If breast feeding makes you hungrier than being pregnant. Breast feeding didn’t work for me. I do know, however, the being pregnant made me starving.
What it’s like to hold your baby immediately after birth. Both of my arms had IVs in them, one with saline, one with glucose/insulin with them stretched out like Christ on the Cross on those board things, so Simon held him for the first 20 minutes of his life while they stitched me up and unplugged me.
How to care for an umbilical stump. Adam’s was cut off by SCBU staff so they could put a line into his belly button. I do know, however, that cutting the stump off creates a slight outie.
If raising girls is easier or harder than raising boys. I will only ever have a boy. I do know, however, that my brother and sister in law have 2 very different girls.
Baby and Toddler groups. Everyone said I should go. I said no, I have nothing in common with those 20somethings except that we have children. Now, however, it’s a moot point because Adam gets plenty of interaction at nursery and I can continue to be a misanthrope.
What do you, as a mother, know nothing about and never will?
Pushing (had two sections).
What it is like to have spontaneous contractions. I had to be induced with both babies, despite my waters breaking with DS.
What its like to have girls – I can’t have any more due to my meds
What it’s like to hold Little One without residual panic – I worry I’ll drop him
What it’s like to be the prime carer – I work 4 days a week
What it’s like to enjoy cbeebies – I’m guessing I’m not alone on this one…
Oh, all these for me as well!
Except Cbeebies…I don’t mind it! :O)
What it feels like to have polite, clean and well behaved children, although the past behaviour would indicate otherwise I haven’t given up all hope.
I will probably never know what it’s like to have more than one child. Or not to have to work full time and let my child go to nursery or grandma’s
I’ll never know what it’s like to be a stylish pregnant woman. I pretty much looked like shrek in sweatpants the whole time.
What it’s like to have a girl.
What it’s like to have a child without special needs.
What it’s like to take my child to, and collect from, school every day – always worked full-time.
well I can help you with one and say that the boy/girl thing is totally dependant on the child. 4 boys here all really different personalities, not one of them the so called typical ‘sporty’ boy. The girl is her own person as well.
Pushing. Going naturally into labour. (Will be having a ELCS next time if there is a next time) Being able to afford to stay at home and look after my daughter.
