The health visiter has passed on my details to the lady at our local surestart centre, apparently someone will be popping over sometime to have a chat about what groups i can go to etc-im looking forward to that.

The massage course sounds good, will help me bond with Elliot even more i think and help relax him.

I didnt really chat to anyone at the parent/antenatal classes-no one seemed interested and rushed out afterwards!! typical lol.

The surestart centre is based at the nursery i hope to take elliot to-so maybe ill meet some moms who'll also be taking their children there?

keely.

ps-just as i was feeling more positive, ive read some bad news on a different baby site-a couple who have lost their baby just hours after she was born via an emergency c-section... that set me off...made me feel bad about how im feeling right now too. puts it into perspective. such sad news, i dont know how they are coping. x x

Its probably me just being silly and hormones still playing me up! I just feel really alone right now, really cant wait to get going to some mother and baby groups or something.

I already miss hugging my hubby so much, we were very touchy feely and hugy before-dont have chance to really go near him now! but i know it'll take time to settle down properly. Im also fed up/frustrated about my body-cant wait for the stitches to completely heal etc and my boobs to stop leaking now.

typing one handed sorry!

Keely, we're the same person! I feel exactly the same! I went to the surestart centre while pregnant for yoga and they're fab, I've even made it back for a bf group last Friday which made me feel vaguely normal again!

I know what you mean about missing dh though, it's such a huge change, I find myself wishing her life away (as in to go faster) so that I can spend some time with him again!

Before I forget Happy Birthday Poppy!

Lots of *hugs* to the new mums - everyone is right, what you're feeling is so normal - we've all been there. Looking after a newborn is hard work, especially when you're in the house by yourself, and still not feeling great after the birth etc.

It does get easier (never easy, just easier LOL :rotfl: ). With relationships, yes they change a lot after a baby, and I've seen from my own experience how you need to make an effort to find time to spend together. The positive thing is, having a baby/babies together does bring you even closer and gives you that special bond - it is quite nice. :happyhear

Happy Birthday Poppy :T
Now what is it that all women like to hear? You don't look a day over 11months. You haven't changed a bit from last year? :eek: Have chocolate, cake, some wine and put your feet up :rolleyes: - it's your day, let mummy and daddy sort everything out for once! :rotfl:

Hi ive never actually posted id in here, so I hope its the right place. I need some advice on my 15 months old DS hitting himself and banging his head off the wall. He is actually hurting himself!
He seems to do it when he gets told off or me just simply saying 'no', I try and ignore him, dont make eye contact, walk away etc but its getting worse. My 3 year old DD never did this, so im a bit lost. Ive asked everyone else (grannies, dad etc) to ignore him when he does it. do you think this is the right approach?
