Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Storms last weekend slowed us down for a while.Quote:

The reason I tore so badly also was because DD1 was an induced posterior delivery (8 pound 8) and they had to do an episiotomy to get her out. They say tearing is always worse after one of those. DD2 was Frank Breech and 8 pound 8 (57cm long!!) and a week early by caesarian. It was very liberating to have a completely natural labour and birth and I did it with no drugs! (ouch).
Flava, I have my nuchal and cvs in 2 weeks today!!! Am so nervous and feel like time has virtually stopped. I have a question for you....did you have any different cravings with your son than with the 4 girls? Actually, anyone with a boy and lots of girls can answer this. I am going crazy fro meat (in particualr big macs which I would NEVER eat but now fantasize about). I actually ate a leftover chop for breakfast!!!!!!! I am normally a sultana bran and low fat yoghurt girl so this is freaking me out.
POP, I have exercised all through my previous 3 pregnancies and have only put on minimum weight and maintained good energy. Despite being an older Mum (32, 34 and 36) I always found that I only had 3 KG's to lose after the initial 6 weeks post baby and that came off quickly once I started walking regularly with the baby. If you are enjoying it, it will be doing wonderful things for you. Keep going!Quote:

Yep, he's Corwin <3 I love him so much, he is the sweetest baby! He is a little chunk, too. I still feel amazed to have him!Quote:

I was definitely hungrier I ate all the time! For the first 12 weeks I was so nauseous every night, I never threw up but I felt like it, and I had a bad temper, all these things were so different for me from my girl pregnancies
I got m/s with my boy but also with 3 of my girls. And i was very sleepy to had to take naps a lot. But I had low iron maybe that's why? I always have low iron...I don't think I was hungrier this time but I was the biggest because of the HE diet.
I didnt have ms at all with DD i got it mildly with this one, especially if i would get hungry, hence eat all the time, that went away at about 10 weeks. I got heaps of pimples on my face this time around and napping a lot too.
Sounds like me this time Dloui - you are keeping my hope alive! MS and hunger are the same as you but I am less angry this time, was more quick tempered and less patient with the girls pregnancies. Had another dream last night where someone mentioned the twins room....!! I am sure it's just my subconscious anxiety over twins manifesting into dreams as my psychic ability is notoriously bad. I even considered pretending I've got cramps and going to hospital just to have an ultrasound and check there's just one there but even I am not slack enough to do that to the public hospitals - they are understaffed and overworked as it is. Sigh...am patient with the kids but it seems not this one yet...what are you little bean????Quote:
