I feel horrible bodywise compared to what I was before, but DH keeps telling me he finds me more attractive than before....

Mine says that too, I just hope he's being honest not being polite

Morning all

Wow it looks like it is going to be a lovely day here
Dp is going to cut the front lawn this afternoon. I want to buy one of those back carrier things that baby sits in so we can go for a walk in the woods on days like this. May have a look on eBay.

Morning sunshine
Yay for Aiden sleeping better!
I have found a seller that sells lots of the back carriers in our town so going to give them a ring in a bit. :j
If we do buy one we will take the kids and dog to the woods this afternoon and wear them out a bit

Hope you get a carrier Sammie. We bought one to take on holiday with us, it was really good actually as the airport we landed at, Palma, was a really long walk to the carousel to get the pushchair so OH had him in the carrier, we also used it on a few excursions off the boat.

Looks like a nice day here too OH wants to watch the F1 later though so looks like me and Aiden will be in the garden

On the weight subject, although I weigh less than before I was pregnant, my stomach looks so much bigger because it is so wobbly. I really need to tone up. I can wear size 10 jeans now, where I was a 12 before, but I cant wear any tops which are quite tight fitted as its all a bit jiggly!! May have to get some of these amazing control pants

I wouldn't feel too down about your shape/size - we have just had beautiful babies! xxxx

Sunshine - that is why we wanted to buy a carrier, so we could take it on holiday with us too. Haven't managed to phone up about it yet as I have another headache so have spent most of the day on the sofa Dp is making homemade burgers for dinner and all I can hear is the blender going!!!

Carriers - get a good one that supports from the back of one knee to the other and keeps the weight on the bum, not the groin - think of a very squished flat in the middle M shape. Closer you can get them to your own centre of gravity the easier they are to carry as well - things like babybijorns are really hard going on your back and neck.

I've got a connecta - use it for front carries at the moment, will swap her over to going on my back in the next few months and I hardly use the pushchair at all to be honest.

I love my Babybjorn and have had no problems using it, and I'm normally prone to back pain. I used it when travelling from Gatwick a couple of weeks ago and whilst in transit; definitely useful when travelling. Also very man-friendly - hubby and dad both happy to use it. But I like the look of the Connecta and the point about having the weight on the bum and not the groin makes a lot of sense. I guess it's ultimately down to personal preferences...

I was told the BB carriers are bad for baby, and decided to research it myself, and I wasn't amused at the results, considering they are so widely sold. For very occasional use I'd say they are alright but not for any length of time.

Not sure what make ours is tbh will check when at home. Do agree though that its personal pref, Aiden was happy in ours and our backs were fine

Having a bbq at mums, yummy!!! xxx
