Hi Girls,

I wont try and pretend I've been ok, I have just got through the day, I had a bad night last night. So when ds went to nursery I went back to bed, so got none of the baby jobs done I wanted to get done. But I did get my mum back today instead of tomorrow. All ok with midwife, she got me to book a Dr's app with regards to sleep and maybe getting some counsilling(sp).

So I am just plodding through the day, but knowing that I'm on a nose dive (or normal as others keep telling me), so at least I can expect to be low now and not expect too much from myself at the moment.

I hope you are all ok, I have read back but cannot remember anything!

Best wishes twoflower. I hope your GP is helpful regarding sleep. I'm sure your mind is racing at night keeping you awake, but would it be worth trying simple things like some lavender eg on the pillow at night and some exercise during the day?


Congratulations Plymouth! Love the name Kai.

I'd love some advice on dealing with my MIL! We had a big row and I'd like to resolve things but can't see a solution. The underlying problem is a culture clash, that the relationship we each want to have with the other is very different. I was brought up to be very independent and don't want/need a close relationship with her. I see my parents every few weeks and talk to them once or twice a week and I'd be happy with that sort of relationship with her. However, she wants to talk at least once a day, ideally would want to live with us, but if not see us every weekend. The situation is coming to a head because of the baby. She wants to be much more involved in our lives, but that's the last thing I want! I'm worried that she will interfere in how we chose to bring up the baby. She is still very involved in my husband's life eg making appointments for him which irritates me as he should take this responsibility himself, but he wants an easy life. I feel that I've got a lot of fights ahead to stop her interferring in how I bring up my son! She comes from a culture which expects the DIL to be respectful and look after her in-laws. Unfortunately, she is also quite immature and emotionally manipulative so discussing these issues isn't really an option. Does anyone have any advice for dealing with her without creating stress? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I was just thinking that! Off the top of my head Fuzz, Legs, Emsy and now PSG have all had emergency c-sections :eek: It would be interesting to read their birth stories if they're up to it.

Congrats PSG - great news :j


Back from midwife and she thinks I have mastisis (sp?). She said I have to see my GP and get some antibiotics - so I will try and get an emergency appt with him tomorrow. I was due to see the MW next week anyway so we did all the necessary stuff and I got to hear baby girl's heartbeat again and it appeared straightaway no having to hunt for it

So still, very painful nip for me - although crustiness seems to have gone as long as I keep using my flannel

Teenie_D

oh jeez Sammy poor you, didn't even think you could get that until you started breast feeding! I wonder if cabbage leaves in your bra would help (savoy i think), I know it works wonders for BF'ing Mums, might be worth a shot?

Twoflower, really feel for you hun glad you've got your Mum with you again x

Ejecoms uh oh! I know what I would do but you might not think you can. Firstly you need to give your DH a kick up the backside and tell him to grow up, can't believe he is allowing his Mum to make his appointments for him! He needs to be on your side, which probably wont be easy if he wants an easy life. I probably would have it out with my MIL and TELL her what is suitable for you, not her!

I had probs with my MIL when I fell pregnant and it escalated to the point that by the time I had dd I really didn't want to see her. She is not a horrible person and tries to be helpful (in her eyes, we all [STRIKE]see [/STRIKE] know it as interfering!) Once she realised my feeling about things and that my DH and i were going to do things OUR way, she started backing off and I am pleased to say we are getting back on track.

I don't really know what else to suggest but if you let her get her own way, you will really end up resenting her and possibly your DH. Good luck x

Very "The Little House" but I wouldn't recommend doing away with her. I think your other half should grow a pair and stand up for what you want as you and your son are his number 1 priority and as a family you should decide what is best. If you want less contact then so be it he should honour it. I'd recommend Caller ID on the phone if you don't already have it too...that way you can ignore.
You might have to just suck it and see as you never know you may want more company when you have hours with just you and baby...she might be a blessing in disguise as a MIL.
