Hi everyone

kat - my DD was a really slow feeder. When she came home at 6w4d she took 1.5 hours for a feed. Over the next month it went down to 50 minutes or so. But DD's breathing was laboured because of a PDA which surgery corrected at 12 weeks old. I think that it is quite common apart from the PDA issue that we had.

I am very excited to be pregnant again but really scared about having another premmie. I have gotten a bit depressed at times, especially about what happened at Miss K's birth but manage to pull myself out of it. It is very frustrating as the doctor I saw at my 12 week appt said he did not think i had a placental abruption as previously told. He thinks it was just the placenta praevia causing me to haemorrage and lose part of my placenta and cause DD distress (hence emergency c-section). Now i do not know what my risk is and I NEED to know. The hospital is good and already linked me in with the hospital psychiatrist that I see every 6 weeks. Just hanging out for the 20 week scan to see where the placenta is and then I can hopefully relax a bit.

Miss K is going really well. She started walking at 17 months but I am not so sure her speech is up to speed. I think I just need to wait and see.

Would write more but have a clingy child today with a molar poking through. In this heat too...poor thing.
