Hi everyone smile
I just wanted to share my happy news that my ds who turned 1 just over a week ago is now WALKING!! He'd been walking like 2 steps at a time for the last few weeks but now is proper walking with no help.
So very proud of my special boy smile

YAY! How exciting is that. Love first steps and learning to walk. SO memoriable and exciting.

Thanks Skippy, man they grow up too quick don't they laugh I love watching him walk. Every now and then he gets the wobbles but he seems to control them and then he's off again.
We got a walker for him but he never liked it much and soon as he learnt to crawl at just before 7 months he never wanted to go in it. That was an expensive piece of baby furniture lol.

yay how awesome clever little man smile

Thanks Isaiahs mum. He is very proud of himself and keeps waiting for us to video him lol

I know right! We bought a walker too and never really used it. Mostly because our babe walked at 7 months but so much money for no use hey.
But, if you have another child atleast you've got one already.
I miss those bits, all the firsts. They're so adorable and make you all squishy inside.

Yeah they certainly make your heart melt smile And thats what I was thinking save the walker for next bub but dh doesn't want any more kids sad I'm secretly hoping for one more and if I'm lucky enough(don't use birth control as it doesn't agree with me) then bub would have no walker as we are giving it away.

Thanks hun he keeps doing funny little grins and is waiting for us to say how wonderful he is smile Which of course he is laugh

I did want to ask if you planned onn more children or not but thought no, shan't ask, seems a bit too foward to do so

My dh reckons I will never want to stop having kids and is concerned if I have another one as I've already had 3 caesareans and he's worried of something going wrong. Maybe he's right and I'll always want more but who would blame me they are so darn addicting laugh laugh Oh well it's my only addiction so I think it's a fairly good one to have laugh

YAY!!

Addiction to kids. If he won't let you have nay more, maybe you'll need to go to kids annonymous, for the mothers that dont ever want to stop breeding wink
I dont blame you. I like the little terrors too. I just don't like it when they come tearing out of my nether regions. Gosh that hurts something bad.
laugh laugh laugh
Who knows anyway, when your youngest has grown more he himself may miss babies and get you pregnant all over again. But i'm saying this with NO knowledge of the risks of multiple cesarians. So i'm not quite aware of what hes so worried about.

AAwwww Congratulations How wonderful !

Yeeee!
What a clever little boy grin they grow up way too fast sad

Thanks hun he keeps doing funny little grins and is waiting for us to say how wonderful he is smile Which of course he is laugh

Aww isn't that adorable wub

Aww isn't that adorable wub

Yeah I think he is lol

After I had ds and had just got to my room from recovery the obstetrician turned to my dh and said this had better be the last or she'll die having another one WTF!!! Certainly took the joy out of enjoying the first moments together as a family. Then the next day one of the midwives said to him if he impregnates me(made me feel like a cow) then it will be all his fault when my caesarean scar ruptures and I die.
So needless to say he's scared of that happening. I've since found out those people are against bigger families and that there is a small risk but I would be monitored closely if I did have another bub.

Theres a difference being anti-large family and telling someone something not entirely accurate and scaring the life out of them.
It IS a scary prospect though. Isn't it. The thought of a scar rupturing like that. You know what, this has got me interested. I think i might Google and see what it says about multiple cesareans.

Yeah sometimes I think am I taking to much of a risk. When they took ds out they said my scar was very thin but because they make a new sacr when stitching it up it doesn't nessesarily mean it will be thin again. The doctors I've spoken to since then say that I'd have regular scans to monitor the thickness and if need be they may deliver around 36 weeks. My first was delivered at just past 36 weeks and she was fine just little so I'm not worried of that.
Oh well what ever will be will be Che Sera Sera lol

Que Serra Serra - What ever will be will be. <<< Had to sing that a bit in my head. Love that.

Would it make a differance the longer you left it, would the scar heal more and be less likely to rip? Like say you waited maybe say 5 years to get pregnant again? Or does time not matter?

I knew my spelling was wrong lol but now I can't get it out of my head lol
What I've been told is that any time after 12 months is fine on scars and the fertility specialist I saw with my eldest and the twins said really any time after 6 months is fine. For myself I feel if I don't get pregnant in the next 12 to 18 months I won't have anymore as by then ds would be bigger and we'll want to start going more places with the kids. And as you know babies tend to ground you for awhile till they're bigger.

Yes, I do know. We are about to start all over again so we will be grounded for a few years longer.
Ah well, time will tell what you chose to do and if your Husbands fears subside enough.
To know the future, how interesting would it be!

Naw I love the way they toddle when they have just learnt to walk- like little penguins trying to run!!! So cute

That is really rude blink I have a friend who has had 6 c-sections. Ok, there are risks with each one but it certainly is possible.

Yeah I was surprised and shocked. I also feel angry as before dh was a definate to have one more child. Thanks for contributing I find it interesting to know how many caesareans people have had. smile smile

Yes - I would of been annoyed, especially as it is such a off-putting thing to say to a husband who wouldn't want his wife hurt in anyway.

I don't know about the age gap though, this friend had 4 within 6 years!!! then a big gap of nearly 10 years before having two more close together.

How exciting smile definitely my fave milestone!
