MSE Parent Club - Part 2

SeptemberBaby_2

So sorry to hear your news, Bailey. Lots of hugs.

Diesel, thank you for the passport photo info. I now have two lovely pics that I don't mind lasting 5 years!

Hi r.mac! Hope all is well with your pushup baby!

Well done, Oz! Nad, you must be over the moon!

Ladybird, my two are familiar with Cbeebies and it certainly has its place when I need to get something done!

Good to have you back, Agutka, and glad all went well!

Yay to no placenta, MFD and well done on your multi tasking! I wasn't too worried about folding the Birth Cert (as I got two of the big ones too ) but I was worried about it being posted back as I had visions of it going astray! I'm also a peg short of a washing line :rotfl:. And I have a particular way of hanging baby clothes on the maiden .

Swearing - neither of our familes swear so I don't know what I will do if/when one of mine utters one!

Well done, Elliot on the rolling! You must be really proud, Keely!

Weezl, :rotfl: at PMSDPA!

thanks for all the welcomes. i loved the pace of the pregnancy thread but no way i could keep up with that pace now, as you said, we have no time.

i am not BF, much to my disappointment and upset. i had told myself when pregnany i wouldn't beat myself up about it if i couldnt do it, but i really have done. i didn't realise how much it would upset me. unfortunately the hosptial wasn't brilliant in helping and i got so scared that my daughter would be soooooooooooo hungry (after feeding her in hospital, thinking she was getting enough, only to have her crying so much cause she was hungry and see her gulp down a feed that the midwives gave her)

i am experiencing colic, a baby who doesn't like to sleep during the day so gets sooooooooooooooooo tired and then screams her pretty little head for hours...

but as i said, i love her to pieces and woudn't change her for the world

oh, and i thought i was a crier before i had her, i think i must cry every few days

Hi AF, sorry the BFing didn't go as planned. Lots of hugs.

Jamie was an extremely colicy baby for the first few weeks until the HV recommended Colief and we had a new baby after just a few days! He's being weened off it now but it really worked for him. Its £10 for a tiny bottle :eek: but also available on prescription.

***no medical advice just own experience ***

Hi AF - sounds like you have your hands full there It definitely gets easier as you go on!

On the subject of bumps, this was me a week before Charlotte was born. I was only 35 weeks pregnant!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/becles/DSC00067.jpg

She was a big baby - 7lb 3oz on arrival at 36 weeks, and I had polyhydramnious which is way too much amniotic fluid.

To give you an idea of scale, I was a clothing size 12-14 pre-pregnancy, and that's a size 18 maternity top that I'm almost bursting out of!

Here is me at just short of 37 weeks

Maybe I'm not so massive now after all I should get DH to take a sideways shot of me now for comparison.

pregnancy or parenting club?! lol......

on the subject of breast pads, I used these:



mostly for the same cost-cutting and greenish reasons as using the reusable nappies, as they've a cotton top they were softer next to skin than the disposables, and like a cotton nappy, they let you know when they need swapping more frequently which is better for cracked nipples and for not getting on your top!

On a different note....

I've worked out my new post baby food shopping budget now, so I'll go tell 'em over on old-style. It's a wee bit different from the 50p a day each that me and DH managed on before!

sorry, forgot to say that for anyone living in Wales, or possibly interested in baby/child learning Welsh even if living elsewhere...there's an organisation that do a free Welsh nursery rhyme cd + some baby phrases the email address is: twf@cwmni-iaith.com

You need to include your home address so that they can send you the CD.

Not of interest to loads of you I'm sure, but perhaps we have a Welsh lurker or 2?
