DW Jas has only just started pooing properly today after 2 days of no movement - midwife said it wasn't a concern.

Will do a proper update later ladies x

Mine is the same babybee!!! I thought that about ignoring the crying but I just can't do it!!! Love spot the baby x

 

[babybee]

Yay Abi!!!

Diane, I can't ignore it either, she sounds so sad and I just want to cuddle her. I don't know if I should do it either. I wanted to take her for a walk in the park but its so cold and windy I thought if stay inside (my mums advice).

My mums coming round with my two aunties. Ill let them babysit for a bit, I can finish off the housework and get in a little nap.

Good luck Diane, if you find a miracle cure, pleeeease let me know!

Was anybody else really emotional when home from hospital? I haven't gone a day without getting upset and properly dreading out about chris going back to work. Most of the time I'm ok but I just keep having these horrible moments! Hope it stops soon! X

Yeah chris going back to work. And she settles better for him so just really worried that I won't cope when he's not here. Ive relied on him so much now it's scaring me! X

 

[babybee]

So totally normal Nicky don't you worry! Just let all the tears out, it's a great release. I was teary for pretty much the first 3 weeks. It's the baby blues!
Xxx

 

[babybee]

And I found the same with my OH. You find a way of coping, though the first day I spent it in the living room, I literally only left it to go to the toilet and get myself some food! Then the same the second day and by the third I had gotten into somewhat of a pattern but still based around her!

Are you breastfeeding by any chance?

 

[nicky1987]

Thank god for that! I'm worrying chris! He's really upset about going back to work - he's loved every minute of being off but it's upsetting him knowing I am scared about being on my own!!

He says I have nothing to worry about - its the fact she doesn't always settle for me that's worrying me! Or what if I'm not well and can't feed her.

So hoping this is normal stuff!! X

 

[babybee]

It's completely normal! I worry about everything all the time but the more you do things yourself the more confident you get. Then your OH just gets in the way! Also if anyone offers to help - mum etc, def take them up on the offer. Also don't try and be supermum, dirty clothes and tidying can wait!

You'll be fine lovey, I use this forum to reassure myself I'm not a terrible mother.

Did you have a nice Mother's Day?xxx

 

[diane]

Don't worry Nicky I think we all felt this when los were first born!! I cried everyday and was so worried about Paul going back to work cos I was so ill that he did everything for skyler; but you can do it hun, just take it day by day and just think, Chris will be home eventually! I had to literally count the hours lol, but the days do actually go fast I find!

 

[nicky1987]

Yeah I'm breastfeeding. Sometimes she won't latch on straight away and it stresses me out that there's something wrong!

Chris says I'm doing absolutely fine with her and I'm worrying over nothing!! I'm just scared I won't be able to look after her properly while he's at work! X

 

[babybee]

I was going to say that breastfeeding is so handy when they won't settle! Once she's latched on, she'll suck and then snooze and you'll have a bit of you time!

Also I found getting the latch quite difficult and painful at first, but it gets better. Make sure you stock up on the lansinoh nipple cream, it helps a lot! Then you won't need it after a while! Also I stressed so much she wasn't getting enough at first but she's gaining weight etc so I'm chilling about that now.

You're a great mummy Nicky!

 

[nicky1987]

Got the cream and it is helping!

Just had another cry - starting to drive me mad now cos I should be so happy! Most if the time I am I just keep getting these moments and I properly freak myself out! X

 

[babybee]

Omg does anyone else have their evenings and days packed up with visitors upon visitors? It's getting ridiculous! This past two weeks we've had people round every single evening! I particularly hate the flaky ones who text at the time they should get there saying 'hey, running 30 mins late.x' well then go home as my baby is already grizzly and I'm knackered! One even said 'what are we eating?' Before I had the baby I always made sure visitors had food etc but that was because they came once a week max. Now noway am I going to provide snacks for them!

Rant over. Sorry ladies!xxx

 

[babybee]

Just keep crying when you need too. I felt so much better after a good cry!

 

[nicky1987]

I do feel better after a cry and a bit of reassurance off chris but then it catches up with me again a few hours later!!

I'm guessing its normal to just feel scared and find it hard to adjust?

 

[Sassyjane]

Well ladies we are at the hospital waiting for CJ to be assessed! Dr thinks he has jaundice again and is checking him! On the upside he now weighs 8lb exactly! They said he might be being sick because he is taking too much milk!!!

Tris left me about 15 mins ago to go to work so on my own til mil gets here!!!!

I have thrush in my wound, great stuff, so got cream for it!!! Xx
