I got the all clear but I apparently have a small granuloma from scar tissue - did anyone else have that? It explains the tightness/uncomfortableness I've felt!
Yup, I had one with DS1 down there and actually both boys have had umbilical granulomas, we are treating DS2's right now. Did they just use silver nitrate on you? It should heal up quickly, might need a couple applications depending on size but they respond quickly and the discomfort will be gone. I had no clue I had it bc I followed Dr's advice to just not look down there as it wasn't pretty. Ha.
Thinking of you and your mom holliberry28, glad the prognosis is positive.
They told me to wait two-four more weeks and see how it felt. She said she felt it would go away on its own.
I had my PP appt today and my MIL is here all week. Luckily I like my MIL but I can't really wait until it's just LO and I again, our little family of three. I feel like have to entertain, then realize she just wants to hold the baby - perfect I can do chores/shower/read a book - but I still feel like I'm "on" ... It's hard work!!

Is anyone else still healing down below? I'm 8 weeks pp and still have an uncomfortable tear. It's red but not infected just like it was at my 6 week checkup. They said it should finish healing on its own but at this rate it will be another month!

I have the granuloma which is super uncomfortable. Plus now I started bleeding which I'm hoping is just due to her poking around and not my period!
erbear Isn't it sad??? O is in between sizes right now. I can still get some of her newborn stuff on, but it's noticeably too tight, and the 0-3 month stuff is mostly all too big! Poor girl!!
Guys, my baby's sleeper is getting too small. Sob! She's finally growing out of newborn sizes!
This just happened to me while we were on vacation...put a footless NB sized sleeper on DD and I swear it was 4in too short! It fit when I packed it 2 days prior!!
Wow. Train wreck evening. After our row, DH proceeds to invite ILs for dinner which only ever means one thing - me catering and no one lifting a finger. Sometimes they bring ingredients for me to cook (for which I'm grateful but...) Today MIL smacks a bag of veggies on the counter and tells me to "do what you can with those" and parks herself in front of he TV. So LO screams all eve, I'm trying to cook and MIL won't pick him up b/c its "too hot to hold him". Meanwhile DH and FIL consume 5 beers each (FIL cannot take his alcohol...3 and he's wasted), sit outside in crazy heat drinking no water and both end up with heat stroke. FIL has puked all over my bathroom numerous times and DH is splayed dramatically across the bed, while, you guessed it, I clean up dinner, the sick in the bathroom then bath and feed baby.
Its 11pm and they're still here. I've retreated to the bedroom again. Why u no leave?!
Where's that nope-tapus when you need it? Time for a come to Jesus talk with your husband. This cannot continue.

Joolschweets Holy hell, I would be in the car with the baby and out for the night. That's another level of bullshit. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Heads would be rolling. Seriously. Sounds like you have more than one child on your hands.
holliberry28 So sorry to hear about your mom. T&Ps are with you.
Joolschweets I would absolutely lose my shit in that situation. Tell your in laws to cook for themselves and the whole FIL puking up the bathroom is beyond ridiculous. I hope you have a better day today.

This is me too! I don't know what to dress this poor kid in! We leave for vacation a week from Sat and I'm going to cry if she's not big enough for all the cute stuff I bought her!

Yes. This exactly. I tore up one side, and itt still hurts to sit in certain positions. I was telling DH about it the other day, and explained that it just kind of "aches" all the time- it sometimes actually hurts if I wipe or my underwear rides up weird. My OB didn't think it was an issue either- but it better return to normal or DH is never getting any action! Hope you start feeling better soon.
Ok. Does the 6 week growth spurt typically end at 6 weeks? We are at 5w 3d and this child has been hellacious the last few days. I am praying the growth spurt doesn't START at 6 weeks, because I don't think I can deal. If he's not on the boob, he is screaming bloody murder. It's awful. Please send quiet, calm, sweet baby vibes to us today- we're flying to the Northeast tonight. 5 hours on the plane. Either he sleeps or everyone is going to want to kill us. Nice way for DH and I to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary haha!

Ugh. This is the epitome of terrible evening. I'm sorry. Your DH owes you big time.

kemdupuis, I called my MW today and they're having me come in. They said if it hasn't healed at all they may refer me to have it "fixed". I'm not sure what that means. Hope you heal up soon too!!

kemdupuis, Oh yeah, I meant to also mention that DB's "6 week" growth spurt definitely ended around 6 weeks for us. In fact, he turned a huge corner after 6 weeks and by 7 weeks was a totally different baby!
We got about 4 days with some newborn clothing. He's starting to outgrow 0-3 month clothing (also there can be a big difference in brands size wise!). I just realized today that kiddo is entering the 6 week growth spurt - only wants to eat/sleep and his naps are frequent but short. I thought it was because my in laws were in town and visiting (lots of holding the baby and I think waking him up...) but I'm guessing it's the spurt
