Determined DD! I LIKE THAT!!!! Definately, she is just a determined DD B, your sway was fantastic so if you do choose to sway again I personally wouldnt even change anything you did!! So thats me, 3pink1blue, Flava and Begonia all going again!! Fantastic!!!!!!!! I'm sorry ladies I just know that you should all have just 1, ok maybe 2 more each

[ELP]

ELP- really how do you do the night times? Or all your babys sleep thru the night? I was always scared of the night time because I do really bad with no sleep. So I was like really no more babys i don't want to be a zombi!
With this baby is easier because DH helps out at night feeding him. I have little milk...Anyway no clue how you do it lol no way I would have another baby.
Today he only got a bottle at 3pm but poor thing was so hungry.

Everyone else do BF only ? Maybe Im the only one with low milk here.

Flava, our nights are terrible! We have 3 kids in our small room with us, I'll post a pic later on One DD sleeps through, the other DD gets in the bed about 3 times a night, DH starts moaning so I have to put her out 3 times a night. Between her 3 visits Davey starts moaning for a quick comfort suckle about 3 times a night! Then I put him back in his cot about 3 times a night!!! Plus DH rant coming on here! He wont turn the telly off until about 11-12 pm everynight! And I cant drop off listening to it! So nights are pooooooooooh!!!! But, it has always pretty much been like this?? So I have just got used to it As long as every now and then I have a fluke night with a block of 4-5 hours sleep then I can keep the stress of it all under control. I say to myself when its rough 'Well I wanted them!' and if I do moan DH reminds me 'Well you wanted them'

I full time b/f but my supply is rubbish aswell, I think thats why nights have always pretty much been a constant battle with the babies. But luckily my children naturally dont grow fast either so I dont feel too guilty I have started to give Davey formula more regularly now plus weaned to food at 4 months and am trying to remember to bring him up a bottle at night and just move it back to him in the cot at nights now so he stops sneaking in the bed, but if I forget then its so cold downstairs that I cant be bothered to go down and get it and instead accept another yoyo night on the cards I must get more organised!!!!

Ugh, vacation is over, AF has returned. For the first time since my early 20's she is no longer a sad omen or one less in a count down to ttc. Each pregnancy has changed my periods, going from terrible cramps to none and a horrifically heavy flow for 2-3 days to a tolerably heavy one for 3-4. Well this time I'm having bad enough cramps to take something, crazy bloating and headaches and oh god must have chocolate! I haven't been like this since before dd1, I think the boy broke me lol

I just noticed, this was my 1400 post!

Just read back to this post Jen, ugh that sounds uncomfortable!! With the knowledge floating about the site on herbs and vits is there anything that can help this?? Does vitex help with this????? I know that taking fish oil atm has made my af very fluid, it literally pours! sorry for tmi! So avoid that one

Mocha - I can't believe your dd is 2 months old already, such a cutie!

I can't believe it either. I'm savouring every moment with her, though.

ELP - your nights sound a lot like mine, except that my little Sadie is the least disruptive one of the bunch. Two of my boys play musical beds all night constantly sneaking into our bed, then when dh starts grumbling I have to bring them back to their own rooms only to have them come back an hour later. We really can't fit in our Queen bed, so I often find myself pinned between the two of them and so uncomfortable I can't sleep.

begonia-Sure you can have a boy too just like everyone else. I also swayed 3 times for a boy and the first 2 was girls and I thought for sure I never get a boy. So it did not come to me easy.

I also wonder what is with babydes? She is just gone too..

[Flava]

3pink-great that you have so much milk. I also have to eat and drink a lot and still not much milk .I tried all the tricks already with my girls and nothing helps.So i give formula because I don't starve my babys. And no way I lose any weight until I BF .Only after I stop it's so annoying really.I see some girls just BF and slim down but not me.

ELP-omg night time does not sound so good at your place. I would go crazy ! I can only sleep alone even DH is bothering me because he snores. So i don't mind if he sleeps on the sofa... The babys only slept in the bad for a little while when I was BF and that's it. So they are not use to come in my bed at all and I like it this way lol.


Anyone have a girdle? I have the bellefit and this is the first time I got one. But I don't think it helps ? Like ok Im smaller because at first I could not even put it on but I think I just lost weight in the first week after i had the baby like I always do and not because of the girdle. I wear it every day but no difference at all no more loosing and I think it will stay this way until I BF like always. I even use to sleep in this thing but not anymore because Im sick of it...anyway how long we suppose to wear this thing? It was a bunch of $ and now I wish I never got it.

[Flava]

I just read back at the beginning on this thread too and there are so many others who are gone and never came back at all. I did not even remembered all the names...:-(

[Mochagirl]

Flava - I used the Bellefit this time. I'm quite happy with it and am still wearing it now at 2.5 months postpartum. For the first 6 weeks i wore it 24 hours per day. I don't think it's a miracle product by any means, but in the very least it made me feel a little less self conscious by hiding my saggy tummy. I also have definitely lost the weight more quickly this time (which is a good thing since i gained almost 70lbs!), but that's definitely due to diet and not the girdle. I started in a size medium (which was very hard to do up at first) and within 2 weeks could just squeeze into a small.

I have the Bellefit too, and it helps hold stuff in, but hasn't shrunk anything. I can't imagine it will at this point. I do wear it daily, though, because I have busted out my abs having babies, and look pregnant all the time when I am not. So the girlde helps me look a little better. But when I take it off, my belly pops right back out again!

[Hobbermittens]

Begonia, PLEASE don't feel like a "loser"! You absolutely are NOT. You just have a "determined DD" (as 3P1B said!), who very much wanted to be a part of your family! There is no reason you couldn't have a boy for #4 if you try naturally. I can see why you wouldn't want to do HT, feeling that way about left over embryos. I hope you get your boy one way or another. I like adoption. I babysit for a little boy who is adopted, and I think it is such a cool way to make/expand a family!
