Congrats Boomba! Can't wait to read the birth story.

Hi Bella, lovely to hear from you. Hope you're enjoying your little people!

I'm so sorry to hear that Kazzo. That's almost exactly what happened to our little guy. Amazing homebirth, then by day 3 constant screaming, didn't sleep more than 20 mins at a time. Lots of wet nappies, urinates. By day 5 lost 16%. Transferred to hospital. My milk hasn't come in (I was so proud if managed to pump 1.5mL... No one told me babies need more than that!) they have him a BIG bottle, he went into shock and they couldn't arouse him. IV, feeding tube, a million blood tests and ultra sounds and a CT scan (torture chamber). High sodium, low sugar. They thought it was diabetes insipidus, in the end they put it down to a leaky kidney that "healed up on its own." We're thanking God for the miracle.

But yeah, it's hard. I hope you had a great support network, someone to help with the big kids, cook meals and do laundry. Hugs!
