MSE Parents Club Part 9

got-it-spend-it

Ooh, I'm excited about the pink candy striped tins!

Okay, slightly related question....I have loads of sanitary towels leftover that I bought before I had baby to use for bleeding but didn't need. I always use tampons and so do all my friends, should I save them for possible next baby or donate them to somewhere?

Buttonmoons

Yeah sami, bum cliff! I couldn't figure out a word for it either, it's hard to describe, but I think it suits it nicely

My gran has one, you could sit on her one and be carried around, or at least stick a can of pop on it!

Gisi - I gave mine to my friend who is due any day. Felt a bit odd, but no reason to be shy I suppose!

Periods - most recommend using pads for the first period, I assume I'm exempt from that as it has been 9 months since I gave birth? if/when I get a period, can I use tampons?

Alice has been invited to all the weddings we have been invited to since she was born. I'm not sure how practical it would have been to go if she hadn't as all of them were at a distance so we were away staying in a hotel except for one which we went to on the way home from OH's parents (who are about 250 miles away). I certainly wouldn't be offended but probably wouldn't attend if only one of us could go unless it was local. When we got married, we had a limit on the number of people we could have (which was based on how many people could fit in the chapel) and we just worked through our list of priorities of who we wanted until we had reached the limit. If a friend was married with three children then we just counted them as five people.

I totally agree - if a child isn't invited, then you make other arrangements which may involve not going. You don't call the couple lots of unpleasant names and send a revenge gift, and you don't take the kids on the assumption that their names were just left off the invitation.

LOL - no sadder than me planning to go back and buy more when I have just bought 160 tampons!! It is not like they won't get used!

Since I went on Cerazette I seem to bleed all the time so I get through a few!

same reason why i stopped taking it after the 3rd month!

I havent bled at all since I started cerazette 4 months ago, but I still get my cramps and feel sick !!

I bleed on and off all the time!! Bizarre!

I do wonder if it means my pill isn't working?


Just worked out I saved £13.26 on tampons :money:


I also saved £6.20 on hubbys shower gel which is normally £2.24 but was reduced to £1 Result!!


Just a shame I bought a cornish pasty AND a cheese and onion pasty for lunch *rolleyes*


Carla - what have you gone on to? I think my options are pretty limited whilst I am still BF.

I agree Susan and SS. I have been invited to a cousins wedding and kids wernt invited. Because my mum was going and Chris mum was already busy we didnt go, but I have no problem in people making a choice to have no kids. At my wedding, there was more kids than adults at the evening do though !!


What plans SS, anything exciting ??????

Debating. Do I sell the loola and get a mura? I really hate it. Like, really, really can't stand it. Too used to my big 3 wheelers that just glide along.

Don't do anything until you've been and tried out the mura, Tara said its really heavy. I wouldn't buy any pram or buggy without giving it a whirl first now I'm an experienced pram pusher

I keep wondering when i should be expecting a period, is it true that bf'ing delays it?

I stopped bleeding completely when she was 2 weeks old, and it was v.light throughout - not how i remembered it being after DS :eek:

My FB ticker tells me Ed is 7mth 2wks and 2days and no sign of a period yet - totally MSE

Think it also helped that we bought a Fisher Price Sooth & Glow Seahorse yesterday. Bought one for some friends before she was born & wanted one for her since but not got round to buying it. It plays 5 mins of soft music with a night light on it's belly & she loves it. We put her in crib wide awake last night with that & it took 4 times of pressing it but eventually she went to sleep with it all on her own (been taking lots of rocking & cuddles at nighttime recently).

Alex has one of these and he loves it. Put in on after a night feed, most of the time he is asleep before its finished, but sometimes it takes a few goes if he's wide awake.

How much was the seahorse? Amber loves lights but i only have a mobile and it doesn't last long so i get sick of winding it up, so i've been looking for something like that.

This is the Seahorse in Argos- Also comes in pink
