Just wondered if your body ever gets used to being so tired, obviously my LO is still very little and I am generally up 3-4 times a night, unfortunately he is also very colicky/has reflux and it can take hours to settle him after a feed, which obviously adds to the exhaustion, and more recently...

I just wondered how long it took you to recover from your C-Section? I had mine just over a month ago now, after 2 weeks I went out to meet some friends for lunch and also spent an hour shopping, after 3 weeks me and DH started having sex again, and at 4 weeks I have been signed off by the...

LO alas is now bottle fed due to boobie problems :( He has been thriving on the bottle, and was feeding every 3-4 hours and taking beween 3-4oz at each feed. However over the last couple of days he wants feeding the moment he wakes up even if his last bottle was only an hour before, and...

Well I have my pre "c-section" check appointment, at 10am this morning.....!! Im not quite sure what happens, but am hoping I might get to meet the Consultant, and Im guessing they take some bloods, do a scan etc and make sure Im fit and well for the op on Fri, but really have no idea!! It...

Exactly as the title reads, just wondered how long you actually stayed in hospital after having a c-section. Im trying to work out how long I might be in there for and how many outfits LO will need! Many Thanks

I have just found out that my Uncle died on Wed - found out a little late as my father is in India on his jollies at the moment!! We were not really that close, but of course its very sad - he was a lovely man. What Im finding totally ironic is his funeral is next Fri morning, so as all my...

Right ladies I really need your help, we have been set on the name Jack Devon (Narracott is the surname) for months now, until we read in the paper the other day that Jack is the most popular name in 2007 and 2008 in the UK..... SO we are now considering Devon Jack instead to make it a little...

Its funny as I have spent the last couple of months reading about other mums to be in the last few weeks of pregnancy, and the discomfort they were experiencing - I used to wonder if it was really all that bad.........well I can officially now say NO ITS WORSE THAN I EVER EXPECTED...
