthening the muscles is gonna be awesome! Sounds like you gals are healing nicely:)
Well done on thinking of protection ladies...I cant believe im saying this but i can not wait to get some lovin from DH! I know!! Wt? Blame it on the hormones but no way i am going there. I think we are gonna use condoms cos we would like to have another baby in a year and a half. So zap thats it? You have done a awesome job making beautiful babies so you deserve a rest if thats what you have decided.
Bring on the baby bonus! Will be helpful thats forsure:) Have a fab night....I am typing one handed and bf! So bbl for personals.xo
I've been given a script for the mini pill, now just have to remember to get it filled!!
Finally have some free time!
Zap, last one here too. DH was going to get the snip all last year but obviously didn't get around to it! I did consider getting my tubes tied but I couldn't get away from the kids to stay in hospital for a night or two - by the time I could leave them I was already knocked up again lol
Curly, bummer the C-sect cut is sore :( Sucks when you have to rely on someone else to do your jobs.
You girls have just reminded me that I should register Erin! We have a crappy baby bonus here - it is $1250 and income tested so we only got about $1000 of it last time. I am too scared I will have to pay some back if I get it now so I will wait until tax time in March to claim it.
Erin had a weigh in today and she is now 4.7kg, up 200g from her birth weight. DD1 was sick today and it is hard managing a clingy sick toddler and a newborn. Fingers crossed that no one else catches it.
Re birth control - not sure what we are doing. Basically by the time we get to bed we are both too tired for any action anyway! I hate the first times after a baby. I don't get pregnant when breastfeeding, apparently until I night wean (hence Erin lol). But I am sure (mostly sure...) that Erin is the last so we will have to do something more permanent - and actually get around to doing it this time.
Hi to everyone else, hope all is going well (posts are on the previous page and I have a goldfish memory atm)
So DD has been attaching well (not feeding wonderfully but attaching well still) for the last 2 days. Until the most recent feed - I was expecting my right nipple to have fallen off when she finally finished :(
Tell me when it stops hurting so much again?!!
kimbles im hearin ya - i tried letting h sleep and letting her wake up on her own (which only made half an hours difference anyway) and she near ripped my nipples off... owwww theyre so sore! :(:(
i tried garlic again last night and she has been so unsettled, we had a crap night ... boooo ... im going to miss my garlic! her stomach sounds like a thunderstorm. mean mummy.
curly - that sucks your scar is still hurting, i hope it feels better soon, they gave me tummy exercises to do, did they give them to you as well?
i actually do want to dtd with dh also, but the thought of getting pregnant again scares me haha im not ready.. plus the bleeding is still here.
have a good day everyone
No exercises for me for the c but have a group exercise class in 4 weeks with other mums with c's. God help me...the thought of putting on tight exercise pants in public is a frightening thought post baby:) Poor h with the thunder storm tum. Hope you get to nap today Alish and recover after a boo night, so hard to function next day. I have been a nightmare with my DH past two nights...poor bugger, tired and grumpy!
Kimbles, yay for attaching better. I often wonder that too...when will the pain get less??!! Your doing great just your poor nips are victums right now!
Art, erin sounds like she is gaining weight lovely. Hope no one else catches the bug. Thats the catch when 1 does it spreads!!! Fingers crossed.x
Hi everyone I smell poopy pants...again:P, Catch u soon.x
Blerrgh! Was supposed to go to the denstist this morning to get a root canal finished, instead I'm off to the doctors as I (TMI warning) have the runs and a generally icky feeling stomach. So over feeling tired and drained and sick. Its hard to tell if my stomach is yuck because I'm not eating enough or if it's something worse. Hate it though. Whinge over :(
Kimbles, sucks about the runs. I had a decent bout the other day. I was at playgroup and a lady had just invited me for lunch and then left when it hit me - then I had to go to her house and pretend to be well. She made lunch - battered fish! Any idea how hard it is to eat greasy fish when your guts are rotten and you are trying not to puke? I got enough down to be polite and then left to spend the afternoon with my toilet.
Curly, I would be buying some track pants - this poor body just isn't up for tight pants. I have that apron of skin they talk about on all the fat shows! And I don't think it will get much better because all the stretch marks will stop the skin from shrinking - the best I can hope for is the loose puckered look :(
Alish, I will trade you - looks like E doesn't like it when I eat....CHOCOLATE!!! It isn't fair :crying:
So a minor case of gastro for me :(
I didn't realise that stretch marks would stop the skin going back - I'm stuffed, my tummy is entirely composed of stretch marks :(
Don't worry ladies I have an old leaather bag where my stomach used to be! After twins and a c section where I was stretched open with a rope (no joke) my skin is horrible! I still had an apron when nine months pg with Alessio!
zap - a rope WTF??????????
curly - that class sounds good, im not stepping anywhere near my gym! ill stick to my walks and in a few weeks i might try some sit ups or something.
i think im almost back to my pre pregnancy weight - well in my legs anyway, my stomach is a different story. flab city, its like this little saggy sump, looks terrible - oh to have the washboard stomach i used to have :rofl: not
h has been an angel today. slept all day. must be catching up on the sleep she didnt have yesterday/last night/this morning. champ. even i got an hour nap this arvo!
art - no way, i love my choccy!!!
kimbles hope you feel better soon, gastro is ****e
have a lovely weekend ladies!!
I can't remember who said something about waiting till March to apply for baby bonus but over here (WA) you have to claim it withing 14weeks so you might just want to check that.
I wish my baby just wanted to be held all day but no matter what I do, unless he is feeding or sleeping, he just screams. That seriously cannot be normal. I just don't know what to do anymore. It is not good for him to be screaming ~14hrs a day
Oh Damprye!
How is he feeding?
Could it be reflux?
When he sleeps does he seem peaceful or irritated?
What is his poo like?
It is really really tough when little ones are like that! I hope you find some answers.
Feeding is frustrating atm. He will come off the boob and act like he wants more, even when he has had so much that he ends up with a tummy ache and starts screaming with boob in his mouth and he'll still want to attach but screams. That is when feeding doesn't put him to sleep for more than a couple mins or until I detach him.
He has Zantec (?sp) for suspected reflux.
When he is asleep, he is like a little angel :)
His poos are normal booby fed poos and he does them fine. He is asleep now stirring a lil to poop but now waking and screaming to do so. He poops almost every nappy change
Dampyre, do you have a MCHN or Dr you could take him to? It doesn't sound normal to me, there must be something upsetting him :( I couldn't cope with that. It was me applying for baby bonus in March, but I am in NZ - we have the option of getting weekly payments straight away or lump sum at tax time.
Kimbles, depends on the extent of your stretch marks. Thin ones aren't too bad, but when they are a couple of centimeters wide...
Zap, OMG a rope! What on earth was that for? I have always been terrified of C-sections. I would take my 10 pound baby stretching me beyond repair anytime over being cut open.
My big kids are both puking today. It is DD's first ever spew bug, not bad going getting all the way to 2 years old.
ETA, Dampyre, that does sound like reflux. They want to feed and feed because it relieves the burn while they are feeding. I would be heading down to the Dr first chance I got :hug:
