Becles, I lost my pregnancy weight very quick, then found it again and it had friends that wanted to come too

Becles, its all on my tummy, it looks horrid, all uneven and loose flabby skin. I hate it, I can't wear anything that makes it look better, it's like I've got jumpers shoved up there, shop lifter style. Loosing weight won't help it, I'm stuck with it for life (or until I can find 4 or 5 grand for surgery, to which DH said no due to the risks)

I've got a loose flabby tummy skin, but it's like an empty sack rather than fat. It hangs down over my bits and gets smelly underneath if I don't lift it up and wash it I can't wear small knickers as they sit in the fold and the elastic chaffs, so I have to wear big granny knickers now Got the nightmare of trying to find big bikini bottoms soon, although I have spotted these at BHS which I'm keen to try on:

I did do a mystery shop for a cosmetic surgery company and was told I would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck, but I can't afford that and the lady said I need to be sure I want no more pregnancies before it is done, which I'm not sure about.

Still debating the boot camp, but think I will sign up if Craig doesn't mind watching the bairns.

Going shopping with Charlotte today. We're going looking for holiday clothes and sandals for her, or san-gulls as she calls them

I hope everyone is ok - I will have a little look back in a mo. Has anyone heard from Feelie? I noticed she had unfriended us all, and sent her a few messages, but I don't want to be an internet stalker person, so I don't want to send any more. I hope she is ok.

I'm still in touch with her. I don't want to break any confidence but as far as I know she's doing okay. She doesn't post on MSE any more.

They should re name it as 'No faffing about weaning' or 'just give the baby some of your grub, weaning' or 'if it can eat it, it can have it'.

I don't like the name - I only use the name if people know it already or they want to find out more information (and therefore need the name to find it). IRL I told people we just gave her regular food rather than purees/baby food. If I was giving more information I would tell them that the theory was that they could learn to eat regular food by the time they needed it, that the gag reflex protects them from choking while they are learning, that purees can bypass the gag reflex and that it seemed to be working for us. (But obviously in more words than that - that's a precis.)

Yes it was she didnt even check my stitches just asked me how I was healing lol

LOL aww, how heavy is K now? E is now 12 pound 7 oz

The Dr gave me Colief for E so we will see if that works, if not then I have to take him back and we will try other things

Aww I did one I will find you it, it was traumatic for me lol, its long mind lol

Weezl - why cant we do sit ups? (or did Gym have a C section? I cant remember, sorry) and (E is heavier than 10 pound and doesnt sleep the night lol)

We can do sit ups at 6 weeks, but best avoided before, which I think Gym is. It's because if your abdominal muscles haven't joined back together again and then you firm them up, you can permanentise (not a real word!) the split in them. HTH xxx

There was at one point some research into the link between traumatic births and autism, though not sure if this has been completed. They had noticed a correlation between forceps/ventouse deliveries and autism, and were hypothesising that perhaps the autism was operating even at that early stage to prevent the unborn child understanding the signals to get into the optimum position to come down the birth canal.

I feel quite cross about this hypothesis.

And also hello nicki and nice to see you on here and hear your news

Me too Weezl, for an array of reasons.

And hello Nicki

My alarm didn't go off this morning so I missed ward rounds, and I have a METRIC TON of work stuff to get done. Plus I'm supposed to go out to lunch at a friend's place and the chances of getting there are absolutely minimal because of all the stuff to do. And I'm feeling so overwhelmed by it that all I can do is sit here and on Facebook and stare vacantly at the screen while the husband is ranting about something that's happening in the Gulf of Mexico.

Hmm. I feel better now. I shall now be tuning out the husband and making a list before my 10:30 meeting.

Oh, and Molly Dutch-ovened Husband overnight :rotfl: :rotfl:

Thanks for letting me know

I hav an amazingly clingy baby here, but I need to DO things. I think she needs a nap, but she doesn't agree with me! Might have to use the biscuit method of distraction while I polish my shoes and make her lunch. We are meeting my Mum at rhyme time, then I'm coming home to sort myself out for my interview and they will have lunch and then presumably go back to my parents. That reminds me. i'm meant to be preparing for this interview too!
