Yes it’s a ballache, sorry. the good thing is that summer is coming and shirred dresses are still in the shops, they work really well.It's been 15 weeks of trying to wear clothes suitable for breastfeeding. It's becoming a chore at this stage. I really miss wearig what I want
I'm having one of those moments where I'm over it 🫠
I get you, I pretty much hated it the whole time x
Any csection mums not complete their blood thinner injections? I wasted one by accidentally shooting it over the floor but when I saw a MW on day 5 and asked she said “I’m not medically trained so I’m not sure whether it’s ok to miss it or not” 
then I forgot about it until today when I’m supposed to take the last one and the box is empty. I’m not sure whether I’ll be ok to go without or whether I should try and get hold of someone to try and get another.

Thanks! I won’t panic and try to get a replacement then 
they are really horrible! Probably the worst part of the csection recovery for me

The blood thinners are a precaution in case you're immobile for the course of them, to prevent clots forming. If you're moving around then missing the final dose shouldn't be an issue but if you're worried you could call a pharmacy for adviceAny csection mums not complete their blood thinner injections?

Oh this is a relief, I only done about 5 injections, forgot most days 
I’m a proper fanny and can’t inject myself and made my partner do it and he nearly threw up everytime

I think the advice if you missed one was wait until the next one was due but mine were twice a day.Any csection mums not complete their blood thinner injections?

Errrr… yes, the biggest pisser of my VBAC was I still came home with the bastards. Furious.Thanks! I won’t panic and try to get a replacement then
I’ve been moving around loads since day 3 at home so hopefully that should be ok thenDo you feel up to moving around today?

Another question - how do you remain polite when strangers are fussing over your baby and asking questions?
I want to be like “duck off Dorothy, I don’t really know you, get your face out of my baby’s face and stop asking questions about him” but realise I probably shouldn’t 
omg we’ve been stopped by so many people!!! I must have had the same convo with about 30 old women who stuck their head in the pram yesterday! And I’ve never heard the expression ‘she’s a little dot’ before but apparently it’s popular among the oldies. Also some people ask some personal questions!! I picked my four year old up yesterday and his stand in teacher was quizzing me all ‘how much did she weigh?’ ‘was she prem?’ ‘are you feeding herself yourself?’ ‘why did you give birth so early?’ Mind your own business luv and just tell me my babies cute!!I’ve been moving around loads since day 3 at home so hopefully that should be ok then

Luckily we didn't have too much of that (questions yes, but not shoving their face in the pram!) but maybe say something like "he sometimes gets upset when strangers say hello, it scares you doesn't it poppet!" and then lean past them to stroke his face so your arm shoves them out the wayI’ve been moving around loads since day 3 at home so hopefully that should be ok then

Are you feeding them yourself is the most annoying question!!! Yes I am feeding him myself with a bottle of formula!!! Back off nosey Parkersomg we’ve been stopped by so many people!!!

I should have replied something like yeah we share a can of red bull or something mad like that
Baby L was 3 weeks early so I still had a whole bag of them at home and got sent home with loads as well! They hung around the house for about 6 months while we tried to get someone (pharmacy or council) to take them

I call my eldest my diddy dot I must be a granny my only advice is to wear a vest underneath everything so you can lift your jumper/tshirt up and pull the vest down (then you don’t have your entire stomach exposedIt's been 15 weeks of trying to wear clothes suitable for breastfeeding.

)I found most “nursing friendly” clothes ugly/tit so you have to get creative unfortunately
It's so true that people stop checking in with you once baby hits 6 months. It's like the novelty wears off. I haven't heard from some people in 3 months in fact and when I do it's all about them. My best friend has met baby once and every message she sends me is all about her. Hasn't mentioned the baby once. I know I shouldn't let it get to me but it does tbh.
