    Yeah right :rolleyes:



    My knickers aren't big enough to iron ;):D

    Get you - kate moss! :D



    Tara - she is pretty random!! She uses her (some handheld device) for facebook - are you her friend?

    But if you say what's going on there is a fair bit of BF'ing experience knocking around at any time. We may be able to provide a bit of advice in the meantime.

    Tara - lots of us have struggled! Krystal pops on all the time, but if she's not here, we'll do our best!

    tara, not something you'll find at this time of night in 24hr Tesco, but these are what they use in the hospital when mums don't want to use bottles but baby isn't able to breastfeed.

    First time we did it - i'd waited til nothing hurt anymore and i'd stopped bleeding (about 8 weeks), but in my mind at that time i wanted to have another one! (Is that just me!!) OH on the other hand was cautious! But my feelings of wanting another one right now have worn off now, so god knows how i'd feel if i'd got caught!

    For now, its back to being careful. I'm not allowed (medically) anything hormonal (pill, depo etc), I can't stand condoms - we're currently discussing sterilisation.

    For the five years before we chose to have a baby - we used the good old catholic method! It worked for us. :D

    Was nearly 6 months after Jasmine was born before we had sex again, but that was mainly because Chris was in hospital for 3 of them !!
    This time, it will be around 6 weeks as I have just stopped bleeding yesterday and that is 5 weeks.
    I have never been a fan of condoms, and I have 2 children thanks to the pill :rotfl:, so this time, I am going for the implant. Had thought of the snip for Chris, but even though we are fairly confident we dont want anymore, I am only 27 and he is 31, so we feel we are too young to make that decision just yet

    sounds painful :o
    So far we havent done much this summer, been swimming, well Jasmine was, I watched !!, went to the amusements, and have done loads of walking !!
    Am driving again now, so should be able to do loads more, and bought a tent :D

    Other than the pain, hows things with you ??

    Tent sounds cool, hope the rain stops for you.

    We watched the Red Arrows in Lyme Regis tonight, but Ben and Erin only got back from camping with their big sister at 4pm so they haven't been home for a few days. It seems Ben has been a brat which is very unusual, I had a chat when he got back and he said he wanted to stay with me so I think he may be struggling with the changes. He wasn't just naughty he seems to have put her OH off having kids. :o
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    can I just ask... because I don't get this... if you have just gone through the pain of labour etc WHY do you guys risk getting pregnant again? (not to anyone in particular, but there have been loads it appears who have not taken precautions before pills kicking in etc) or at least so soon! 8+ weeks and hubby hasn't been near me yet lol - partially because I want to make sure everything is healed but also because I do not under any circumstance want to risk another baby so soon :confused:


    This really shocks me!! When you were pregnant you were super-keen IYKWIM ;)

    As soon as my bleeding stopped I jumped hubby - it had been too long since there had been any unbridled passion in the MFD household!! I couldn't wait :D


    Edit - the pain of labour etc would not put me off getting pregnant again.

    i think its the excitement of being able to move and have sex again that is enjoyable and not to get labour started:rotfl: Just wanting to feel like a woman for 5 mins and not a mum is my answer Mrs T, we have a high sex drive and most times i have fell preg i have been on something or another. i have 13/14 months between my oldest 2 and younger 2 and it was a big shock but these things happen!(not to me anymore i might add lol!)

    Good point Caz - after months of feeling like a hippopotomus - I was gagging for it. :rotfl:

    Can promise you we have high sex drives too ;) I'm just too paranoid about ripping stitches and knowing if I did and it bled then OH would freak again it it would be MONTHS before I got some :rolleyes: And personally I just can't face another pregnancy in the near future, let alone potentially another forceps delievery (not to mention we can't afford another baby yet...)
