Hope everyone is doing well. I havent posted a BA yet but our little boy Liam James was born at 38+1 weeks on Tuesday 12th April @ 8.05am via c/sect. He's such a good little baby and is doing really well. He ended up in SCN for 24hrs but his BSL's have been great so he was discharged this morning and is now allowed to stay in the room with me. They were talking about giving him a formula comp feeds if his sugar levels dropped but thankfully that didnt happen. Milk hasnt come in yet but im hoping that when it does it will be enough for him. My PCOS may affect supply and they're looking into meds to help boost it - apparently that may be my only chance because of my hormone levels. At this stage i'll do anything to make BF'ding work!!
Kim how are you going with expressing. Hope you've managed to stock up
Hi Sarah. My OB thought that Liam would definitely be a big baby. My scan at 35 weeks showed that he was 2.5kgs which is right on 50% but the OB said he thought he would be much bigger seeing as i ended up on 80 odd units of insulin a day. Well im happy to say the he is actually the smallest of all 3 of my children and was born at 3.280kg so not small but not big by any means. Your little one is a little bit above average but doesnt mean you'll end up with a huge baby. I dont see why you'd have to have a c/sect unless there are other complications. My c/section had nothing to do with my GD and was based on my previous deliveries. If you do end up on insulin they may induce you early to avoid bub getting too big. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow, hopefully you can avoid insulin altogether!
