    Hi ladies,

    my c-section got cancelled on friday then I had a problem with my liver and started to get really itchy, then my little mans doppler flow wasn't doing so good so I ended up having my c-section on the 6th oct Harper weighing 2160g (4lb12oz) at 9.41pm and Cody weighing 1460g (3lb2oz) at 9.42pm They are both doing really well they didn't need any oxygen and went straight to scn. It was great to hear them screaming their heads off when they came out.

    I am still trying to get my milk supply up they are 9 days old now and I was hoping to have it in by now I have lots of kangaroo cuddles with the boys and am trying to breast feed them once or twice a day so hopefully it works.

    Thanks for all your advice

    Congrats Azzrenae, great to hear they're doing so well !!

    I'm sure you're probably doing this anyway, but just incase you're not, make sure you pump every 2-3 hours (even thru the night at least until your milk is in) for about 10 mins per side to get your milk supply going, because the 1-2 feeds per day probably wont be enough to get it started. The hospital should be able to lend you a pump.
