Forshelby CONGRATS ON Axel's arrival. I'm so pleased to hear how truely wonderful your DP is. I haven't read your birth story but read your complications afterwards. I had tears for you and your family over the hell you have been through. I'm so sorry that happened and am in shock that you could have been treated so poorly in ICU. Sounds completely horrific to say the very very least and I'm flabagasted that they could leave you like that. I hear you on the milk. I'm in agony my boobs have had an instant lift and expansion in the last 48hrs. They are like rocks covered in road maps (the veins) and constantly dripping. I'm definately engorged. The midwife called me this morning and told me to express some of as Josie has those squirty explosive poo's from all the foremilk thats high in sugar and thats all she gets as my supply is huge. I thought expressing would create more supply but she disagreed with me. Ouch
WBM yeah on such a great scan.
JJ and Iona Macca CONGRATULATIONS on your bubs arrivals. I am shocked we had 3 babies in here all born on the same day.
Angelfish what a worry with little Honor. I'm pleased to hear her scan was great and things has improved with her belly.
T-Hopes almost to the big 30. Love bub been active.
Well we are going fabulous. I feel fantastic although my boobs are caning but honestly how can I complain about that. Josie is such a pleasure and such a good little girl. We are having some issues with her explosive poo's but nothing we can't fix. All because mummy's milk is to plentiful. It should settle soon.
mildez , lovely to hear from you.. so happy to hear everythin is going well.. hope your boobies stop bein sore soon x
kellbell - yay for a dropped belly
angel - glad to hear everythin with honor went well
all good here, i think im startin to feel baby move.. im gettin flutters nearly everyday.. dh is startin to rub my belly alot now, i think its becomin more real for him now that im startin to show etc.. its nice.
im a bit worried about this pregnancy and my dad.....we find out tomorrow if the tumor is operable or not....but its breaking me inside to see my parents who have been together 40 something years and two peas in a pod have to go through something like this.......my mum wont cope i know it...she wont survive without dad and wont live alone and doesnt drive very much and always has had dad.......i have to be there rock....i will need to take them to appointments and drive them everywhere and be there all the time...and thats cool..and if they cant operate then i will have to help them cope......i am there for them no matter what and will do everything i can...........but its hard being that strong and im so worried about the stress on the baby.....i know if i hold it in eventually its going to come out some how...some where.......im lost and numb..........
Oh Mildez so lovely to read! YAY the boob milk! I just love Joise name!
Alish 17weeks woohoo!
Mel: Well how about we have a deal, you can be your parents rock if you let us all be your rock?? We are all hear for you and you dont have to be strong for anyone on here!!!!!
Melster - I am with T.... thinking of you during this very hard time....hope you get some news today that gives you some comfort and hope.
Mildez - expressing does help engorgement and also with releasing some of the foremilk... poor ole farty/explosive pants Josie... expressing does help establish your supply too, that's what the ABA says, so you were right.
Melster I hope you get some positive news today about your Dad. I am sorry your all going through this. Thinking of you and praying for you and your family.
Dory yes I've started expressing. I was concerned if I did express I'd only be making myself make even more and I don't need that right now. They are engorged and even when I express a little to remove some foremilk and she feeds exceptionally well the boob I fed of is still hard as a rock. The community midwife said to feed both sides but that will only make the explosive poo's worse as she will definately be only getting foremilk not the middle stuff and hind stuff. I can't express too much of as then there doubley stimulated but I need to do enough to try and reduce the explosive frequent poops. Poor bubba has a sore bum now. I've just put her in her first MCN. Sposies haven't helped her butt and the cream hasn't done much so its back to the chemist to get some other stuff that worked well with older DD.
