Betsie how are you feeling today mrs? I'd say it's so exciting having a definite day x x. What are you thinking about pain relief now? I'd say you just can not wait for your little woman z

Tishandy massive Congrats to you and your family. little S sound like an absolute angel im delighted everything went well and that the breastfeeding is going well. I love the name too :-) You relax and take all the help they offer you in the hospital x

Gee G its great to see them thriving isnt it ? I love that little tube of cream too ive it nearly all used on myself
SSFG i really would love to get those photos done of the baby its fantastic value all right though Galway is a bit of a drive. I looked up a few websites of photographers in the Limerick area anynone have any recommendations?

Hi Ladies, havent been on in a while, I have been so busy with my little man and visitors, its so busy busy, my little boy is a great feeder, guzzles his bottles, had to change his formula on advise from phn as the one he was on wasn't strong enough. Im loving being a mammy, and I dont feel sleep deprived as yet even though he is up every 2 and a half to 3 hrs for his bottle.

Re the nappies - I started on pampers but he is wetting himself and we are constantly changing babygros!!!!! So now I have changed to Huggies i don't know if they are any better but I read someone recommended tesco brand so will try them.

Congrats to all the new arrivals, and good luck Betsie, im thinking of you.
I must update the list or is it you pushki thats in charge of that , I named my little boy Jamie xxx

im feeling ok today Gee G thanks i havent really though too much about pain relief but they said to me in the hospital yesterday that if my bp is up they will recommend that i get an epi so they can control it, after that i dont really know x

rose its great to hear from you glad your loving being a mammy, i cant wait to be one either x

yeah what the name of the cream ladies, i seem to have misplace mine too have bits of it all around the house

Hi Everyone,

Congrats Tishandy, beautiful name for your little girl. Congratulations x
Betsie - 2 more sleeps!!!

This way be useful for mammies of babies who seen to be a little more fussy than normal. Baby may be having a Growth Spurt!

When do babies have growth spurts?
Common times for growth spurts are during the first few days at home and around 7-10 days, 2-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months and 9 months (more or less). Babies don’t read calendars, however, so your baby may do things differently.

My little woman has dry feet too! I must root out the cream from the bag too. I use Caldesene powder on her bottom, only a little dusting of it. It's what my mam used on us.

Yeah kin 2sleeps except i can't sleep, Im exhausted but i just can't sleep :-(

Oh girls, i'm such a wreck. Can't believe that this time tomorrow I either will be or will not be far off being a mammy again. Spent all day yesterday with my other daughter who asked me last week was it ok if we spent tuesday doing all the fun things she likes as it was going to be her last full day as an only child, I almost cried for her the little pet. Couldn't sleep lastnight, i'm quite nervous/excited/anxious oh I just don't know what I am.

Tishandy congrats on ur little girl, u must be delighted, i'm glad the nurses is keeping on top of ur pain relief. Quick question though, how long did it take you to get up and walk again?

Betsie best of luck for today, maybe if there is a problem with ur bp, they mite take you in and induce you today. Have all over you by tomorrow, and you won't have a sleepless night of worrying about the unknown.

Girls all ur babies seem to be thriving, isn't it brilliant. You are all great mammy's and should all be so so proud of yourselves. We are some kinda wonderful

yeah im trying to rest as much as i can bp was ok today

laura i know exactly how you are feeling, im nervous, excited, scared, happy, i just cant believe this time tomorrow all going well ill be in labour anyway

How is everyone in regards to pain/stitches etc? I dunno. I was flying and now seem to be going backwards.
Also bout pampers, I am using them and was using the baby dry ones. had another box of them here and they are the new baby one's and are leaking everywhere. The poor little lad keeps getting up soaked and now struggling to find the baby dry ones in his size. Jesus nothing is ever straight forward! !

SSFG that is a really good offer i must get a few packs of them. I tried the huggies today and they failed the wee test :-(
Gee g my Dr told me that after about a week or ten days the stitches get sore as they start to heal. Make sureyou are getting enough pain relief

witch hazel is great for the piles gee g as for the achey. pelvis that's really uncomfortable isn't it? i found walking helped that a bit. i have had a really bad headache all day. panadol did nothing for. it :-(

My little woman weed all over me today! It leaked down the changing mat and all over my feet. The 2 boys had weapons and they never weed on me lol

Yea the little pee pee points down the way.

Betsie and Laura, looking forward to hearing yere news really soon x

My wound is getting sorer too, its very bad. Anyone with a section wound find it is gone lumpier? I took no diphene today, no pain just sore
