s&s xongrats to you and your family on the birth of your little one. I hope he sticks around for many years to come.
Forshelby- My baby shower with DS sucked. I got given bottles and disposable diapers and was laughed at and bets were taken for as to how long I would breastfeed and use cloth nappies... The bets not being for longer than 2weeks. I fed till he weaned at 10.5months and used cloth until he was toilet trained. After that, I don't think I'll be having a shower this time around.
alish- welcome to the club lol. Today has been bad for me as well hun, some days are just worse than others.
AFM- Feeling like crap today also I mixed up the date for my scan I thought it was this Monday but instead it's on Valentines Day O.O great.... if I had a partner to go with *sigh*
Wow Congrats S&S on the birth of your little man - you did an amazing job saving his life so glad you followed your instincts!!
Hope he is home with you soon enjoy those kangaroo cuddles
S&S - I had been following your story from the beginning with interest as I too had my first baby at 41. Congratulations on the birth of Obed Warren. What a beautiful name you have chosen. I have not heard that before, does it mean something in particular? You have been an incredible mother to your little boy. Your intuition has allowed him to be with you and your husband because I do fear what would have happened if he had gone on longer in this condition. Your posts are not at all selfish. Everyone here is just so relieved to finally hear from you, and though your little boy is not without problems, his birth is still a joyous occasion. I'm with your Mom, celebrate all the little milestones until he gets the chance to catch up and then come home to be with his family.
s&s, a big congrats on your beautiful little man. what a gorgeous name too, i bet kangaroo time is the best for you all my heart breaks to hear he is having problems, but he sounds like a little fighter and here is to a speedy recovery. so glad to hear your community has come together to support your family that is fantastic. so glad to hear from you and i reckon i speak for everyone when i say weve missed you!!!
dampyre - valentines day is a crock dont even think of it like that!! (we dont celebrate it) but if you do, you will get to see one of the loves of your life on that day when u go in to have that ultrasound!! what a present!
why the heck am i up at 7am on a weekend???? boo! have a great day ladies!
S&S-so glad you are ok and thank god you went to hospital when you did i hope your little man grows strong and there is no problems with his brain (did they say what the problem could have been the week before he was born).
Breathing on his own is a great sign and 4pd 9 he will be home in no time.
Welcome to motherhood i hope you get years and years of enjoyment to come.
Mildez-can you tell me all the info you know on having a c section with a complete placenta previa why am i at higher risk of hemorrage and having a hysterectomy i was told the bottom of the uterus doesnt contract aswell as the top what is involved and how do they get the placenta out also how do the stomach muscles fair afterwards.
Also how long will i be closely watched for bleeding blood clots ect.
And anything else you can think of please.
Ferrals I replied to your questions on the above thread. I didn't go into much details on why you bleed much. Your right you bleed more usually due to the fact the lower segment of the uterus where your placenta is doesn't contract. If you imagine your uterus like a blown up balloon with bub in it and the cervix been the long flappy bit at the bottom (without the tie in it and with your placenta covering it). Between your endometrium/uterus lining and the placenta are large pools of maternal blood which is what the placenta dips into to get its supply of maternal blood needed for the placenta to exchange nutrients, oxygen,waste etc. So once the placenta seperates wether spontaneously or mannually from a c/s these pools are what are left causing the bleeding after birth. Normally the fundus the top of the uterus is what contracts and reduces the size of these pools as with contractions the uterus is getting smaller if that makes sense. During labour when the fundus contracts it pulls the cervix or lower segment up which in time shortens the flappy thing of the balloon and dilates. So you can imagine when thats where your pools of maternal blood are the fundus can't really aid those pools to reduce in size which is what reduces the bleeding (and whilst we usually bleed to a degree for up to 4-6weeks under normal conditions) In saying all this its still possible your blood loss will be normal and if not they will be expecting your risk to be much greater and impliment treatment to prevent it occuring before it happens or as soon as it does if it does. If the placenta is starting to deteriorate/get age about it which can be quite normal in all term pregnancies then the maternal blood supply will already be reduced and if bub is small then there is a good chance the placenta is also again reducing the amount of maternal pools. I think you will be in very safe hands. Let me know if I can help with anything else. I'll be wishing you a speedy recovery and am so excited your so close now. Is it only 39days now?
S&S~ Congrats on the birth of your beautiful little boy, I am praying he has a speedy recovery for you darl and he will be home with you soon. Enjoy your Kangaroo Cuddles and know you are always in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time for you. xoxox.
AFM~ I think I will spend the day in bed today, have a shocking headache and feeling sick as a dog today much the same as I did yesterday as well. But I won't complain only another 6 weeks and I am out of the first tri-mester, FX.
I thought it was this Monday but instead it's on Valentines Day O.O great.... if I had a partner to go with *sigh*
