I was a difficult child from about 6 weeks old. I just decided I didn't like people and wasn't going to do what I was told. Like at all my development checks, I'd pretend I didn't know what to do. With the shape sorters, I'd try the bricks in every hole but the right one, despite doing it right first time at home.

oooh forgot to say, pampers have brought a new nappy out called simply dry which seems like a pampers economy pack really, in tesco theyre selling carry packs for £3.50 for 32 for size 3's, and pampers have just sent out £2.50 off a pack vouchers so i got 3 packs of 32 nappies for £1 each! and the nappys do seem ok. so far anyway - havent had a poop in them yet, and i dont think i'd like to use them at night cos they do seem a little bit on the thin side.

Hi all.. I survived my first night! Got Rhys fed on time and even got some sleep myself He's pulled his tube out four times already this morning so I've definitely had the practice at putting it back in! :rolleyes: Consultant said everything is fine with him and we're just waiting for him to have his jabs now.

I'm at home now - Mum's sanding the walls and I'm supposed to be looking for light fittings online.. :whistle:

Yes it has, he's been seen by the child develpment team since he was about 2, was in speech therapy but just got signed off, is under the SENCO at school, but I'm not actually sure if anyone thinks there is a problem.
One doctor said he displays ADHD symptoms but I dont think he has.
He is to put it nicely, rubbish at throwing, kicking etc, but i think it's just because he's not been taught much.

He wont sit still, and He has little concentration skills, and I have to literally repeat myself numerous times for him to take in what i'm saying to him, which is really frustrating then I end up loosing my rag and shouting

I just feel a bit hopeless

Sounds like classic dyspraxia signs - you might find it worth asking your GP for a referal to have him assessed for dyspraxia. My friend has just done it and the change in her son since the assessment concluded he does suffer with it is incredible. His school can help him to learn differently and hes definately better off for it. What you are saying describes Josh before they changed his method of teaching perfectly - he even had speech therapy as well.

I was a problem child also and an even bigger problem adult.

I dont believe in doing anything I dont want to do, While I was in hospital before Cliodhna was born (for 3 months), I refused the blood tests, urine tests, temperature checks, Glucose test and every other test except scans and hearbeat at every opportunity. I did them all for 2 weeks then said enough. The midwives said I was the worst patient ever :rotfl:One actually said If i was her child she would put me over her knee.

I refused to wear the TED stockings on the basis I went walking every other hour, I wouldn't take the claxine (sp) injections at night, and only allowed one ventlon in my veins when I was bleeding, when they told me I needed 2.

I refused to go to theatre for an em. CS on 4 occasions, telling doctors I knew my body better than they did. I had read up on placenta previa to the point I was able to tell them plenty about it.

I just couldn't do as I was told :A

MrsM considering you were having random bleedings surely claxine would have been a bad idea anyway?!
I refused most blood test, some MWs talked to me like I was an arkward child for not having them but 'my' MW was really supportive and said she thought I had made a good decision as the likelihood of the blood tests picking anything up in my case was really low that it wasn't worth the stress to me and baby or the fact that my OH or Mum had to be there to look after me n Chris whenever I had blood taken!!


I've just come accros this and thought "oh joy"

This new survey also revealed a regional split. Breastfeeding mothers in London found themselves less likely to be challenged by other people in the same restaurant, for example, whereas the North-West (65 per cent) and West Midlands (63 per cent) were considered the most stressful areas to be a breastfeeding mother in terms of being abused or made to feel unwelcome.

MFD, Krystal et. al. you haven't had any problems in the mids. have you? I'm yet to venture into proper public feeding here in the NW

I refused the claxine on the basis I have a phobia of needles, when my consultant seen written in my notes that I had refused it, she told me I was right to refuse it as I would be depending on my blood clotting when I took a bleed. Turned out some weekend doctor signed me up for them and the nurses took turns in trying to convince me I neeed them till I got the consultant to write in bold letters I wasn't allowed them.

Also helped prove my theory that doctors dont know everything.

They had originally wanted blood tests every 2 days, which i said no way, I eventually compromised to 1 a week which was for getting a cross match for a transfusion if needed, and said they could use some of that blood for the tests they wanted to do.

I also refused to use the bedpan when bleeding, so they got a commode after lots of arguing

When I was badly constipated I insisted on inserting my own suppository, it seemed like a constant battle to be able to do things the way I wanted to.

I've never understood the cross match thing your blood isn't gonna change in terms of type in a couple of days, is it?
I couldn't use a bed either not while my legs still work!

Hi all,

Having one of 'those' days today, I am sooo tired! Why is it you think you have something cracked and then its like someone notices and goes erm no your having far too easy - take that! Sorry for little rant sometimes just feels as if Im going backwards it really does!

Lexi has pretty much done nothing but scream for 36 hours with little catnaps here and there just to build up her energy reserves! She was a little madam yesterday afternoon when I went shopping. We had nothing in the cupboards so we needed the works! She screamed all the way round and I ended up carrying her with one arm and pushing ever increasing trolley (one of the stupid ones that doesnt go where you push it with space for the car seat on top) with the other. Joshua was also being a horror bag, well I guess he wasnt but he kept getting under my feet and just generally being a pain in the butt! :rolleyes:

Ive just got her down anyway so Im being a selfish mummy and having five minutes to myself! When she had her last 20 minute nap I did a few bits in the kitchen and some washing! Then I took her to the bathroom with me so I could bath my hounds! Now the bathroom needs cleaning!

Thank goodness its Friday tomorrow, I dont think I can cope with anything else going wrong this week! New windows we had fitted in January leaking, new bed we bought in December broken, the new oven we bought in January a death trap! Oh the joy!

Hope everyone else is having a good day! xxx
