MSE Newborn to 1 year Baby Club 1

Thanks fluff, I think I'm eating plenty - I'm still a stone heavier and a cloths size bigger than Pre-preg *sigh*.

I'm tired, but, aren't we all? Lol! As for stress, anxiety - funnily enough I'm the least of any of those I've been since I was about 6 weeks preg! Work are finally being amicable (I had all that tribunal crap), I got my settlement in December meaning that I am completely debt free (woohoo!) so this is jthe first month that no debt payments are going out, we have moved from our horrible damp house to a nice house, Reuben is a joy (most of the time!) to look after rather than the stressy early days, me and OH are getting along brilliantly, and OH and Reu have developed a lovely bond. My house is the cleanest and tidiest it's been since we moved in (nov), I'm actually managing spare time lately, haven't had that for months!!!

If anything I should be feeling marvellous right now but instead I feel like sh!te :-/

And to top the day off - I've just scalded most of the fingers on my left hand missing the target to pour a freshly boiled kettle into! So now not only can I barely lift a baby who is nowhere near even crawling yet, let alone able to weight bear or near walking because my pelvis can't take the strain - I've now also got one hand that still feels like it's on fire and is only going to get worse before it gets better so physically can't get a grip!

Turtle... he's gonna suck my boons right off before long! And I also get what you're experiencing. I've put it down to my naturally low blood pressure and a bad iron day.

Dizzi you poor thing is there someone you can call in for an extra hand?

Sounds like it good be down to iron levels turtle, I know you said you're eating plenty but are you eating the right stuff? I think its things like leafy greens, red meat for iron? Hope the docs can sort you out although will prob mean blood tests and a few days wait for the results. Could be worth asking the doc if its worth trying spatone for a month or so - iron supplement you add to a drink, I took it after going anaemic during the pregnancy. Off the shelf in Boots so you could get cracking on that while waiting for the results. Obviously that's just my opinion and suggestion, I'm not a doctor!!! Anyway, hope you feel better soon.

I've just met the other mum which was nice, I forget how nice it is to talk to another grown up sometimes. Even if it was all baby/labour talk!

Thanks for the info fluff - I kept trying not to put up with the lazy latch but as we have been practising new positions (I can only do rugby ball will about 300 pillows - not ideal for feeding when out and about!) I think it has just irritated it further. Thanks for the link going to try a new one out and see how we go

Turtle - That sounds like something I'd be going to the GP about. Hope you feel better soon x

Anyone experienced a baby whose tummy goes very hard after feeding? She then doesn't cry at all but it only deflates when she has had a serious poo/trumping session (these are some serious trumps!). I'm glad they don't cause her pain but I am worried that shes ok! Health visitor said "yes its a hard tummy isn't it, go to your GP if you are worried......." so now I don't know whether I should be worried or not :eek: On the subject of the HV she really didn't provide much help on any queries :eek:
