Flava how much does your little man weigh now?? I have not had Dave weighed for aaaages as I know they will just tell me hes small yawn!!! lol, I would guess D is around 17lb maybe?? Imight just take him for a giggle tomorrow, or it might be Thursday??!!
Dloui, do you use anything for LO's teething?? I find a clean flannel/ was cloth wettened for them to chew on helps! plus it keeps them nice and clean:bigsmile:

I have been giving him a cold washcloth and he likes to chew on that for a while, but other than that nothing, he just whines alot right now so I am so ready for those teeth to pop out

[ELP]

Its horrid isnt it:( Can you see them under the skin? With one of ours the skin just wouldnt give and it was so high and stretched white! DH said his nan would split the skin to let them through but I am just not brave/wicked enough for that.

I can't really see anything yet but the gums feel super hard. I just figure they have to come soon DD1 and DD2 had their first two bottom teeth at 5 and 6 months and West will be 6 months old on the 18th

[ELP]

6 months!! That has flown hasnt it! I have to ask are you tempted to go again;)

[ELP]

ýou could say, well we had the girls close, then we knew we wanted to wait tnen have the boys close.:bigsmile:

[dloui128]

6 months!! That has flown hasnt it! I have to ask are you tempted to go again;)

I would love to have at least two more but DH is firm that 3 is our limit. I have to now live vicariously thru you

[dloui128]

ýou could say, well we had the girls close, then we knew we wanted to wait tnen have the boys close.:bigsmile:

Haha I tried that line

[ELP]

Tell him meet you in the middle at 4 lol!! You never know he may just switch on you:agree: My dh said 5 was enough at one time, he now says I want at least a dozen outta you! I just wish I was younger, we had no 1 at 22 and im now 36 so I really shoupd set a finishing age if not number!

[Hobbermittens]

Congrats on the new little boy ELP!! How exciting that Davey will get a new baby brother! He is adorable, by the way--I say the pictures on the other thread. He looks so grown up with the haircut!

Sorry for everyone having teething woes! The little boy I watch is getting his molars now and he is a wreck. He is the worst teether I have ever seen. He is just beside himself--it's really sad! None of my kids have been like that. Sawyer hasn't got any teeth yet, so we'll see how he does.

[Flava]

I don't understand this (maybe my English ) but what would split the skin? Lord now way I would do that sound scary !
Benjamin only like to chew on his hand or grab our finger (auchhh and bite us) Anything else he only chew for a very short time and that's it.
Now the corner of the first teeth is out (bottom left middle teeth) so there should be no more pressure , right? But he still going on crying and all ! Maybe the other is coming to the right one next to it?? Oh I want it out already!
Im not sure how heavy is he ...he was like 17 lbs at 6 months now for sure he is more. Only I sold my baby scale on ebay lol he did not fit on it no more. I try to weight him on the regular scale today.

[Flava]

I can't really see anything yet but the gums feel super hard. I just figure they have to come soon DD1 and DD2 had their first two bottom teeth at 5 and 6 months and West will be 6 months old on the 18th

I also thought babys teeth will come early , remember he started teething before 4 month's old and he is 7 months in a couple days and only now the teeth is out! You never know huh! Hope it wont take this long for your baby.
DD4 had 2 teeth at 4 months!
And believe me you are so lucky you have 2 girls 1 boy just like I wanted you don't want more babys!!!! LOL
Well I don't know how much help you got buy I have zero so really 1 or max 2 would have been the best for us really.

I said I wanted 4 when we got married he was firm on 2 so I guess he compromised and we had 3, it took me 4 years to convince him for number 3 though lol, we are definitely done, he got snipped so he made sure of it

[ELP]

Flava, apparantly she would actually cut the skin open with her nail!! I can see how this would help but oh my!! I couldnt do it lol!!

Well snipped is definitely pretty final, but that must actually be quite nice especially after geting a little dg on the end:) No more tracking ov, 2ww's!! Just knowing, This is my family :)

[ELP]

Hobber, he does look so grown up lol!! As soon as it was cut I was just longing for the new one to have a baby back around the house lol:)

[dloui128]

ya it is good in a way, but I was hoping to sneak at least 1 more in there

[Flava]

oh lol no way! I would not let her do that either!

[Pearl327]

Dloui, don't tell this to your DH but a woman in my prenatal yoga class had an accidental pregnancy after her DH had the snip about 6 years ago. They were both in shock and there were a lot of arguments but they worked through it

[Pearl327]

I also wanted to share the absolutely no doubt I am having a boy shot I got today 11927.

His Crown Jewels

[dloui128]

Dloui, don't tell this to your DH but a woman in my prenatal yoga class had an accidental pregnancy after her DH had the snip about 6 years ago. They were both in shock and there were a lot of arguments but they worked through it

DH would totally be fine with another kid if it happened, he just thinks that financially it is not the right thing to do which I agree, and he wants to be out of the baby stage so that we are still young enough that when the kids get older me and him and can do alot more together.
Its funny because I have been jumping his bones everyday, and he is not complaining at all but he said to me the other day your just hoping that all this sex the sperm are gonna just bust thru aren't you lol :bigsmile:

Not much longer now for you I can't wait to see some pics!!

West finally got his first tooth, he's been a cranky mess with the teething going on, hopefully it will get a little easier now

[minimatron]

Hey ladies. I haven't posted for a while, just been busy as usual. Am now on weekly scans. Baby is still breech, fluids still low and still has fluid on kidneys. The renal specialist wants to put him on abs when he's born and also scan at a month. Fluid levels are low and tummy growth has slowed down a few weeks, so now we are monitoring placenta to make sure its functioning. Never a dull moment here. Having a grumpy day... Better run.

[Pearl327]

You certainly are having an eventful pregnancy Mini. I hope everything work out well for you.

[Cinss]

My little bear 7 weeks

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/26/u4e3aget.jpg

[Pearl327]

He is so cute Cinss.

[Flava]

cinss- such cute little baby ! Did you just put that on him for the pic or it's cold where you are ? It's soooo hot here I hate it.

[Cinss]

cinss- such cute little baby ! Did you just put that on him for the pic or it's cold where you are ? It's soooo hot here I hate it.

Yes it is cold here at the moment, winter has started, its the worst having to wake up in the middle of the night for feeding, but we have started leaving the heater/air-con on all night, so its not too bad.

[minimatron]

Your baby is so cute...edible, just want to smother him in kisses.
Its freezing here in Australia...well not freezing but chilli, I'm clearing frost off the windscreens every morning. We've all had colds for extended periods of time. I'm looking forward to the summer.
Had a scan the other day....again. Not sure if I said but now on weekly scans, alternating between doplars... Blood flows... And growth scans. This week was blood flow and things were looking OK and the fluid around baby has increased slightly. Let's hope that next week we see that his growth has improved. Oh and he is still breech.
I have a photo I need to share....

[Flava]

mini-hopefully everything will be ok by the time baby comes! good pic lol

[minimatron]

Scan day today. Can't wait to see my baby again. This time we will be checking his growth. I'm pretty sure he hasn't turned. I really need to be more consistent with hanging upside down to try and turn him. I had a bad few days with swelling. My feet were huge and my hands also. I took yesterday off work but the seemed to go down and this morning they are much better. Its really just my hands now, I'm suffering carpal tunnel and I could barely lift the kettle this morning and typing is making my fingers tingling. The joys hey. I need to remember to enjoy all of it as it won't be happening ever again.
How is everyone?

[Pearl327]

Hi mini. How did the scan go. I am just playing the waiting game now. But lost my plug yesterday so hopefully it won't be too much longer

[minimatron]

Oh pearl... How exciting. Can't wait to hear your news. I'm so excited for you.

Well my scan went...really well. I don't have another one for 2 weeks. The placenta looks like its working well, as is the cord. The fluid is slowly increasing around the baby. The tummy is still measuring behind but its growing. The only issue for birth now is that he's frank breech. We will look at turning him at 36 weeks if he hasn't done so by then. The Dr did say it may be harder for him to turn due to low fluid however not impossible.
Then after birth we will deal with his kidney issues. So all in all, I'm feeling so much more relaxed.

Again....pearl....how exciting :-)

[ELP]

Pearl! How exciting for you!! I hope things have or do start for you really soon!! My DS1 b'day is the 7th and Im more than happy to share with you lol:bigsmile:

[ELP]

mini thats great news that things are improving in there for him:) Have you looked into the turning sites out there for him?? Im sure somebody on here recommended a good one? spinning babies?? or something like that!
Found it:)
Breech (http://www.spinningbabies.com/baby-positions/breech-bottoms-up)

[minimatron]

Thanks elp, I've been a bit slack. I should get into it. I'm not sure how often I need to do it. Maybe I'm wishing he will do it himself...

[Cinss]

Hi mini. How did the scan go. I am just playing the waiting game now. But lost my plug yesterday so hopefully it won't be too much longer

Oh yay your little man is on the way, if not here already? Yippee cant wait for an update :)

[Pearl327]

Still waiting on the contractions to kick in Cinss. But have been having a bloody show since yesterday morning so cannot be to far away now.

[Pearl327]

He is here
12306

John arrived yesterday afternoon by c-section after my body once again refused to dilate past 2cm in spite of good strong contractions for over 24hrs. He is almost 2lb bigger then my DD at 8lb 15 oz not chubby just really long. He is absolutely perfect and we are so in love with him

[Huds]

Huge congrats Pearl!!!!!! Awwwwwwwww He looks ever soooooo cooote!! Hope u recover well pearl.xx

[dloui128]

He is so handsome pearl!!! Congrats

[Flava]

pearl what a pretty boy!!! So cute !http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/red-fox/red-fox-emoticon-04.gif (http://emoticoner.com) He looks happy :-) Look at all the hair I love it! Hope all is good.

http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/2041/2041539b77hs38ucm.gif (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)

[afy]

Awwwwwwwwww HUGE HUGE congratulation to you and the family pearl.. He is absolutely beautiful!!
If you don't mind me asking what was the reason for the c section?

[minimatron]

Pear, a huge congratulations on the safe arrival of your stunning little man, John. I'm tearing up because....I'm next :-)

Afy...looks like she didn't have labour progress after 24 hours and was still only 2 cms, hence the need for the section....correct me if I'm wrong :/

[Pearl327]

Thanks everyone. Spot on for the reason for the section mini. The same thing happened with DD except I was left to labour for a lot longer and my body was going into shock before the section with her.

[afy]

Well the main thing pearl is tht he's here safe and sound! That was exactly the reason why I had a csection with my DD and I had only got upto 2cm! I have no idea what next time will be like..

[minimatron]

Isn't it funny how our bodies work. I dilate very quickly. I usually get to the hospital at about 6-7 and then not long after I have babe in arms. I'm hoping it doesn't go too quick for this one. My last was 3 hours.

[Cinss]

http://dl7.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1832/1832577gcltq2pl11.jpg (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)

Pearl, good job Mumma! He sure does look like a little man already, such a sweet face. xo Hope you are recovering well.

[minimatron]

Here's a quick update from me... Scan today and baby is still breech so next week I'm booked in for ecv. I also need to keep having growth scans as baby's tummy is smaller than head/femur and over all growth looks as though it is slowing. I have one more day at work which is great because I'm starting to swell a lot. My bp was high the other day, no protein in my urine though and was sent for monitoring. Just under 5 weeks left...yay for me :-)

5 weeks will fly by and then you will get to meet your little man! Hope all goes well with your ecv

[ELP]

Pearl!! Congratulations on baby John:):HH: I missed his picture drat so will have to wait for lots of updated ones:bigsmile:

Mini best of luck with the ecv, hopefully he will turn nice and easily and start fattening up for you!

Lol wish i had five weeks left! Gudluck with everything..bet ur so excited to meet him

[minimatron]

Congrats on your little man huds, I bet you're over the moon.

I had the ecv yesterday. It hurt like anything and was unsuccessful. If I don't spontaneously go into labor I'll end up with a csection. This is because they are worried about his health as it is and believe that an induction would be too tough on him. I have a scan on Monday and then review straight after and a growth scan on Wednesday. If he's stopped growing they will want him out, so a csection. I'm a little nervous but I just want my baby out safely. Anyway that's me in a but shell. Can't type too much coz of silly carpal tunnel.

[Pearl327]

Sorry the ecv didn't work. A c section isn't the worst if you need one.


I am 2 weeks and 2 days after my one and I am almost back to normal after mine. All my baby weight is gone and i am back into my UK10/US6 clothes. Just the HE diet weight to go. But I will wait until I can exercise to work on that

My little man is doing great. He is feeding every 3-4hrs and sleeping almost all the time in between. He now weights 9lb 7oz and it won't be long before he has out grown his 0-3 month sleep suits as he is the length of them already. Here is a picture of him today

12556

[minimatron]

He's cute...I can't wait to see mine.
Tell me more about a section... I've only had natural and I think the unknown is scaring me, particularly with 4 kids...

[ELP]

He is absolutely gorgeous Pearl! Enjoy every second of him xxxxxx

sorry it wasn't successful mini, I never had a csection but I always thought that if the dr said we need to do one well then we need to do one and I would deal with it. In the end we just want our babies to be healthy no matter how they come out :hugs:

[Pearl327]

He's cute...I can't wait to see mine.

My recommendations would be to request skin to skin and breast feeding in theatre while they are stitching you back up. For me the worst bit is going to recovery after while DH goes back to the wards with baby. But this is not the case in all countries.

I would recommend getting a support wrap as it does make things easier. Especially when a toddler is climbing all over you.

Take all the pain meds you can for the 1st week or so.

Have someone around to help for the 1st week after you come home

As regards lifting. Treat your body like you are still heavily pregnant. In other words don't pick up your toddler

Rest as much as possible but also keep active. I have been taking short walks since I came home. Increasing the amount of time each day.

[Flava]

mini-sorry it didn't worked! I also had a c/s with DD3 and she was a preemie baby so they took her away and I only saw her next day for a couple min. they took her in a different hospital so she only BF some days after birth and she did good anyway.
The walking was little hard after c/s for some days , that's it.
hopefully your baby is ok and he turns.

[Flava]

pearl- your baby is super cute!!!

[Pearl327]

Thanks Flava. I certainly think so. The 3 of us are so in love with. DD has to go and give him a kiss 1st thing every morning and she is afraid that any of our visitors might take him home with them.

[Huds]

Hi ladies,

Its coming up to my 20 week scan i feel nervous. I hope hes still a boy. Heres the potty shot i got at 16w 1d.. Was anyone else potty shot like this? Ive been looking at the net for 16w boy potty shots

[dloui128]

Its coming up to my 20 week scan i feel nervous. I hope hes still a boy. Heres the potty shot i got at 16w 1d.. Was anyone else potty shot like this? Ive been looking at the net for 16w boy potty shots

that is definitely a boy, no worries

[Huds]

Cant help but not worry. Feels too good to be true. I keep looking at the scan pic every so often

[dloui128]

Cant help but not worry. Feels too good to be true. I keep looking at the scan pic every so often

I felt the same way, you better start believing it though he will be here before you know it, I can't even believe my little man is already 7 1/2 months old I feel like I just had him

[Huds]

Lol i know! Its so hard to believe never thought my sway would work, bcos of my veggy days and fast. Once i get the ok at 20wk scan ill start buying a few things. Im so excited. I kept dd2 clothes just incase i was having another girl. Over the weekend i gave most it away and it felt great. DD1 just said to me mummy i think you should wear a nappy bcos they baby needs it. Bless her, she is so funny. She cannot wait for the little one to arrive

I was thinking of buying a pregnancy pillow.. Would anyone recommend it? This time around i feel sore and back ache now and then.

[Huds]

7 n half months.. Bet hes crawling around. Would u have another?

[dloui128]

7 n half months.. Bet hes crawling around. Would u have another?

I would have another in heartbeat, DH only wanted 2 and I wanted 4 so I guess we met in the middle, he had a vasectomy in March :(

[Huds]

I would have another in heartbeat, DH only wanted 2 and I wanted 4 so I guess we met in the middle, he had a vasectomy in March :(

Ahhh at least u guys met half way and got ur mixed family. Similar story with my dh, he wanted to stop at dd2. It took me nearly a yr to get him on board. Now hes more excited than i am. I know he wouldnt have anymore than 3 nw

[ELP]

You never know Huds, with a little persuasion he msy want ds to have a little ds buddy lol!!!:bigsmile:

[ELP]

Can anyone believe how fast time in general goes! Scary!! I've just hit 3rd tri and wonder what I did with the last 6 months, apart from laundry that is:) I tried to take a bump pic yesterday and got a look at my face from a pictures perspective and I saw my nan looking back at me instead!!! Shes 74 years old!! I think I need a moistureiser or a time macine:bigsmile:

[Huds]

You never know Huds, with a little persuasion he msy want ds to have a little ds buddy lol!!!:bigsmile:

This is what the tech said to dh! Maybe when hes born he may change his mind. But it took alot to get him to try for our third. Im so glad we did

Elp ur last comment made me chuckle! My skin is also super dry. I still get the odd pimple on my face. The joys of pregnancy :wink:

[minimatron]

Hi all. Just thought I'd pop in. I've been busy with scans, monitoring and drs appointments. I'm now 37 weeks :-) its gone really quickly this last trimester. Probably coz I spend so much time at the hospital! So after my last scan, I've been given the go ahead to birth naturally unless so etching happens and we need him out then it would be a section. So now I'm less anxious as I believe in my body and mind and know I can do this. So I'm hoping baby will come really soon. I'm tired.

Huds...that's a boy no doubt.
Elp... You're too funny:-) I'm sure you're not looking that old.

[dloui128]

I posted a new pic of West if anyone wants to check it out

http://genderdreaming.com/forum/birth-ultrasound-stories/24993-long-overdue-birth-story.html#post441808

Mini I can't believe you are already 37 weeks!

[Pearl327]

Dloui he is just gorgeous. And has gotten so big.

ELP I am sure you look fabulous. And not like your gran

Mini that is great that you got the go ahead for a normal delivery.

Huds congratulations on your boy. I didn't fully believe I was having a boy either until about 36 weeks when I got I full on scan pic of his boy bits as proof :)

[minimatron]

Dloui he's so cute. I know... I can't believe I'm 37 weeks already. I actually can't believe that I'm having another baby and that I'm having a boy. I've seen his balls so many times now I don't need any reasurrance. Lol. The scan on Monday was testament to that.

Pearl, I'm so happy to be able to birth vaginally with the support behind me. I am nervous though. I'm not sure which bit is making me nervous, the fact he will come out a different way or just birth itself. I think I'm just tired and over thinking things.

[ELP]

Mini you are so close!!!! So excited for you!!

[Flava]

I posted a new pic of West if anyone wants to check it out

I don't see any pics can you post it here?
Hey ladies hope everyone is great! Im not on much anymore because like no1 else is on on the birth club and I just kinda forget to log on anymore ...but will come to look at pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mini I can't believe you are already 37 weeks!

[Flava]

I posted this on my other group .Some update on us.:happy:
Benjamin is fine he STILL want to be held a lot. That is his favorite thing I guess. He STILL only turn on his back on the bed not doing it on the floor because he bump his head. (no clue why can't he learn to be careful?) He STILL not sitting up alone if I sit him up he fall after a wile and that's it. So have to be there with him or not sit him up. BUT finally he is scooting on his tummy all over the house ! So I can put him down and he is exploring for a short time.Not pulling his legs up yet so not sure when he gonna crawl around finally.(or if he will) he reach up sometimes so I guess he will pool himself up 1 day. Im just kinda worried how is he going to balance standing if he is not doing that with the sitting?
He is going to be 9 months next week ! I ask the doc what she thinks on the checkup. Im thinking he is just doing things slower then the girls . I was really thinking he will be walking by 1 but now I don't see it. So that's it for us.

[dloui128]

I don't see any pics can you post it here?
Hey ladies hope everyone is great! Im not on much anymore because like no1 else is on on the birth club and I just kinda forget to log on anymore ...but will come to look at pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mini I can't believe you are already 37 weeks!

sure I will post shortly, I only left it on for a few days. lets see a new one of Benjamin!! I can't believe he is already 9 months old, time sure does fly by. West will be 8 months old soon and he is finally starting to sit up a little without crashing to the floor lol, he wants to crawl so bad but his little arms aren't strong enough cause he just falls on his face, so he army crawls all over the place .

[ELP]

I missed your pics too Dloui!! Thanks for re-posting!! He is sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at his big brown eyes (swoon):bigsmile: Mine all have blue eyes and I would Looooove a big brown eyed baby:HH:

Flava, what did the Dr say?? My DS1 didnt walk til 15 months:) He just couldnt be bothered lol, why walk when mummy will carry you:) He was a very clingey baby, like a little chimp! And when I would try and put him down he would just cling on lol:)

[minimatron]

Flava dd3 crawled by 11 months and walked by 17 months. She was and is still a mummies girl. Doesn't harm in getting a check up though.

Dloui he's so cute.

Hi to everyone else. I'm 38 weeks now. I seriously thought I would have had a baby but looks like this man is staying put. I'm going in today for a second attempt at the ecv. Only because of the higher fluid level. Also my scan on Monday showed an increase in blood flow to the brain so if its still like that on Monday they will want him out and if he is breech it will be by csec but if he's head down they will induce me. Either way, I hope I go into labor before then.
I've got 3 unwell kids. They aren't too bad but winter has finally caught up with us here. Dh is feeling unwell and I've had this throat thing for over a week now. Only 3 more weeks til spring.

[ELP]

Oh mini its sounds a little like stress city:hugs2: This time next week life will be completely different!!! Fingers x'ed they can get things moving soon for you xx

[minimatron]

My attempt was unsuccessful. Blood flows remain elevated to baby's head, so now I'm left to really think my options. If by Monday the scan shows blood flows still increased they have offered a stretch and sweep to get things moving. Also a csec has been flagged again because they are concerned about baby's health. Am going to chat with dh tonight and make a decision about it. Not sure what I'm feeling right now except terrified, either way....

[nuthinbutpink]

I saw this in the New Posts part. Mini I am sorry that things are tough. I hope they get baby out and all is well.

Flava, at 9 months, he shoud be able to sit on his own. I would definitely call your peditrician and if you have Babies Can't wait in your area, they are a free service up until 3 years old and they will come to your home and do therapy with your son for free.

At nine months with his lack of mobility and not sitting up on his own, I would call them and get him some help and have him checked out. It is probably nothing but I wish I would have acted sooner with my DD.

[dloui128]

Oh mini things sound tough at the moment for you :hugs:

[Flava]

mini-that sound scary for sure ! GL to you I hope baby will be out soon all healthy and happy! Don't be so scared of a c/s it's not such a big deal at all. Only for a couple days after it's not so easy to get up. Hopefully you have some help around !

[Flava]

We didn't saw the doc yet .He will be 9 months next week but we only got appointment for the 26th .So I ask her then what she thinks.
Im not saying he got lack of mobility .He is moving around everywhere on his tummy (commando crawling I guess?) only not crawling on hands and knees yet. He do sit on his own but not sitting up alone .I have to sit him up and he do fall after awhile. I really don't think there is anything wrong with him I just think he do things slow.But I will ask for sure!
DD3 also had this therapy .A lady was coming to our house once a week to help. but I have to say it was pretty much useless :suprise: Like we had to make her try to crawl over our legs or pillows ect. And we had to crawl around to show her how to do it ,now that was funny. And she didn't care at all lol .Also exercise her legs because they said maybe she had stiff muscles . Anyway turned out there is nothing wrong with her at 13 months she got tubes in her ears because she had fluid in it and 2 days after that she was walking on her own! They said it happens a lot because of the water they can't balance.
So I hope my boy is just lazy lol

[Flava]

dloui-that a sweet baby you have there! omg so cute and happy!
I guess Benjamin do the same things then just like West lol
Only I have to hold him a lot he comes to my feet and pooling on me to pick him up !
I do see sometimes he tries to pull his legs up to get on his knees so I hope it will happen soon. Still not sure what's up with the sitting ...

[minimatron]

Thanks girls. I'm just really done with it all...the monitoring, the scans the appointments, the poking and here I am at 3am and can't sleep because all I can do is think. Dh and I had a good chat about it before bed and we are both concerned about the baby's health now. I think we've come to terms that a csec is more than likely unless I go into labor before that. I'll be ringing my Dr in the morning to tell her of my decision. I'm fortunate enough at to have a supportive husband. My dad lives around the corner and can help with school drop offs, my mum said she's happy to help out and will take time off work and I've a few of the school and kinder mums who are great. I suppose then its just me who needs to get my head around it after3 lovely vaginal births. The other thing positive about a csec is that they can tie my tubes while in there. Thanks for listening, it really helps x

[ELP]

Hes a great gestation as his health is definitely no1:) I know its scary but your doing the right thing, you never know they may offer to induce you fully first then have the c/s standing by :)

[minimatron]

Thanks flava. They won't induce breech here, so its either spontaneous labor or csec. I don't think I'm scared of the procedure, I'm just worried about how I'll cope with 4 children and surgery, although I do have good supports, it will force meto actually not do anything and that might drive me insane...

[ELP]

Mini, how are things atm?? Did you arrange anything with the Dr!!

[minimatron]

I have a scan and a drs appointment today so I'll fill you in once I'm done. I had a few early morning pains over the past 2 days but nothing has eventuated. I'm really looking forward to having this baby. I feel a lot more calmer today. Thanks for checking up x

[minimatron]

Sorry I forgot to update.... So on Monday I had my scan which showed a similar result in that blood flows to the head were increased and now amniotic fluid has decreased as well. I have another scan on Thursday and if stable I'll have a stretch and sweep and if poor results I'll have a csec. If nothing happens by Monday I have another scan and either another stretch and sweep or ?csec. Its all kind of depending on scan results. I'll have baby soon though. I'm hoping to do it naturally particularly for recovery.

[minimatron]

I'm heading in to hospital... Nice regular contractions and a bloody show

[ELP]

OMG Mini!!! So excited for you!!!! I hope hes with you already or super soon :luck::luck: xxxxxxxx

[minimatron]

Ok I have a spare few moments but I'm on my phone so no pic, although I did post one up in the August who's left thread. Lachlan was born Wednesday August 14 at 957pm. That morning I had several large bowel movements and a bloody show, but nothing else. I took the girls to their swimming lessons that morning and started to feel crampy. I then went to the drs at lunch with my eldest and felt that something was starting, even the reception lady was concerned. At 1pm I took my middle daughter to kinder and told them I was going to have a baby very soon. They hurried me to go home lol. By 2 pm I was getting contractions 5-6 minutes apart. Had some trouble contacting dh but when I did he was hone quick. Is called the hospital and they wanted me in asap because of the breech position. By 3pm they were 2-4 minutes apart. We got to the hospital around 4 and I was 4cm dilated. I laboured til 9pm and was only 6cm. I was a bit upset because the contractions became hard and fast. At 915 my waters broke and thats when things went quick. I was told I had to breath not push for safety reasons with breech. It was so hard but I did it. I reme looking down between my legs seeing these little legs, a body and an arm just hanging there. It was amazing. Not long after he was born. He's so beautiful. He has an operation today for a hernia and is on antibiotics for his kidneys. Other than that he's perfect and I successfully birthed a breech baby with no issues.

[ELP]

What an amazing birth Mini!!! Welcome to the world little Lachlan:HH: Just gonna go and hunt down his pictures!!

[minimatron]

It's on page 10 of the August babies left thread. I'mon my phone so can't attach pics or links. Lachlan had surgery yesterday for his hernia and tongue tie. It went well. Am waiting on discharge this morning. I can't wait to get home. When I do, ill pop some more photos up. X

[Flava]

Hey ladies ! Went to the doc today Benjamin is 29.5 inch and 19.5 lbs. I really thought he he more because he is so heavy for me! Anyway doc says she don't think there is anything wrong with him he is just a little late with things that's it. Well with sitting up Only I guess. But we got a referral for mild developmental delay just to see what they say. So all is good but 1 of the teeth is coming and his nose is stuffy and he can't sleep good. I wish it would come out now! He never been this grumpy with the others.

mini-I can't wait to see your baby! Good that everything went well!!

[Pearl327]

Hi Flava. It sounds like your little man is growing well. Does he still like to be held a lot as that could account for his delay in sitting up. I did not crawl until I was a year old or walk until after 18months. I had 3 older sisters that carried me everywhere. My aunt had a baby in her 40s after having 3 kids in her late 20s. The older ones carried him everywhere and he was late with his gross motor development. At his development checkup the doc told them to leave him down on a playmat

My man is growing well too. He is 12lb 6oz already and 65cm in length. We have him in 3-6 month clothes already. He has also started sleeping 6hrs at night. He was 7 weeks yesterday.

Here are the two of them together
13582

[Flava]

pearl-your kids are very cute! Nice that they hang out together lol

Yes he likes to be held all the time! But no one wants to do it anymore! he is so heavy and really we are just tired of holding him all the time Im waiting for him to walk not to hold him like a new baby...
But he is down a lot scooting everywhere and now trying to pull his knees up and pull up on low shelves ect. It's no good because he fall back and we always have to be there watching him. He just bumped his head today again! :sigh::sad: I don't know why can't he be careful with his head already?? He should know he has one by know...Hopefully he will crawl soon.Not sure what's with the balance we will see.

[minimatron]

Hi ladies... Hope all is well. I'm sitting here pumping my boobs, seem to be my daily ritual as my little man still won't take my breast. It's awfully frustrating as I have a great supply. He even gets more worked up with the nipple shield. I expected this though as the girls were the same and.I put them on formula after a few.weeks of expressing. Even lactation nurses don't seem to help. Apparently I need to wait it out because my nipples are too large for baby so he has to grow first. Well Iexpressed for 8 weeks with dd3 and she still wouldn't take.it after growing so big. Is love to feed just one of them. Not much to ask? There's my rant.... Lol. Lachlan is doing well. Gaing weight. He's not a great night sleeper unfortunately but it will.come. he's got all his appointments for his kidney, hernia and hips at the end of September. The girls love him to bits...we all do.

Pearl, your kids are cute.

[minimatron]

Hey girls, been mega busy with my 4. Lachlan's 6 weeks old. He's having another hernia repair on Monday. He also suffers from reflux so we aren't sleeping well or getting much done. I'll post a photo or him and my girls x hope you're all well.

[dloui128]

You have a beautiful family mini! Reflux sucks, DD2 had it and it was awful

I had to switch her formula, which helped and also I put her in her little seat, not really sure what it is called so she would sleep upright and that also helped alot. But 3 months old the dr told me to put some rice cereal in her bottle and that was a blessing, for some reason it worked, not sure if it was the cereal though or she was just dealing with it better as she was getting bigger

[Pearl327]

Mini your kids are so cute. Lachlan is certainly keeping you on your toes still. Reflux can be very difficult for all. My nephew had it and he wouldn't sleep for more then half an hour at a time.

[minimatron]

Thanks girls. I switched him to novalac reflux formula and we have a different baby. He still chucks a lot but he's not screaming.
He's got surgery on Monday. I'll be glad when its done.

[Pearl327]

Good luck with the surgery mini. When your little one goes under it is very hard for the mums too. But babies are so resilient. When my DD had her op in May I didn't sleep for a couple of nights before.

[Pearl327]

Hi all. I haven't been on in a while. I am really enjoying my little family. ELP any sign of your little man wanting out?

How is everyone else doing

[dloui128]

Yeah ELP where is that little guy :)

[ELP]

He's still cooking!!!!! My dates we are 6 days over, but the midwifes dates had put me at 12 days over by theyre NT scan so they will be calling today with some kind of induction plan! I'm hoping for tomorrow as it has rain all day tomorrow and DH being a roofer won't be able to work anyway lol, so he can do the dreaded school run for me:bigsmile: Can't believe we are still cooking! I'm just praying not to have to deliver a 10lber!!

[Huds]

Goodluck elp.. Can't wait to hear when you have him. Its so exciting heard about birth stories. I have 9 weeks to go, feels like years. As baby's growing the more aches im getting. Im kinda worried as the midwife is sending me for a growth scan. Baby was measuring big when i went last, since then my belly hasn't grown much. My arguement is, both appointments were by different midwife and they both measured me differently. I just want Wednesday to be here so the sonagrapher can tell me something good.

[ELP]

Im on the induction ward atm! had a pessary a few hours ago so hopefully thing will start in the next few hours! scaty but exciting!!!!!!!

[Pearl327]

How exciting ELP. All the best of luck. I hope you are not waiting too long

[dloui128]

any news yet ELP

[Hobbermittens]

I'm waiting to hear too. ELP!!!!!

[dloui128]

Hopefully you are holding your little man in your arms by now ELP :)

[minimatron]

Trying to find anyone who was around when I swayed for my now 1 year old son... I know he's our last but I'm still getting my typical broody baby fever when my babies get this age-- only I know we're technically "finished". I don't think I'll ever get over wanting more- does anyone else feel that way? I wish I'd kept in touch after baby was born, but my due date group was pretty slow at the time and I just stopped checking in. I really thank GD for helping me get a brother for my oldest. He's over the moon in love and so happy to finally have the brother he wanted when I was having my girls.

I'm still around, my little guy turned 1 in December. I'm done having babies only because DH got the big V :(. If it was up to me I would of had at least 1 more. Is your DH open to having anymore babies?

I check in sometimes, not here as often as I used to be.... seems like manyof us get so busy with our babies we lose track of each other on here!

Glad to see you. WHen was your boy born? I know I should remember. My little guy is almost 17 months. I can't believe how quickly time has flown by!

Part of me is the sad at the idea of not having any more babies after this one, but I also have a very full plate with 4 kids, and I'm old now! I don't think we will have any more.

[Yahmama]

Hi Dloui & Hobbs! I remember both of you and glad to hear y'all are doing well! I was swaying when both of y'all were and my ds was born Feb 1 2013 so he's almost 13 months. Time has flown! I am torn bc I feel crazy busy with 4 to the point where I feel like I don't know whether I'm coming or going sometimes and forget stuff for my kids school, etc- yet I miss that snuggly baby stage already. DH would probably freak out if I told him I want more. I don't know. Maybe a couple years down the road. I told dh I didn't want either of us to do anything permanent yet and he did agree to that so I guess there's hope.

[Princess of Pink]

I'm still here...going to start trying again in about Nov...still don't have that boy! This will be my last. It is really lonely here now...everyone I know seems to have gone or rarely comes back here! I miss how it used to be...

[Yahmama]

Hey PoP! It's good to see you! How old is your youngest now? I'm trying to remember when everyone had their last LO. It definitely used to be very chatty in here and I was so happy to have others to talk to about the swaying stuff. I had gotten into the IG stuff and thankfully found my way over here after having a m/c with the first bfp I got from the swaying I did from the IG way. It's weird thinking that it was 2 years ago when all that happened. Like the blink of an eye.
Are you going to start swaying in Nov or make an attempt in Nov? I really deep down think the 15 pounds I gained between the m/c and 2 chemicals I had when ttc was the main reason I had my son. But now I'm still trying to work off all the extra weight. So much harder now I'm getting older- will be 35 this year. Yikes- I guess if I do want more babies it can't be very far down the road!

[Princess of Pink]

I have been swaying since January but will make the first attempt in November. My youngest is almost 8. I TTC for 6 months then gave up…then again at the start of last year for 2 months and took a break. Gonna get me a baby this time though, not giving up till I do!! Feel so much more ready to have a baby now and have a feeling it will happen this time because it feels so right to have one now. I have to hurry up because I am 35 too!

[Hobbermittens]

Hi POP! I hope your sway goes well. Waiting until November will be a long time--you sure you have the patience for that?

I miss it being chatty here too-- but I haven't kept up with people very well. Seems like most of the "old gang" got their babies and moved on... has anyone heard from ELP?

[Hobbermittens]

Yahmama and Pop, you aren't old. I had Sawyer when I was 39!!

[Yahmama]

PoP, I'll be here to be a cheerleader for you and send lots of sticky blue dust your way!!!
My mom also had me at 39 but I know my progesterone levels keep going down the older I am. With this last baby I had to start progesterone supps 6 days after ovulation. I had 3 m/c chemicals at 5 wks when starting the supps the first day of positive test so Dr had me take it before positive test and bam everything was fine. Not sure I could even get preggo again? It's sad to think about it being the end of no more babies!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

[Princess of Pink]

It's a scary thought to not be able to have another baby! I just want one more. So nice to see some of you ladies back here again, it was really awesome back then. I was planning on Nov as I really want a winter baby. I also have the Missy Muddy (like Tough Mudder but for girls) on in June and I don't want to be preggers when I do that. Then my 20yr High School Reunion (how bloody old am I lol) in July. Mirena out in August to let the body normalise again before attempt.

[Hobbermittens]

Won't November give you an August baby? Or do you mean being pregnant through the winter? WAIT, you're in Australia, sorry, I forgot!!

I had my 20 year reunion in 2011. I'm older than you!!

[Princess of Pink]

LOL…yep August is winter here. It gets so hot here that it's horrible having a summer baby, poor things spend their first months wearing nothing but a nappy and singlet. I just can't wait to get knocked up again, seems so long ago that I felt a little baby move inside my belly….super excited!! November is so far away, but I have a feeling it will go really fast. It seems like it was only just December and now it's March already!!!

[dloui128]

So excited your back PoP and I can't wait for you to be "up the duff" :)

[Yahmama]

Wow, so cool you're doing a mud run- I've got a lot of "single" friends without kids who are always doing fun runs like mud ones or even silly form and one was where you ate a dozen doughnuts at the end?!? I'm quite envious of their ability to do fun things like that while I'm covered with 4 kids! Hope you enjoy it! I graduated hs in 97 so my 20 year is coming up soon too! Hard to imagine it's been that long ago! So glad I'm not who I was back then, though--age does bring some good things I think! I used to be so shy and scared of new things, but since I've had kids especially they have taught me to be more adventurous and take time to enjoy new and exciting things! My oldest especially has never met a stranger and is so talkative I think he has taught me to be more friendly to random people like others in the store, etc. Sorry to ramble on! I'm sure the time will fly for you, though, PoP and sounds like you've got lots of distraction in the mean time!

Hi, Bec! I am so excited for you getting a chance to do high tech! Can't wait to hear all about it! xx

[Hobbermittens]

Hi Bec! I have was just wondering how you were! How exciting you are going HT!

[Yahmama]

Oh my, ladies- I think I've done a bit of something stupid and just have to vent because I can't tell anyone IRL! So, if anyone remembers me from TTC my #4, I had low progesterone issues (with all my babies) and had to end up taking it BEFORE getting a BFP for a sucessful pregnancy this last time. So, DH and I were on vacation and I suggested to him that we don't need to use any kind of BC since my body doesn't seem to make enough progesterone anyway to get a BFP without me monitoring my cycles,etc. I've never taken a pill or anything, but we always used condoms if not TTC. So, he agreed and said that would be great if we just don't have to worry about it. (sorry this is already getting long).
So, we DTD and I'm pretty sure I was right around ovulation because anyone like us who has tracked our cycles at length know the tell tale signs. Well, now I'm 10 days past when we DTD and I'm feeling preggo symptoms and am worried I've made a bad decision. (full, tender, achy breasts, which I NEVER get before AF unless I'm preggo) Somehow I was always able to "conceive" very easily but if I didn't take the progesterone I would have extremely early losses. So, I know more than likely I've conceived and if I just ignore it I will lose it just like all the others (6 total over the past 8 years). But then, I think, how moral is that to just not do anything about it? That has been my heart's desire is to just let something happen if it's supposed to happen, but if it doesn't, it doesn't and be fine with that. Should I try to test in a few days and if it's positive try to ask my dr. for progesterone? Even though last time I needed it after O but before missed period? Why put myself through the heartache if it wouldn't be enough anyway? Not sure if that makes sense, but I just had to put this in words some where safe. Don't want to tell DH because then he'll want to go back to condoms probably, which I despise. Neither of us wants to do anything permanent yet and I can't take anything hormonal for BC. Feeling pretty crappy right now for trying this :/

[Babybeaublue]

Should I try to test in a few days and if it's positive try to ask my dr. for progesterone? [/QUOTE]

This. Even though I have to say only you can really decide. I think if you at least try, if all goes wrong at least you won't feel like you should have/could have done something x

[Yahmama]

Thanks so much- I plan to test tomorrow-don't know what DPO, but it would be 13 days since DTD. I went to buy a test yesterday and had that super strange feeling buying a HPT! You know how it feels like everyone in the world is looking at you? And I boughts lots of extra things I didn't need to hide it in my cart, went to the self check out and the stupid scanner wouldn't work! Some guy came over to help try to fix it but it kept beeping, and I was like, I'll go to a different one, I don't mind, but he kept trying to fix it and he finally let me go to a different one. ANyway, I didn't even bother trying to take the $1 off coupon off the box b/c i just wanted to scan it sooo fast and get it in my bag. Then someone trys to help me out with my cart to put it back in place?! I'm like, no, I've got it! Then I get home and have an email from one of my DD's friends that she saw me at the grocery store but didn't get a chance to say hi....ahh, so now I"m freaking out wondering if she saw me get it off the shelf?!? Because I wanted to make sure to get a FRER and I actually got the last one there. ANyway, I"m going to test tomorrow. According to what I marked in my calendar for my last period, I'm due to start AF Tues or Wed, but who knows if anything woudl show up. All I know is it is all up to God whether I would get a sticky bean anyway because with my last, like I said in the previous post, I needed the progesterone between Ovulation and a + test. So, not sure even if I get a positive if things will work out or not I'm scared out of my mind right now what our families would think about 5 FIVE!! kids??? Especially after we've been telling everyone we're done and I've gone and sold or given away most of my baby stuff within the past year. oh, well, what's done is done...

[Babybeaublue]

Oh my goodness I'm the same buying tests!! Good luck let us know what happens!! This will be my 5th too and I am not looking forward to telling my parents think I'll get DH to do it lol

That's why I wish I could see signatures from the app my phone! I can't tell unless how many kiddos everyone has unless I get on the computer...I myself wouldn't mind more but just the comments from everyone! I think it's a good idea for your dh to tell :) I took a test this morning and it was a squinter of a positive. I remembered I still had an IC so I didn't take the FRER. Considering my period is due tomorrow it should be darker than a faint line so I'm about 99% sure it's a chemical like all my others before my last LO. I had to start progesterone at 6dpo with him to get a good implantation. Soooo, since I told dh I wouldn't go chasing after this monitoring my cycles I guess we're really and truly not meant to have anymore. :(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/ugumamyg.jpg

I hate the waiting game at least you should know for sure tomorrow. I got a neg cheapie the night before AF was due too but sure enough next day pos test :) if AF isnt there 2moro def take the frer x

[Hobbermittens]

yahmama, I just saw this. How did things work out?

[Yahmama]

Took the FRER this morning and it came up right away- I'm in total shock. I never got this dark of a line with all my "chemical" pregnancies before my 4th LO. I took the progesterone with him starting 6dpo. All I can keep saying is I'm shockedhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/29/e7uvase8.jpg

Yes, actually I'd love another boy! But of course before we ever had any I always wanted all boys, lol
Thank you all- I'm still super nervous that this will be a sticky one. I guess I never feel relief until I have an u/s to see for myself!

That's great!! So glad for you xx

[Hobbermittens]

How's everything going, Yahmama??

[Yahmama]

How's everything going, Yahmama??

I'm sooo incredibly tired and super hungry! Probably from the progesterone supps, but this is exactly how I was last time all through the 1st trimester without any ms. Hoping I escape it this time too but it's too early to tell since I'm only 5+1. First ultrasound on may 20. Can't come soon enough just to put my mind at ease a bit more! Oh, and I keep feeling the implantation getting I usually can feel the first couple weeks... Only I'm getting it in 2 separate places- over on each side?!? Freaking me out that it might be twins, but wouldn't I feel more sick?? I guess it's possible since I'll be 35 in a few months and your odds increase with age of releasing 2 eggs? Guess I'll find out for sure in 11 days...

[Babybeaublue]

Oh my goodness it might be twins!!!!! Keep me posted can't wait for u to get that scan! I'm really hungry too but prob because ms hasn't kicked in. Usually happens week 7/8 so im waiting each day now...

[Yahmama]

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/21/bute5yzu.jpg
Just one, whew! I really was worried bc I have also been SUPER hungry and mostly wanting meat! Maybe a sign it's another boy, but I think we're going to go team green. My next u/s is scheduled for when I'll be 12+6, though so maybe a glimpse at a nub won't hurt ;)

[Babybeaublue]

Oh yey!!! Bless that little blueberry lol I'm going team green too. I want to try to enjoy this pregnancy as it's my last. Can't wait to check out your nub pics tho!! X

[Yahmama]

Yay, a team green buddy! I've always caved before and found out so I really REALLY want to follow through this time for a surprise!

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

[Babybeaublue]

I didn't find out with my first and that didn't go well so I thought finding out and getting used to the idea would be better, but all that does is make the 2nd half of pregnancy miserable, and at least once baby is here it's do much easier to deal with. I always wanted a mixed family so this is my last shot. The only thing with not finding out is that neutral clothes are few and far between (and boring!) then when they are born I want them dressed in pink so the neutrals are out!

[Yahmama]

I never liked my girls dressed in pink lol- even though I found out I still registered for the green items or I bought them the few blue or purple girl items I could find. I've never been a girly girl myself and the thought of everything pink was overwhelming. But I loved all the girl clothes that were green with little pink flowers, etc. But not the bright everything pink look IYKWIM.

[atomic sagebrush]

:agree: I have tons of blue/green clothes for my daughter and I prefer them to the pink...I think she looks better in those colors and much MUCH easier to keep clean-looking! :)

[Hobbermittens]

Glad things are going well Yahmama! :) How are you feeling? I think going team green is the best. I wish I had done it all 4 pregnancies. The only pregnancy I found out with was DD2, and that was when my GD started.

[Babybeaublue]

I remember finding a blue silk dress in baby gap for DD3 I couldn't wait for her to wear it! I was really against pink when I found out dd4 was a girl, I'd just 'had enough' of it, but after she was born I didn't mind. I'm not overly girlie myself but luckily I do like pink! Hobbermittens that is exactly why I don't want to find out what this one is, I don't want GD ruining my last pregnancy.

[Yahmama]

Doing well, Hobbs- still hungry all the time and clothes getting tight so I need to go get some maternity clothes- still kicking myself that I have everything away! One friend gave me a few clothes but they are mostly size medium and I really need large :/ I don't like my clothes hugging my skin like they make them to show off your bump these days...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

[Hobbermittens]

Yahmama, maybe you should go to goodwill or another thrift store? I got some cheap maternity stuff from a consignment shop last time, and it was in good shape. No reason to buy anything new! How is your family doing with the idea of #5? Is your DH excited?

[Yahmama]

Yes, I did that this weekend, Hobbs- found some nice clothes! My dh seems excited and actually handling the stress of everything that needs to be done better than I am! We are trying to put our house on the market to hopefully sell before school starts back up in August bc we just can't squeeze another person in this house! Figured it's easier to show the house without baby things all over the place so that's why we're rushing now! Trying to pack up the house because people expect things to look like no one really lives here when they look at the house! Gonna be tough with the kids, lol!

Hello ladies :bigsmile:
Sorry for not posting in so long, things are absolutely hectic aroung here lately and I struggle most days to keep some kind of scrambled order lol! Little Henry is cute as a button and baby Dave is an absolute reckin machine!! We are half way through the loft conversion so hopefully the kids will be in their new rooms by the end of August, leaving only 2 in my room lol, we are now considering an extension on the side but that will be mega money!!
yahmama congratulations on your suprise bfp!!! and Hobbers if your around a big :hug2: you way Mrs:bigsmile: I'll try and pop back quicker next time but I get the crave whenever I pop on her and need to keep my brain out of thebaby fog fir just a little while longer, see y'all soon xxxxxxxxxx

ELP huni!!!!!
So glad to see you're still around!
I am currently pg with unplanned, but very much wanted No 4 :bigsmile:
Unfortunately, it seems it's a girl...big surprise...:rolleyes:

If you feel like it, I'll send you link with my u/s pics. tech said probably :DD: at 13 weeks scan.
Scull looks girly, pretty much exactly the same like DD3

[Pearl327]

Hi ladies. It has been ages since I was on. I went back to work in May and things were crazy since. ELP good to here from you.
Zivic congratulations, I come from a 6 girl family and I can honestly say it was great. I am hoping for a girl next time round as I cannot imagine my DD not having at least 1sister but that won't be for another year before we TTC. But I have 3 nieces or nephews due to tide me over until then.

[Zivic-Bubac]

Thanks Pearl! :happy:

[ELP]

Zivic, must be due any day soon!!!!!!!! Best of luck to you ZB, I ope you will hold your new little one very soon xxxxxxxxxxxx

How is everyone??? Merry xmas to you all if you manage to pass through this thread soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ELP!!! how is the little one? Are you planning on having another?

My little man is going to be two next month, I still can't believe it!!!! Do you have any pointers on potty training?

[ELP]

Mine are all great:) xxx
MIne have all been potty trained early, and have gone pretty much through the night dry straight away, apart from Dave! who is having alot of wet nights recently! So I looked it up and it said that if they do train too early they can cause problems for themselves by holding too long! So if your little man isn't showing any interest or not getting the hang of it then I would just wait another 3 months and know that in fact your possibly saving yourself and him from trouble down the line :agree: Maybe just have the potty around and wait for him to initiate more interest in it??

I don't know if there are an plans for more lol, which is a line I thought I would ever use!!! But coming on here is a real test:bigsmile: Any more for you!!! ;)

No more for us :( DH had a vasectomy. I would of liked a couple more, I wanted 4 DH wanted 2 so I guess we settled on 3.

He doesn't really show any interest in the potty yet, I just didn't know how to go about it, the girls were easy. Do I get a stool and have him stand or get him a little potty and have him sit?

[Pearl327]

Thanks Dloui. How are your 2women and little man doing.

We did a light girl sway this time but don't mind if it's pink or blue as my dream family is 2 of each so I will be going again after this one all going well.

They are really good, just really busy now, I swear the older they get the harder it gets. Its like something is always going on lol

[Yahmama]

He's so cute!!I pop on every once and awhile just to check to see if anyone I know has posted on here. My youngest is 7 months old now and it makes me sad thinking about the little years coming to an end, but I'm glad to be moving on with my oldest almost 9. I want to get to do things with him that you can't do with a little baby, so it's bittersweet!
