Link to the OLD THREAD

Welcome Ladies to the new thread - The older one hit 200 posts awhile ago, just been to busy to make a new one...

How is everyones new year going so far? - Introduce yourself, if your new...

Little bit about me:
Names Nikita or Keta - whichever...Im a mother of 2 - Olivia and Dominic. Married July last year, we have a friend living with us atm, which at times is very stressful. Olivia is fully toilet trained - shes comming up to 4 this March, so i was starting to worry if she'd ever get the hang of it - but alas

Dominic is a spitting image of daddy, yet my additude which isn't all that complimenting (on my behalf

) he will fight to the death over the smallest things, so i generally give into him

Welcome Rachel and Lucy to the YM (Young mums) thread

Rachel - Im feeling for you with all this hot weather, being 35 weeks pregnant (i was in your place 4 years ago lol)- you poor thing. Are you guys down in SA being effected by the floods?

Lucy - As far as im aware, we did have a YM with girl/boy twins, but she hasnt posted in awhile. Hope you get some much needed sleep soon hun

**rtyrrell** · 23-01-2011, 05:45 PM

no we haven't been effected by any floods here
and im now 37 weeks and going through early labor however its a waiting game 4 me as my cervix isnt dilating yet...my lower back is killing me and the contractions i get suck lol.
fingers crossed things progress soon.

**MummaCandy** · 23-01-2011, 07:19 PM

oh my goodness - GBH!!!!!

I was in pre-labour for 3 weeks with DD... I ended up at the hospital twice due to the contraction pains. I laboured in my back with her, and god was it awefull - i would rather labour in the front like i did with DS then the back anyday. Worst pain ive ever felt
How was your birth with DS? Quick? drugfree? any problems?

**rtyrrell** · 24-01-2011, 05:09 PM

ive ended up in hospital twice to 4 pain it sucks as all they do is send u home with panadol fort and say wait it out and deal with the pain
on the bright side i started loosing my mucous plug today

as for with my ds my hind waters actually broke a week early and i went in 2 hospital that night, the next morning they broke the fore waters i went in 2 full on labor for 7 hours all up and none of the drugs worked on me so had 2 go drug free which was painful

Well hello...i did join the last one but it was when i was brand new to the whole forum and didnt really understand how it worked, then when i went back in it was like pages long and i felt like an intruder haha

So anywho, my name is Shannon im 23 + 1 (i dont like even numbers so decided to stay 23 for another year haha), im engaged to a wonderful man, we'll be celebrating our 8 year anniversary this june and we're proud parents of beautiful little Ruby who turned 1 about 2 weeks ago.

Im currently a SAHM but have applied for a number of part time reception jobs hoping to get a few hours a day, a few days a week just for a bit of extra $$, have had a few rejections, still waiting to hear from others.

Ruby is still being breastfed but its been brought to my attention that im in a bad habit of feeding her to sleep and that i need to change this routine but the only problem is i dont know how to get her to sleep other than feeding....so DF and i are going to try and come up with some ideas and try a few things out and see where we end up

So thats me, thats where im at for the moment

**MsBoop** · 24-01-2011, 07:23 PM

Rachel, good luck with your labour...i hope its progressing a bit more for you

**MummaCandy** · 28-01-2011, 01:36 PM

Shannon - YAYYY, i see you got a new username??? A suggestion for Rudy's feeding. mmm where to start? What i did with my DS (he would wake just for a bottle and wouldnt go to sleep without one) is i would give him a 'dream feed' about 9-10pm before we went to bed, and if he woke of a night, i would only give him water in a bottle.... it worked for me, and i think its because, they wake wanting milk, so if you give them something they dont want, they go back to sleep (mind you, the first few nights/week is a total B!tch getting them back to sleep), and over time he stoped waking for something he didnt want... if that makes sense??

Rachel - w00h00 for mucus plug... ..
