Billy: I had a slight bladder prolapse after i had Archie. I was really really worried as i was reading all sorts of terrible things about needing surgery and even hysterectomies for prolapses!!! It was caused from him being fully engaged from 24 weeks onwards and the fact that he was over 4kgs. Apparently babies over 4kgs increase the chance hugely. Anyhoo, i went to see a physio that specializes in women's health who gave me exercises to do and within two weeks of doing these exercises it has all fixed itself up and things are pretty much back to normal! THANK GOODNESS! I was soo stressed about it! I later found out that the same thing happened to my mum and one of my sisters and my midwife said about 75% of women have this happen and it fixes itself before half of them even notice. So here i was thinking i was the only one and that something was seriously wrong with me! So i think as long as you do your PFE (and do them PROPERLY) then you'll be right. And think of all those women who have HUGE families.. surely they don't all have prolapses? It can run in families though.. something to do with the muscles.
As for the bleeding, i haven't really been doing too much at all! Just the ususal housework and stuff. I dunno what is going on! I have my 6 week check next week so i'll ask the Doc. Hope you and your beautiful kids are well

Alison: Thats great the 6 week check went so well. It is sooo amazing how fast they grow! My friends bub is 6 months old and i can't get over how much they change in such a short time! They go from little pip squeaks like ours to very "toddler looking" bubs in a matter of six months! It's amazing!
The pony is going to Qld as it's owner moved there just after we started the lease. She is a riding instructor now and wants to use him as one of her school horses. She also has an 8 year old son who will ride him too. I wish you could buy him for her too!! haha! But $14,000!!!?????? Hmmmmm... He is worth it though, if i had the money i'd buy him in a heartbeat.. when your child's safety is at stake you'd pay anything. Ponies generally live a bit longer than horses.. i don't really know why. One of the ponies Brit learned to ride on had to be put down last year due to cancer of the penis... he was 43 and still ridden every second day!!!! The more you ride them the longer they seem to live. Our old girl is blind in one eye and almost blind in the other which is very sad as she is a great pony otherwise. You wouldn't know by looking at her that she is almost 32!! But she gets sooo much love and affection by Brit and I think that makes a huge difference.
I will never lease another pony for her as it is too heartbreaking when they have to go back. I'll save up the dosh and buy her something she can keep forever.

JD'smum: Sorry to hear about your mastitis... sounds like ours is a bit worse than mine was. I caught mine at the beginning and got to the Dr as soon as i could. She said i was really lucky that i came when i did because it gets really bad really quickly. It's good that you've started the antibiotics, it should clear up pretty fast now. The fever that your describing sounds like it is from the mastitis... I really hope you start to feel better soon

Hello everyone else!

Crikey i've rambled a bit haven't i???
I'v had a better day today.. took Brit down to my best mates farm where there is heaps to distract her from her sadness.. She is about to have a ride on her pony now and i'll walk with her then she'll go off to my sister's for a sleepover. Archie has been really good all day too.. Might get a chance to spend some quality time with my husband tonight!!! Might try to get myself knocked up

Have a great night ladies x x x
