Yay Sarah! I found internals during labour way worse than a pap. Don't stress let us know how you go!

[Lisa B]

Sarah - yes internals during labour were worse for me too

Scone - glad you had a better day. I've just gone back to the gym but havent used creche yet...first time mum separation anxiety !!

Jaki - definitely raise reflux if it doesnt settle. Ds had these symptoms and has just been diagnosed.

Kitty - yay for sometime to enjoy a tv program

Ferrals - my DS is a stinky farter and most people hand him back saying he needs a change...he never does

EM - I really would have thought your stitches were either disolvable or you would have gone home with clear instructions about getting them removed...don't blame yourself!

LMP - fantastic work with the weight loss. I don't have heaps to loose but I'm struggling despite going to the gym. Too many easter eggs haven't helped!!

Well had the paediatrician appointment yesterday, he was a bit old fashioned. He went on and on about breast / bottle nipple confusion which is what he thought my DS had. I had to keep bringing it back to weight loss, not being able to drink his usual quantities, discomfort at feeding and vomits. Although, I don't doubt that there is nipple confusion but felt this was a separate issue. It wasn't until I thought DS need a bit of a feed that I gave him some bottle and he refused the bottle and the paediatrician saw his reaction that he then immediately said reflux. We have gaviscon and zantac. I gave him some gaviscon yesterday afternoon and DS had a complete feed, went to sleep for 1.5 hours and then woke for another feed which was also a full volume! Overnight we have had one almost complete feed and another complete. Not getting my hopes too high yet as it might be a coincidence. He spat pretty much all of the zantac out. I will post in the reflux thread for some tips on administering it.

does panadol cause green poo?

[Arimeh]

does panadol cause green poo?

No that ive ever seen with mine, but formula does. It's bubs getting rid of the extra iron from it

[WeeMansMummy]

No idea kylz.

Lisa sounds like you've got a positive result from the gav. Are you able to put the zan it a bit of sugar water?

Had the worst day on earth yesterday. Well mostly bad in the arvo and evening. I still feel so out of sorts from it even tho we had a great night. I want to kill my husband. He really is a twat.

[ferrals5]

Sarah-the comdoms might sting because of the lube on them or you are reacting to the latex i hate useing them so we use the withdrawal method (when i stop bleeding) and as for the pap smear dont be scared if you have had kids then a pap is nothing other the uncomfortable embarrassment but try to get a female doctor it is so much better and please please make sure you get it done i think i said a few threads ago my friend from work didnt have a pap for 8 years and now is fighting cervical cancer when it could have been treated very early think of your kids when you go in there and just get it done it will be over with in no time and you will say to yourself that wasnt so bad.

Sconeonamission-Hope your results are all good.

Lisa- I mix ella's zantac with a touch of marinas infant mixture just before i give it to her and she takes it all because the infant mixture is peppermint flavour to but sweet so it tones down the bitterness of the zantac.
I also did the sugar water and that worked also just add a smidge of sugar to a smidge of boiled water (hot to disolve it) and mix in the zantac and bobs your uncle.

Jaki- about your hubby and sorry to here you had a bad day with wyatt i can handle the days if bubs are cranky its the nights that are the killer.

As for miss Ella and her needles well what a night woohoo! she slept from 4pm until 9:30 then went back to sleep until 4am with not a peep out of her until 6:30 when she got a little grizzly so got her up gave her panadole and she has been fine since.
THANK GOD! i was expecting a shocker of a night.

Has anyone had a D&C after having a baby for retained products i am hopeing to avoid it but as blood is still pouring out of me every time i go to the toilet i dont like my chances of avoiding it and after my horrible experience after my c section i really dont want anyone fooling around inside my uterus.

[ellasmummy]

Hope your results are all good Scone.
Ferrals that is worrying you are still bleeding do much when is your US?
Jak sorry to hear about your crap day, what's DH done? x
Kylz no idea about the panadol, but c randomly had green poo the other day, thought it must have been something I ate...
Lisa great news about the feeding!
Hi everyone else
AFM - you wouldn't believe it C slept from 9pm til 6.15am, and only because I accidently woke her up when I jumped out of bed and ran in to check on her when I woke up and saw the time. Thought something happened to her!! Mind you she didn't sleep all day, but hey can't win then all hehe. Poor bub is in so much pain after her feeds, and if laying flat or in the car. Can't wait for these meds, even though I've been told they're anywhere between $45-60 per month

[ferrals5]

Ellasmummy-My u/s is 10am monday morning but i wont get the results until tuesday unless the u/s tech is nice enough to tell me what she see's.

