Sterilisation
Looking to hear about other people's experiences on sterilisation. I was sterilised on Saturday. Before I went in I was told the surgery will take roughly 30 mins and the pain would be minimal. However it took 2 and half hours and the pain has been excruciating, I'm also getting more swollen since its been done and bleeding more vaginally (but not heavily) I ended up staying in over night because my blood pressure dropped drastically, and I wasn't responding to any of the pain medication. I have no explanation for any of this, as I was moved wards pretty quickly so no one from the surgical team spoke to me afterwards, and i have only my discharge notes to go by, which state everything was normal and went well. Did anyone else end up in an unexpected amount of pain? How long did it last? I've been told I can't lift or bend for 2 weeks minimum, did anyone else manage before this?

If you're still in hospital ask to speak to the surgical team even if it means staying till tomorrow
Definitely ask to speak to a member of the surgical team and explain the pain you're experiencing and also ask why the procedure took longer
Im home now and I was told there wasnt anyone available to speak to and all the information will be on my discharge papers and leaflets...but it's not š¤·āāļø

Night feeds
When did you stop night feeds, and how did you do it? My little girl is 2 and still wakes up at least 2ā3 times a night for milk. Itās honestly so draining š© Has anyone been through the same? Iād love to hear what worked for you and how you settled them without a feed š¤

Freaking out
Had a glass of wine at 7:30 instinctively fed at 10:30 without checking milk or pumping and dumping. Am I terrible or is my baby going to be fine? Also drank a lot of water in between the times and feel literally fine

Exhausted
My boy is 7 weeks old breast fed baby and his sleep is so scattered. Heāll have a night with 3 hour stretches of sleep in his bassinet and then other nights that he absolutely refuses it. Iām writing this post at 7am and Iāve been up since midnight because he will only sleep on me and Iām too nervous to fall asleep if heās on me. Not looking for advice, believe me Iāve tried absolutely everything. Just looking for mamas in a similar situation to know Iām not alone.

Reflux or something else?
My 1.5 month baby girl has spit up (milk as it is) after 30-45 minute post the feed time. We keep her upright and burp her for atleast 20-30 minutes after 2/3/4 oz feed. Regardless sof volume, she tends to have milk come up and sounds congested when we put her in the crib after burp.
Night have been hard as she is sometimes restless and the cycle of feed burp repeat is 1.5 hour long on repeat!
Her weight is on track and she seems happy rest of the time.
When brought up to pediatrician at 1 month, they said itās normal as long as she isnāt fussy or uneasy throughout the night.
My MIL says this seems unusual and I think so too! Please advise if I should get a second opinion? Iām afraid she has some concerns we are able to understand yet.

Cluster feedingā¦ š«©
Iām not sure how long I can do this.
Baby is 4 weeks and 3 days and wants the boob almost all day long (heās already been like this almost a fortnight), during the night he settles in his next to me from about 22:00-00:00 but once heās awake heās feeding for over an hour (actively sucking and also comfort I think).
Heāll go back in his crib for 20-30 mins and then the cycle starts again and thatās it all night.
I feel so guilty that Iām getting frustrated but Iām shattered and donāt know how to get out of this š
