Hi! I’m more of a cross stitcher than embroiderer but I enjoy it and would like to get more techniques and better at different stitches. I’ve seen the fabric books that you stitch into to learn but I’ve also seen lots of posts here from people who have been gifted them and they’ve turned out to be AI and a bit non sensical. Does anyone have any recommendations for legit ones? I’m in the UK. Thanks all 🙂
I gave birth via c-section 6.5 weeks ago. No bleeding for the first week then standard blood loss for the next three weeks. It completely stopped for a few days then I had what I assumed was a period for 5 days or so which was my usual period. I’ve had four days off and now another period has started. I’ve no cramps and no heavy bleeding, which is normal for me. We are formula feeding. I’ve tried googling this but it keeps taking me to posts about the ‘post partum period’ rather actual periods. Is this normal and has anyone had this? It feels mad to have had two periods in two weeks but there has been clear breaks between all the bleeding with it getting progressively lighter as time has passed as you’d expect for a normal period. Our GP check up isn’t for another two weeks. Thanks ladies!
Firstly, I recognise this is somewhat irrational and I have lots of support from the mental health team, so I’m more looking for practical advice.
My baby is 5 weeks old. I’m finding people, but particularly grandparents, really overwhelming and I’m stressed about him being touched. I think it’s maybe because friends hold him for a bit and give him back, but we’ve had to ask our parents to leave on their first visit. This time I again had to ask my mum to leave because she just ignored me and held the baby for 45 minutes, and I also had to ask my MIL for him back because she’d had him for an hour and it was making me stressed. I feel like they feel some sense of entitlement over taking him because he’s their grandson but he’s my baby. I’m not even worried about something bad happening I just don’t like it. We have tickets to a show in June and have asked family to babysit but I hate the idea of someone else feeding or changing him and I don’t know why. Has anyone else felt like this or am I being crazy? And if you have, how did you get over it?