[KittyK]

ferrals: hope they can get to the source of the bleeding without the D&C. Just the word scares me. Good on Ella for having a great sleep even after needles. I hven't ever given Chase panadol, I should probably get ome for just in case now that I think about it.

EM: wooo now that is an excellent sleep from miss C. Chase has completely backtracked to waking up at 3am again. Hoping he goes back to sleeping till 6am once this week is over and the growth spurt he should be going through is done.

jaki: I'm with you on the DH's being twats. My DH has this annoying 20 year old friend who is having his 21st birthday this weekend and he rented an apartment down the coast. DH thinks he is going to stay down there friday and saturday night and go clubbing. I don't think so buddy. Told him he could go Friday night but should be home Saturday evening. The most annoying thing is that he is taking $150 just to waste on drinks and clubbing when I don't buy Chase the things I want to, nor do I have any clothes that aren't maternity. Selfish *****.

sarah: condoms burn and sting with me too, i don't think they ever used to but lately very stingy.

lisab: thats great news that the gaviscon is working

ali: same here [ap smears are a walk in the park compared to internals LOL

my cycles are all bloody messed up and now im annoyed. Got AF, I can handle that, but this last cycle only went for 18 days then I got AF again. Well im assuming it was AF but it only lasted 3-4days so now I'm confused. Was the 3-4 days really AF or was it just some random bleed and im still on the 1st cycle? Gah, was really hoping after the baby they would finally be normal.

I had morning tea with my friend who was sick at her wedding the one I went to a couple of weekends ago and she said looking back she thinks that what she was having on her wedding day was a miscarriage She was due for her period that day though, but the painful cramping and excessive bleeding wasn't normal, nor was the clots that she passed in the couple of days. Makes me sad even to think that she might of had a miscarriage, they really want a 2nd baby so badly.

You tell him! Last time my DH went out on the goldie he spend $700 in one night, WTF ON???

[KittyK]

jaki holy sheet $700???? LOL lucky DH has no access to that much money lol. So annoying, you know by the end of this week he will only have spent 3 days out of 7 having quality time with me and Chase?? I'm so disappointed in him. Of course when i tell him that im just a biatch *sarcasm* wish someone would tell him he is being a tosser, he doesn't believe me when I tell him.

[WeeMansMummy]

Strippers and booze. Like a kid in a fricken candy store! He had a childhood kidney disease and shouldn't drink so he couldn't walk or function properly for days, totally ruined our holiday. Altho as pay back I went to robina the next day alone and spent $700

[Lisa B]

Ferrals - I hope the u/s can identify something simple to stop the bleeding and I hope you don't have to wait to long for the results, there's nothing worse.

Kitty - terrible news about your friend. I don't blame you for wanting to give your DH a kick up the pants. Every time my DP mentions the vague possibility of going away for work I give an unpleasant sideways glance...and that's for work and not spending extra cash.

Administering the zantac is not giving us much joy at the moment. Was totally frustrated last night as I'm sure he didn't swallow a drop of it. Will try Ferrals method later today. Feeling pretty tired but think I will drag my tired backside to the gym at 6am before DP goes to work. I can't sleep during the day and DS usually only catnaps anyway so I would only get 30 mins here and there if I did.

[ferrals5]

Your not going to believe it after seeing the doctor and making the u/s appointment my bleeding stopped in it's tracks last night which is great but now i feel stupid for mentioning it to the doctor.I wont cancel my u/s appointment just incase it starts up again friggen stupid body what are you doing.

Ella was a bit unsettled last night with belly pain and runny poo's i am asumeing it is from the needles the book said bubs can be grizzly and have runny poop for a few days from the rota virus needle so i just laid her on her belly on her heat pack and she slept til 3am i was a little worried being on her belly and with a heat pack i kept checking her to make sure she wasnt overheated so i didnt get much sleep even though i have the angel care breathing monitor i still worried with her on her tummy.

Lisa-DH dropped our bottle of marina's infant formula that i use to mix with the zantac so ella got her dose with the sugar water and she took it no worries so i hope it at least helps get some of it in your little man.

[Lisa B]

Ferrals - don't you love how our bodies work!! I would keep the appointment to if it was me. You're a STAR the sugar water trick worked, thanks so much. We got most of the liquid down and he actually enjoyed the first syringe full and got cranky with the last syringe. Maybe the zantac sank to the bottom so I will give it a bit more of stir next time.

Do you have a medicine dummy? Wyatt loves it. But he is a dummy boy

[Beautiful Disaster]

Jayden loves his too. BUT DONT PUT IT IN THE STERILISER lol
I melted mine and had to buy another one.

[ferrals5]

Lisa-its good isnt it the sugar just takes away the bitterness of the zantac glad it helped.

AFM-Friggen bleeding started again
