Does the pain go down into your legs?<br /><br />As for the sleep deprivation with a newborn, yes it will be rough but you will survive. If I may be so bold let me give you a little advice for dealing with it. First, take all the help you can get. You'll be taking care of the baby but you'll need someone to take care of you, cooking, the house...etc. Second, sleep whenever you can, even if it is not socially appropriate. You are a new mother, if someone cannot understand that then they can go to hell.<br />The first few months may be rough. Who knows? You may get one of those babies who sleep well right away. I've never had one but I've known plenty of people who have.

You must be about 8 months along by now, right?<br /><br />Can you nap in the daytime...?<br /><br />A few years ago, I was handrearing a finch chick that had been abandoned by its mother. I was feeding it with a toothpick at first as it was so micro and burping it by rubbing its belly with my little finger (I could literally see the bubble)! I impressed myself by waking up every two hours to feed it, and thought that was a good sign. OK, it didn't cry but at least I was getting up naturally. :POliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22668996.post-26465822944003666862007-01-15T05:23:00.000+03:002007-01-15T05:23:00.000+03:00Like the minstrel said,my mrs said she hated being...Like the minstrel said,my mrs said she hated being pregnant,felt like a big fat balloon,after the baby was born she said she miss's being pregnant,ppl were so nice,opening doors,standing to let her sit,enjoy it while you can!Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115936062234557023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22668996.post-10341916308250340162007-01-14T17:09:00.000+03:002007-01-14T17:09:00.000+03:00In two years you'll be thinking back to all this a...In two years you'll be thinking back to all this and laughing about it.<br /><br />You might even be longing to go through it all over again.<br /><br />Instincts and hormones can be such enigmatic things...<br /><br />Hang in there, Tooners!
