[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 561830, member: 3907"] Hmm...skinned knees of the belly. I can just imagine the sensation, but don't know the cause. The formerly stretched skin of your abdomen trying to figure out what to do with itself now that it's no longer stretched? Dryness caused by cold weather? Random urticaria? (I have had weird skin eruptions periodically ever since I got pregnant with easy child. They've never entirely gone away). Maybe worth mentioning to your doctor at your and Meggie's next follow-up visit. As for the superwoman thing, when you're generally good at handling stuff, people just sort of expect you to...um...handle stuff. When you just do, and don't complain, then people make the mistake of thinking that it doesn't bother you, whatever "it" is. Are there things that you can let go without driving yourself crazy? E.g take care of yours and Meggie's personal needs, and let the rest of the gang fend for themselves? Use paper plates until you finish healing, so that you don't have to worry so much about dishes ("You scrape, I'll erase", as my husband says). A frank talk with your family, of the "going crazy and can't take it any more" variety? I learned the hard way that sometimes you've got to let them know you're at the breaking point BEFORE you actually break. [/QUOTE]
