    The light is at the end of the tunnel. Amelia just needs to stop the destats and Brady episodes and she's now off oxygen (day 3 off pbf) hoping the red writing clears in the next few days so I can bring my baby home.

    That's awesome news Lys! I have everything crossed for you. I found the last week to be the most frustrating. How much does she weigh now?

    She's 2.8kgs now.

    Her page just got redder... lots of destats and bradys all feed related. If they don't do something I'm gonna be peed off.

    How low are the desats going? Is she self resolving quickly? Try not to stress, everyone desats

    Ds1 desated and bradyd a lot with feeds, she will grow out of them, ask about the possibility of going home on a monitor.

    She destats usually to the mid 80s. Rarely below 79. Her bradys and destats r self resolving with no colour change.

    Do they know why she is desat & Brady during feeds?
    My little DS2 used to desat because of reflux. I remember the monitor going off all the time & wondering why..... FX it gets less, soon.

    hun x

    I'm pleased they are all self resolving, that's a really good sign. Fingers crossed it isn't long now.

    DS1 had reflux, which resolved around 14 months old. We tried AR formula, but it made him worse. We tried about 8 different formulas (gold and normal) and ended up staying with heinz nuture. It could just be as simple as a change in formula, however it most likely won't help the actual reflux but we found it did help with the pain associated with it. DS1 was in a lot less pain when he vomited up once he was on heinz nuture.

    All the best hun x

    Just booked my dating scan for next Wednesday, makes it seem almost real, I was not planning this or expecting it so I keep thinking maybe the tests were wrong, did another today to make sure and still bfp so hopefully it will sink in soonish

    congratulations Serenity on your BFP! some things were just meant to be wern't they.

    Lysdan - thinking of you & I hope Amelia's desates cease so she can get home with you soon xxx

    I havent been in here for ages, but as of tomorrow i will be 33+3 wks with baby 3, which is the gestation ds1 was born.
    I end up in hospital last week for 2 days after having headaches, nausea and contractions.... thankfully they stopped after being pumped with 4-5L of iv fluids. My bp has remained stable which is good. Ive had low platelets which keep dropping so keeping a close eye on that. ob appt is next tuesday. Ive been resting as much as possible with 2 other kids and a husband hardly home from work.....
    this time last week. ds2 was born at 38wks so hoping i get FT again, but this time hasnt been without its hiccups.

    congratulations serenity

    well i had orientation for my new job yesterday. i didnt think they had a scn at the hospital so was surprised when we went for a tour and they do have one. they only take babies from 34 weeks tho. everyone else gets flown out. i thought i would be ok but i started having a huge panic attack in the nursery and i had to leave. i was almost in tears. came home and cried to DH about it.

    Should i be concerned the boys are nearly 10 months and not sitting unless i put them into that position and that only lasts around 10 secs
