Hi everyone Sookie - that sounds really scary :hug: :hug: hpe you are ok, and good luck when you test again! rom - :shock: I absolutely cannot imagine being preggers while looking after a baby!! I am knackered as it is!! Mind you I have gone from saying I will never have another because of...

OK - we'll sort something out! :D

I can do any of those dates I think!! :D ( I love being on mat leave!!!!) so I haven't voted. V - happy to share lifts but I would probably want to take the pram so I'm not carrying baby all the time, and it takes up our whole boot :?

I didn't have colic or reflux to deal with but my LOs weight wasn't going up, no matter how often I fed him or expressed milk - and believe me i tried!! I was getting very sressed and run down too. Last week I decided to switch to giving some formula and some breast - and i haven't looked back...

Megabus!!!!???

I'd be up for a meet too! I'm just outside Edinburgh. Can I say let's NOT go to Deep Sea World this time - it is really not worth the money!! I haven't been out much with baby yet so I don't know the good places to go, but will have a think!!

I sympathise! Had to buy jeans today as fed up wearing the same stretchy black trousers al of the time. I've been trying on my pre preg jeans but basically not a chance of them going over my thighs. I had to buy 2 sizes up from my normal :oops: :oops: I need to start exercising too. And stop...

With my recent experience i have to say I feel a bit let down by the "support" I have had from midwives, health visitors etc. The lack of consistency in advice has been amazing. Ultimately I was told I am not producing enough milk and was given a ridiculous feeding/expressing regime to follow...

Hi all! Glad to see everyone is doing well. Cute baby pics ladies! :D And bumps!! We haven't taken any pics of Kian this week as he has had bad baby acne :( it's looking a bit better now though. Sorry I haven't been on this thread much but I have been reading all your posts. I have had a...

just wanted to say i'm in exactly the same boat can't give you advice as i don't know what to do myself just wanted to let you know you're not the only one! :hug: :hug:

Well now I am totally confused. The Bfing advisor has just been. Apparently when she said feed every 2 hours she meant wait 2 hours from the end of each feed. I was timing 2 hours from the start :evil: When I was in hospital i asked whether times were from the start or the end and I was told...

Thanks :hug: :hug: Yes V, we have the Tommee tippee bottles that are supposed to be like nipples. Unfortunately I have to get him weighed on Thursday, health visitor is expecting him. I know you said i can refuse but I'll find out on Thursday how often they would envisage him being weighed...

Well I have had a good think and a talk with DH. The priority at the moment is to get LO big and strong enough that he can feed for longer / take more on. That's not happening just now because he isn't getting enough from me. I am so tired /stressed it's not good for either of us, and I would...

Well I took him to the health centre ad weighed him - he's only put on 30g since thursday. To be honest at the moment it doesn't seem worth this horrendous regime - which is what it is. I rang the health visitor number and someone phoned me back, but she obviously can't say when/if it will all...

I'm using a Medela electric pump that the health visitor loaned to me. I have a manual one of my own, but that would be hard going every feed! I've decided to just get up at 3am instead of 2 and 4 - unless of course he is letting me know he's hungry.

Hello Sorry I still havent had time to post a proper reply on here, and thanks for your PM chelsea - I will reply asap. I don't think it's going too well. I have stuck to the 2 hour thing as far as i could. Through the night I tend to miss one (last night I think it was 2 but not consecutive...

I had stringy bits too! I was told you only need worry if you pass clots bigger than a 50p piece.

Thanks so much for all your lovely replies :hug: :hug: I need to find a moment to read them all again and think about things - not going to happen tonight as I am so tired!! I reckon in the last 24 hours I have slept for a total of 2 (and that is a generous estimate!) and it's starting to...

I'll be going back to work mid-August so I was planning to have stopped by then. I thought that would be a reasonable length of time but I seriously doubt now that I will last that long!! I don't know why I am so hesitant to ring up a support line :? I think I'm just wary of getting another...

Thanks for your replies girls :hug: :hug: I will try and remember the points I was going to answer! He has been checked for tongue-tie. And the adviser woman looked at how he was latching on yesterday. She said it was ok but could be better? And said when he gets bigger and has more energy...
