Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

OK, now I'm gonna try and catch up

I give up with the pics...

I think its another boy and it does look an awful lot like Oliver I think, even the gynae said it looks like him lol.

Thanks for your input Vix, I am completely terrified of a C-sec (too many reasons why to list) and I really don't want to have one if it can be avoided but I also don't want to be pig headed about it and go natural and then cause myself more damage than necessary. Theo is extremely understanding and I know he'll support me what ever I decide but in the same breath Oliver's birth took a very heavy toll on our sex life because it was so uncomfortable for me for such a long time afterwards, we really only started getting back to normal just over a year after he was born and even then its not as nice for me as it used to be and I have to be fussy about position otherwise it gets uncomfortable (sorry if this is tmi for some of you). I'm scared if I go natural then it'll be even worse second time round not to mention the possibility of causing problems later in life as a result of childbirth.

I am doing all the exercises etc but I know my muscles aren't as strong as they were before. I think a lot of my problem with Oliver was that because of the epidural I had absolutely no idea when to push and even though I though I thought I was pushing I wasn't actually doing a very good job so he was delivered rather forcefully with forceps (this is going to sound like a nightmare but it wasn't bad at the time at all because I couldn't feel a thing), Theo had to hold me on the bed whilst my gynae pulled Oliver out, god that sounds awful but it really wasn't lol. Physically I was up and about 2 hours after he'd been born and everything was kinda ok, it just took longer than the usual 10 days to properly recover from the stitches and then I wasn't brave enough to try intercourse until about 3 months after and even then the first few times were so sore I cried my eyes out.

Anyway, I'm going to try not think about it all too much for now, even if I go natural something could happen ending in C-section anyway so I know I have to think about it from all angles irrespective, I'm just daunted that I might have to make what to me will be a huge decision...

Hi ladies

Angie sorry about the bad night. I recon you should have him checked out as Dylan was the same and has an ear inf. He finished his antibiotics and slept through last night even with teething.

Lisha it is very important to actually finish the antibiotics. The reason being that the bacteria need the full course or the germs mutate making drug resistant germs.

Thanks so much for all your help ladies.xxx

Helen I totally understand how you feel, but remember your doc can only guesitmate the size and majority of moms say they birth the second baby quite easily even when they are bigger, but see how it goes and do what you feel is best. xxx

the baby is so sweet Helen. No clue what it is.

Enigma your son is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Helen i say it`s a BOY
