Feelie, have you ever heard of cranial osteopathy for babies? A lot of people have found it really beneficial for feeding.

Glam, just for you BFAR (breastfeeding after reduction) ignore the picture on this link, it's an awful demonstration of positioning!...

U r a star - I shall add you to my fountain of all knowledge list along with Sami and MrsT. You are all full of useful information which has made my life a lot easier!

If it wasn't for MrsT I wouldn't have realised that I had to get work to agree to me carrying leave over into next year to tag onto my mat leave - fortunately they agreed!

I will try and find some time to read thru that website later on over the weekend. I also need to contact my BF co-ordinator to see what she knows.

I've not really got an opinion on BF and FF with this being my first - I would love to BF because of the benefits to baby and my purse but I may physically not be able to so wouldn't have a choice. Damn these boobs!!

OMG - I never knew Braxton Hicks could be so painful!

Everynight is agony for about seven times and around 5 minutes each time. Owwwwwwwwwwww

Ickle I still haven't had any BH I'm feeling left out now...
I just can't wait for this baby to come out I really can't... Think I might need to stop off later and buy pineapples... LOL

Tine, believe me - you aren't missing anything! I have never broken legs etc so no idea what my pain threshold is but this is very painful esp when trying not to pee myself at the same time.

Morning ladies,
I tortured myself about this all night last night and then this morning decided to bite the bullet and see the doctor who was lovely and has signed me off for 2 weeks initially and said if I need it extended then to just let them know and it'll be done, I still kind of hate myself for being off but the relief is unbelievable...
It'll be good to focus on just me and bellybean instead of this nightmare at work all day and night....thankyou all for the hugs and advice yesterday, I just needed to get it out of my head....

Good for you - just relax, make the most of the weather and spend lots of time stroking jellybean! Remember - Happy Mum = Happy Baby

I am trying to get OH more involved with Bean so last night I told him some of the things you girls do like naked cuddles and putting Bean up his t-shirt for a bit! All he wants to do is crack on with Perineum Massage :rotfl:

HypnoNu - as someone who ended up signed off for quite a while I know what you mean - I didn't WANT to be off sick - I wanted to be allowed to get on with my job but work made it so difficult to work round the problems I was having that in the end I gave up and asked to be signed off... They could have had about another 7-8 weeks work out of me if they had only been more accomodating and less narky about things... But noooooooooooooooo - they had to get difficult and refuse to let me work from home - which btw was never a problem before I got pregnant and isn't a problem for anyone else in the team either... dafties...
Anyway - don't feel guilty about it... if the doctor doesn't feel you should be off sick then they wouldn't sign you off so enjoy the peace and quiet

Do work really have to let you carry holidays over. my company has always made it really clear that hols have to be used before the end of march or they will be lost, and we cant take them until we have accrued them so i thought i would have to lose 2 weeks holiday.

Sami - could you save the old covers for your HB, i was planning on saving all old towels and bedding for mine.

Hypno - sorry to hear about your work troubles, but glad to hear your GP is on board!

mooki - happy news that you and your DH have cleared the air! Sometimes it just takes a really huge fight/breakdown for all parties to see they're being silly and resolve things.


This week is going to seem soooooooooooooo long, as it's the 1st 5-day week for me in quite awhile! (with holidays & bank holidays and all) Glad May BH is so soon!!
