my dd (#1) had a big growth spurt after ds (#2) was born. all that newborn milk helped her put on weight.

i think dd2 (#3) might be another slow grower, like the others. i birth big bubs and then they slowly grow on the outside. she is still in sleepy newborn stage. my other two never went through this stage so it is quite interesting and relaxing!

heading to some talks on womens rights in childbirth on the weekend. some women s stories are so harrowing, it is horrible that they occur again and again. there have been a few stories on soldiers and ptsd in the news lately, and i wonder when/if women with ptsd following birth will be recognised in the mainstream.
