  6. My latest baby was similar He seemed to get mOre used to It from about 8m I think small babies can feel Very lonely if they are rear facing and can't see any familiar faces It must be very scary, if you think about it Sorry that's not much help in the short term
  7. I hope they are able to support each other. Tragedy can Leave people so alone with their grief Hs, your friend is lucky to have you there to care for her, when she is ready
  8. Yes Otta, you are right and I hadn't forgotten. But the father hasn't given instructions not to contact him, so probably the only way to confirm the funeral arrangements It's so terribly sad for them both, for all their family. Something nobody should have to go through.
  9. Please See Me Through My Tears Kelly Osmont You asked, "How are you doing?" As I told you, tears came to my eyes . . . And you looked away and quickly began to talk again. All the attention you had given me drained away. "How am I doing?" . . . I do better when people listen, though I may shed a tear or two. These feelings are indescribable. If you?ve never felt them you cannot fully understand. Yet I need you. When you look away, when I?m ignored, I am again alone with them. Your attention means more than you can ever know. Really, tears are not a bad sign, you know! They?re nature?s way of helping me to heal . . . They relieve some of the stress of sadness. I know you fear that asking how I?m doing brings me sadness . . . but it doesn?t work that way. The memory of my loved one?s absence is with me, only a thought away. My tears make my loss more visible to you, but you did not cause this sadness. It was already there. When I cry, could it be that you feel helpless, not knowing what to do? You are not helpless, and you don?t need to do a thing but be here for me. When I feel your permission to allow my tears to flow, you?ve helped me. You need not speak. Your silence is all I need. Be patient . . . do not fear. Listening with your heart to "how am I doing" validates what I?m going through, for when the tears can freely come I feel lighter. Talking to you releases what I?ve been wanting to say aloud, clearing space for a touch of joy in my life. I?ll cry for a minute or two . . . then I?ll wipe my eyes, and sometimes you?ll even find I?m laughing in a while. When I hold back my tears, my throat grows tight, my chest aches, my stomach knots . . . because I?m trying to protect you from my tears. Then we both hurt . . . me, because my feelings are held inside, causing pain and a shield against our closeness . . . and you, because suddenly we?re emotionally distant. So please, take my hand and see me through my tears . . . then we can be close again
  10. How terribly sad. What she must be going through. I think if I were you I would send a card, expressing your sadness And stating your hope that she will contact you when she feels ready. Then contact her partner to get details of the funeral so you can send flowers
  11. I think sb's advice is spot on
  12. I think this is fairly common, certainly my first child (weaned 17w) did just that It was a bit like the novelty wore off/he developed an independent streak that he has to this day I think you will have to Persist with the finger foods/look into blw I have found with all of mine they loved to copy me - so offer him things and eat them yourself .... Plus try him with a tommee tippee cup, no Lid, with a few blueberries in, or an inch of pur?e and a spoon to self feed Baby Bjorn round plastic spoons (Amazon) are pricey but very good for early self feeding You can also serve pur?es with pasta spirals, if ready to start wheat (or get corn pasta)
  13. In my 4 night (!!!!) stint in the side bay on the labour ward last time round, there was a fresh batch of women arrived each evening and started off with the pessary. But when I was inpatient in antenatal, there were women there too in the early stages of induction. I am sure the timing/location must depend a little on the situation behind the induction (as well as space) When induced with my twins, they said they only induce twins in a labour ward room
  14. Pommie, would you find it useful to have a meeting with the supervisor of midwives or one of your comsultant's team, and talk through what you can expect? I found that incredibly useful to reduce my anxiety and help me feel less out of control
  15. Pommie, I was already an inpatient for both my inductions, but I believe that usually they admit the mother so that they can try the gel/pessary overnight because it's not unusual for it to take several doses for the cervix to soften up enough for them to break your waters... You get the chance to sleep while things get underway (think they might even do it in the antenatal ward) The downside is that your partner can't stay overnight and I have heard anecdotally that sometimes midwives on the antenatal ward are a bit disbelieving when in fact, things are moving very quickly For high risk inductions, they wait until a room is available in the labour ward, and your partner can stay throughout
  16. Southwark doesn't have Any lea controlled secondaries
  17. 4 months is a wonder week/sleep regression for sure The Brain and its sleep patterns changes profoundly
