***April & May Mummy & Baby***

[Emma.b]

Well H woke at 3.30 been fed and is now refusing to give up wind, even though he's doing the classic wind smile and rolling his eyes. I've been at it for half hour so now OH is having a go. I wouldn't mind just popping him back to bed with a tad of gripe water but he's already cranky coz he's not pooped I don't really want to add trapped wind to that too :/

H only woke twice last night! At half 12 and then at 4! He woke again at 5 but he does that every morning without fail. We kick daddy out of bed and have cuddles and sleep till 7-8!

My mums off again today and my sister is coming around this morning I'm going to try and persuade them to go out for lunch

Hope everyone has a nice day x

V&B look how big she is now!! What a brilliant idea too, I wished I had thought of something like that :/

Well I didn't get Harrison's wind up last night, had no choice but to put him down and hope for the best. Turns out he was fine, he didn't wake up til 8.15 then we had snuggles in my bed til 9.30. He's had a feed, played under his baby gym and is now napping in his pram. Gonna wait for him to wake up then feed him and take him to the local duck park

***TMI Alert***

Ladies do you feel uncomfortable during/after sex? It's kinda just developed, when we first DTD after giving birth it was fine. But over the last few weeks its been feeling rather tender downstairs after sex, almost swollen but inside!? I'm well over due my smear test, was due it sept last year but I'd just found out I was pregnant. I've booked one for the 2nd and gonna have swabs done too I think, I've had bacterial vaginoses before but I can't remember how it felt, maybe it's that again?

Xxx

Right now I really hate being a mummy. It was always the one thing I wanted more than anything. I never expected it to be easy but this is a whole new level of hell. I had a few smiles when he woke up this morning and since then he has been grumpy which has turned into screaming and fighting me. I have marks where he has scratched me and pinched me. I know he's a baby, and this won't last forever but it seems nmt content baby is long gone. I'm not saying I don't get the odd happy time but it is long overshadowed by the bad times. I'm worried I am relying on an 'answer' from the doctor where there might not be one. I hate that all my baby does is scream at me. I hate that he doesn't want to nap so I get no time for myself. And I hate that I'm hating this experience cos I'll never get it back.

Sorry for the miserable post

Big hug Amy. Talk to your GP.
I know it sounds mad but have you considered osteopathy? With my first i was at my wits end so decided to try and it defo worked. With Mark i took him straight away.
There is a Cry-sis organisation as well if you want to check it out.

Libby is so beautiful!! Great piccies...good luck for your Dr appt...I really need to sort contraception out!! xx

Emma - My friend had BV and she didn't even know she had it...it was symptomless for her! Perhaps a trip to the Dr might be best? I've got to book a smear too....yikes! You'd think I wouldn't mind after labour, but I'm dreading it!

Amy - you poor love...this is such a difficult time for you - sending huge hugs. I've heard that cranial osteopathy (as knopk mentioned) can be good for stressed out babies...but I think I remember you perhaps already having a therapy like this?? How did the Drs appt go...?

I had a "nice" experience in the supermarket earlier...I've already mentioned (I think!) that I'm struggling to lose my baby tummy...its rock hard and quite high - typical c sect tummy (apparently??). A woman in the aisle behind me started coo-ing at JJ and asking his name / age etc etc...when I told her he was 4 months, she didn't believe me!! She said he must be at least 6 months and was far too cumbersome for a baby. She looked me up and down and said it's fine for me to over eat (I'm currently only fitting in a size 18 because of my baby belly) but it wasn't right for me to let my LO be the same. Turns out she is a retired MW...I walked away to her muttering something about "youngsters have no idea these days"!! (I'm 35 lol.) About 5 mins later, I ended up behind her on the cake/bread aisle - whilst she selected a cake, I walked up behind her and said quite loudly "a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" and walked away feeling smug xx

 

[AmyQ]

We did cranial osteopathy when he was about 6 weeks old. He has been asleep on me for the last hour which is something. I just hate that he has to exhaust himself screaming before he sleeps. The poor baby is clearly not happy with something. The doc is calling me after 4. I'm not afraid to tell her how bad I feel.

My parents don't feel there has been a big change in Evan's grumpiness but they don't have him all day. I can handle the odd screaming fit or refusal to nap but not nearly all the time and not seeming as content as he should be.

Chezza - being a mummy should be the most beautiful experience in the world. A baby doesn't care what you look like, doesn't need you to fit in your old jeans etc. Generally people that feel the need to comment are miserable and unhappy with themselves. Glad you got your revenge though, in my current state I'd have slapped her...

 

[knopk@]

This guy just went down after snoozing on me, as you can see he is covered with my top to trick him.
I think teething is to blame, he is.very irritable with it. I will put teething gel on tonight again and see if it makes a difference,.last night was actually ok
Libby is so scrummy, I really want a baby girl (slap some sense into me!)
Emma, my episiotomy scar is still bothering me sometimes and I have to be careful or i get a bit sore. I think worth checking out but might be just your body still getting back to normal.
I have full control of pelvic floor muscles but still have to take it easy

As madam didn't come out that way I'm ok.

I bought the next 2 sizes last week as I spotted them I love the set, the other 2 gro's have stars on OH likes her to wear stars to bed lol

Hugs Amy tell them exactly how you feel don't hold back!

Knopk! A little slap for now give it a few months and I'll tell you how ace girlies are

Chezza very restrained of you! Like your style though girl

Libby's just nodded off on me, will attempt to move her in a minute. Need a shower before I go to Doc's to freshen up down there

Oh Amy, hugs to you Hun. I can understand how you feel. When H was going through all his troubles and we didn't have clue what to do with him I often thought I hate being a mummy, I felt absolutely useless and extremely frustrated. It was nothing like how I imagined it should be it was so sad, and I was so stressed I wonder what i'd done. And I'll admit I even thought I shouldn't of had another baby, my life was easy and comfortable as it was. It was such a difficult time. Luckily my health visitor listened & I had my family to rely on. For me though the doctors were useless, so I'm glad you have a better doctor. And I hope they can figure out what's happening with little Evan. Hugs to you xxx

On a separate note H has finally been for a poop and it almost killed me to watch him struggle so much :'( it was awful. He cried so hard he lost his voice at one point and his face was soaked with tears. I had to rock him as he went. He's been twice now, he's worn himself out and is currently sleeping. Poor little mite

 

[vinandbella]

Emma does H have water? Might make it easier for him to go.

He use to when he was very windy as it would help to bring the wind up but since we changed his milk his wind hasn't been as bad so he's had less water. But after today I'll be upping his water intake.

I've had to resort to water with a drop of orange in today, I hope it will work through quicker. From tomorrow I'll be offering plain water in between feeds.

I never want to see him like this ever again

 

[vinandbella]

Coil in, never felt a thing but a bit period achy now.

OH has taken madam out for a walk with dogs in the carrier fx she falls asleep

I should go and prep dinner but can't be arsed!
