Our little family of 3 has become a family of 4 as our son, Joshua, made his appearance 13 days late on 16th December. Unfortunately it wasn’t the natural, “easy” labour that I had hoped for. Josh was back to back and they couldn’t get a good trace of his heart beat, resulting in an emergency c-section. I lost a lot of blood (1.7l), which left me feeling awful for at least 2 weeks, and even now I find a trip to the grocery store to be a little too much.
Little Josh is a sweetie and I am smitten! He’s a great sleeper and feeds well. He is slowly getting into routine and I can’t imagine life without him. But, life with a 3 year old and newborn is busy, I have to say!
The reason I’m telling you all about the ins and outs of my probably mundane and sleep-deprived life at the moment is that things are likely to stay a little quiet on the blog for the next couple of weeks. I will do new articles and reply to comments where I can. Please keep commenting and asking your questions and hopefully I’ll get back to them in the not too distant future.
Big congrats!! Josh is so adorable!
Can you please share with us how do you cope with PCOS particularly during the pregnancy and nursing period ?
I have PCOS and am four months pregnant now. I find it challenging to stick to my usual non-dairy/non-soy and low GI diet due to changes in appetite and increasing need of certain nutrition (like calcium). Can you please share your experiences? Thank you so much!
Congratulations! And yes, C-delivery is not easy, specially when you have to come back home to continue with life…
I wish you all the best! And I hope your firends and family pitch in with good food, some babysitting,!
My best to the big sister who must be in awe about having a brother with whom she cannot play (yet!).
Keep in mind, as I was told by my La Leche League Friends: “each minute is only a phase, so don’t despair!”
Congrats tarryn…… He is so cute…… God bless both your children……
Congratulations on the birth of your son, he’s gorgeous. And also I wanted to say congratulations on producing such a wonderful website, so positive and supportive putting control back in the hands of those with PCOS
I was diagnosed 14 years ago and tbh there was not much info out there. I have been lucky enough to not suffer with many symptoms but have recently gained a lot of weight and suffered hair loss .I am now following a GL diet with great results.
My question is this. Do you know much about whether PCOS I has any genetic links? My daughter (just turned 7) has been diagnosed with premature adrenarchy (after developing pubic hair) . The paediatric endo said there were links with PCOS. I’ m wandering if a good diet would help with her hormones also ?
I appreciate you are probably sleep deprived and tired…….and this is a website for adults, however I’m struggling to find info on this aspect of PCOS.. How young can someone be to have it?
Many thanks
Gemma

Thanks for sharing and congratulations. I have recently been writing about our experience battling PCOS on my blog twodozencookies.blogspot.com. It has been helpful to hear others’ stories, so I hope mine can give hope to someone else. We are excited to be expecting our 2nd in July.
