BFing not going so easily for us. Its soooo painful. Went to see the mchn today and she did nothing to help. I had problems with DD too and all of the info and suggestions she gave me I had for DD too. It's not that I don't know whats wrong, I just can't seem to fix it! He's just so frantic to get onto the boob and won't attach properly. subsequently he's given me cracks and abrasions on my nipples. He threw up blood last night cause he sucked so hard in the wrong way and made me bleed. I'm in tears when he attaches to my right breast. I got some sheilds today but they don't let him drain my breast properly. I so just want this to be easier. He's not sleeping so great either. I thought I was tired getting up to DD a few times a night....well, now I'm tired. Last night we were up from 2.30am-5am. Just trying to settle him. Feed, burp, settle, rock, change nappy, feed.......I am soooo tired. adn now he's unsettled again.
Ugh, anyway enough with the whining these are the joys of having two babies under 18mths! But I must admit he's still pretty gorgeous!!!
for now our BF is going well, my milk came today , i got to express about 60 mls from one side .. but the fullness hurts ... anyway , my main prob is my poop... nurse keeps asking me about the stupid thing so now i have performance anxiety , i have been gulping don the metimucal but hasnt worked ... will go to the chemist for some microlax, its a powerful suppositry , so once i take it i have no choice
did any one else need stitches or tear?? and re the bleeding from one of kristis post , i passed huge clots in the 1st 48 hrs , one was the size and thickness of a crumpet (no joke) after i passed it i had the shivers and was feeling sick and soo cold , i had no idea what was happening , so i kept it in the fridge to show the nurse when she came over.... she was fine about it and since then ive only passed a smallish one and now the bleeding is light , so im guessing its settled ...
gabby is just soooooo gorgeous , and is a 4 hrly bub so far , she has a tinge of jaundice but is peeing snd pooping like a pro so nurse (and me )are not worried , but i love it when she is awake and looking around and goes crosseyed ... too cute ..
seeing as doc told me i was having an 8lb 11 baby , i bought everything in 000... but now after getting some 0000 suits , we reckon she is actually a 00000 but no where stocks things that small. so she hangs out homey style in baggy out fits ... oh and the sposies we bought and ones we got give are all too big for her skinny ass and leak everywhere , and all my cloth are huge ... no point getting out my terrys and even baby bee hinds are too big , my friend made me some , but too big also ... arrgh
how are all the big bros and sisters coping ??? nixon is soo good with her , so helpful , but omg in 2 days he has gone from being my baby to such a mature little man ... it happens soo quick ...
Lea, yep, I tore, 3rd degree, stitch up to anus apparently (sorry tmi!), I cant feel it up that high thankgoodness! It still hurts a bit especially when I've been sitting for a while, like when I feed. Everything is still a bit achey. But my birth happened so quickly I think my hoohaa is still in shock, LOL! And I passed some serious clots too. Big enough that I could feel them coming out, so probably the sixe of my hand I would guess. I passed them up to about 5 or 6 days after he was born. Nurse said it was ok as long as bleeding didn't get worse.
Lil's going ok wiht Liam. She is already protective of hime and when he sries she's over to him quick as quick. But she is clingy, and often wants up when I am feeding or holding him. But I guess thats to be expected...I hear you on them growing up over night too. Lily seems like such a big girl now when a fw weeks ago she was such a baby to me. I feel a bit sad about that.
Anyway, going to try to go to bed...I'm sooooo tired.
