    I too am addicted to sweets and sugar. Thought it would subside with having the baby.... Ha! It might be worse!
    My virginia hurts bad and the possibility of surgery scares me. Wondering if it's an easy fix or if I should get a consult somewhere else.... IE plastic surgeon. I still haven't looked down there.

    When I think I'm done peeing, I start to stand up, and a bunch more pours out. I have no control over it and don't feel it coming.

    1) I hate that I'm now a person who types things like this, even here.

    2) anyone else experiencing this or know what it might be?

    Had 6 week PP check up. My 3rd degree deep tear is almost healed. Go for another check up on 2 weeks to decide if we need more stitches! Yay!
    Still BF it's exhausting and I agree makes you insanely hungry! Kind of wishing I felt like the old me, but I guess this is the new me! Good thing LO is so awesome!!

    TMI alert: Waiting for a call back from my drs office. Started bleeding last Saturday (LOs 1 month). It may be my period, but it's gotten progressively heavier to the point where I'm concerned if it's "normal". I had two infections after birth, hoping this is all ok.

    ETA: Update.
    Just got a call from OB saying this is not ideal. Putting me on meds for 24 hours to try to slow it down. Said I need to rest and drink fluids. I'm sure it's not a big deal, but glad I called! :)

    I finally stopped bleeding around week five. Thank God!! I go in for my postpartum appt next week and I'm dreading getting on the scale. I'm BFing and always feel hungry so the weight loss is not happening like I want it to. Oh and I'm addicted to sugar. I want to quit, but it's so damn good and my brain needs that high. Ugg....

    Me too! I can't stop eating sugary things it's so bad but I'm freakin exhausted so it's the only thing to keep me going especially at night...but I hate it bc my gut is still huge yuck i don't want to get weighed next week :(

    Soooo addicted to sugar too! I literally can't stop eating crap! This baby weight is never coming off. On the bright side, I'm all healed. Bleeding stopped at about 5 weeks PP. I'm 7 weeks PP now.

    Sounds like incontinence. Its one if those common scrappy symptoms PP. Pregnancy and labor does a lot of damage to your pelvic floor. When your pregnant a lot of pressure is put on your tail bone which I'd where your sacral nerve is. Unfortunately it can be a permanent change and many women get bladder slings.

    I'm not a urologist and you may just have a UTI but I have delt with urologic issues my entire life and have not pee'd on my own since DD so I'm speaking from some experience. I'd see a specialist if it continues. IDK why they don't prepare women for this?? Its very common.

    @virginiaunicorn11 I work in urology (not a healthcare professional) and hear about this a lot. As pp said, you should see a urologist, specifically one who specializes in female incontinence/pelvic health. Another option is to see a urogynecologist. Hopefully your issue can be helped by exercises and/or physical therapy.

    @virginiaunicorn11 happens to me all the time. I guess we need to do more kegels...

    I am trying a pelvic floor excersise DVD called hab it. It is supposed to help with prolapses and incontinence. I also start seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist next week. Fingers crossed for some improvement.

    @virginiaunicorn11 I had the same thing happen for about two-three weeks pp. I found that when I was done peeing if I tipped to one side it would fully empty my bladder. It finally "tightened up" and now it doesn't happen any more. I agree kegel exercises is the way to go.

    So on that sweets note. Anyone need a coke (cola not the drug) high? During the day I'm okay with COLD water & coffee, but I crave a coke during the middle of the night. I will chug one! Ugh it's so bad!

    I am having different issues with my pelvic floor muscles and have to go to therapy for it! I had my first appt yesterday at 8 weeks pp. anyone else ever needed this therapy?

    Okay I just saw that others have. Has it been for bladder issues or has/is anyone having muscle spasms down there?

    Am I the only BF mom that has a decreased appetite? I'm thirsty all the time though. Still can't get the scale to budge...so frustrating.

    my number on the scale is going up surprisingly. probably cause of the raw cookie dough and all the dairy ive been eating for this past week. its like the only thing that makes me gain weight as im pretty lucky and my body processes sugar and junk really well.
    i just need LO to give me more time so i can eat things other than meat cheese and crackers or poptarts.

    i think im done bleeding. just been the old brownish blood for the past several days. now i just need to get everything downstairs back to as normal as possible. cant say ive ever been able to see my urethra before so things are definitely drooping.

    unfortunately still having some bathroom issues. but that gets better right?

    my head also still hurts from when i passed out and hit it on something 2 weeks ago now. its an outer pain just where the goose egg was. its just a tad uncomfortable laying my head on a pillow and feeling a little pain.

    @jesshrou yes, there are days I have no desire to eat, and if I don't, my supply goes down. Also, if my body thinks it's"starving", it holds on to every thing so I can't lose weight. For me, I've learned to force myself to eat, even if it's just a handful of almonds to keep my body happy. Good luck!

    One of my liberal tears didn't heal properly so now I'm on antibiotics to heal the ulcer. Hopefully the antibiotics will heal the anal fissure at the same time. Then add bladder incontinence. Thank god bleeding has stopped and just on yellowish discharge

    Went to bed early with a mad headache. Had to wake up for this feeding despite the fact its not gone all the way. It's retreated some, but I'm afraid its going to be a bitch to go away as in the past the only sure remedy was some good drugs and a *full* nights sleep. DH probably would have got up and fed the baby, but after skipping two feedings (the one before bed because I went to bed before baby did, and the one before that because I had had a beer and felt off, not sure if I was tipsy or not...ended up being the beginning of this headache) the boobs are ready. They are for real ready to go to work. If my head didn't hurt so damned much it'd crack me up how porn star they are, my gods

    @paige0704 call your doctor for antibiotics. In the mean time stay in bed and drink plenty of fluids and KEEP NURSING! The more you can do to keep the lump from turning into an abscess the better.

    Augmentin has amoxicillin in it (a penicillin). Just FYI.

    If you have a true allergy to penicillin (not just vomiting or diarrhoea) then contact whoever prescribed it and let them know their mistake. Any doctor should know that Augmentin is a penicillin and giving it to someone with a penicillin allergy could be very dangerous. Your feedback could stop them making the same mistake again.
