Gap?

Glad to hear the lurker is okay.

Sami replied but just to add my buggy fit instructor had us lying down and lift our head and shoulders while she felt just below the belly button and I could feel a gap. Haven't tested it for a while though as it makes me too squeamish!

Related to a topic which people were worrying about yesterday: I sometimes find myself doing/thinking things on the basis of experience with different people to the ones I am now dealing with. So for example, my dad could be violent (nothing major - mainly low level violence, intimidation and smashing things up) and sometimes I find myself planning to hide something from OH because it was something that my dad would flip out over and then I remember that I don't need to. OH is absolutely not violent at all and even gets upset by me shouting but I find I have automatic responses to certain situations based on the past. Obviously I can't speak for anyone else's situation but I thought it might be useful to know that when someone has a fear related to the past it doesn't automatically mean that it is something that might really happen in the present.

if anyone would like my stomach muscles they are very welcome to them!

other than they vertical split downthe middle the left 3-pack is attached at the top near my rib and for about 3 inches down the left side.. the right 3-pack is attached at the top.. and not at all anywhere else. They are absolutely useless.

I was meant to be going surgery but it has been postponed!

I have no peritoneum as it was removed while repairing my uterus, bowel, bladder and muscles when DD4 was removed.

My abdomen goes.. skin, fat, muscle (or not) innards! I am in fact one huge hernia!!

I cannot tense the stomach muscles and my back does ALL the work my stomach muscles are supposed to do.. I was also supposed to be getting a referral for physio 2 months ao.. that hasn't happened either.. gotta love the efficiency of the health authority!!

talking bout children acting up when mum isnt around, you should see my cousins little girl.
its awful, her mum cant even leave the room or she screams the place down. she;s 18 months old and tbh my cousin only has herself to blame for it. Kate is carried everywhere on the hip even when her mum is cooking! when we were there Kate wouldnt even get off her mum's lap to show us how well she could walk. my mum said she's been like that for months. for my cousin to go anywhere wihtout her, she can only go if her husband stays with Kate as this is the only person she will stay with. they have just started a mums/toddler group so hoping she will get better soon.

made me realise how lucky i am that (at the moment) anyway, Kian will easily stay with PIL, my mum, DH. even when we went looking at nurseries he was happy to stay with the lady in the room while i got shown all around.

i put it down to doing things around the house while K has been awake so i have to leave him. he will happily now sit on the floor playing wiyh his toys as i'm upstairs or in the kitchen. (never too far away incase he falls over on his face. although today he did that, whimpered once and steadied himself, rolled onto his back and laughed.

This is interesting to me as an attachment parent because as an attachment parent you carry LO around all the time in the hope that giving LO lots of support and security when they are little will make them more confident and independent later although I do remember something in the Sears book saying they can get a bit clingy at one stage but that it would pass and was nothing to worry about (might have to check that) I certainly wasn't expecting it to be months! At the moment Erin is very good and will go with anyone but I expect that probably will change. Anyone else have any views on this?

Evening all..

Maz, whether you get paid, and at what rate, for KIT days is up to your own employer - there's (unfortunately!) no guidelines for it :cool:

We've had a lovely afternoon with friends Rhys tried raisins for the first time - don't know why, I've never given him small foods with my fingers (he won't put them in his mouth yet) even though he eats peas and sweetcorn off a spoon quite happily :doh: Maybe I was afraid of him choking but my friend is a children's nurse (now student midwife) so I figured he'd be alright in her presence Anyway, he seemed to really like them so will have to raid the baking cupboard for snacks now! He's also been taking chunks out of a strip of chicken tonight

Oh oh, and he sat for ages at my friend's so that's four days running he's sat for quite a while without help so fingers crossed he does it for the physio in the morning

I've been stocking up the freezer again with fruit icecubes so we now have pear and peach as usual and pineapple to try, along with the rest of a tin of "breakfast compote" (prunes, apple, apricot and pear) which he wolfed down with his weetabix yesterday. Mixed up some chicken and pasta in cheese sauce too for easy teas

Physio in the morning then a friend coming over for lunch so must nip out later and get some lunch things in! :cool:

Thanks Glam, I'm an emotional wreck I felt so pushed into bfing at hospital and he really struggled and screamed all night til the other women complained about me (so I could hear!!) then the MWs kept coming in and messing with me and him and my boobs, one grabbed one and said can't you do something about your flat nipples, no wonder he can't get on :mad: Yes, I'll get nipple grafts! I feel so heartbroken that it's not working how I'd hoped/expected/planned and like I'm letting him down, firstly couldn't go into labour, then couldn't give birth naturally and now I can't even feed him myself

.....

Don't think anyone replied to this? My sister has flat nipples and really struggled with bf at first, her LO lost too much weight and she was told to feed him more. In the end my sis got a nipple shield which worked wonders and after a while she was able to gradually stop using the nipple shield and is still bf now 9 months later
