I am so proud of my little one. She is already above birth weight - our visit today by the MCHN was great, she weighed in at 3.85kg or 8lbs 8oz.
She has put on 285g in five days (since leaving hospital).
The best part was there is no way she could have put on that much weight if my milk had not come in - I know some of you have read my thread on milk coming in!
The nurse asked me my breasts feel any different and if I had felt anything like a let down - I said they feel fuller and heavier but I haven't gone up a cup size or anything and occasionally I feel these tingles in my breasts and she said that's a let down!
So I think I've been worrying about nothing. Is this what its like, being a mum? You worry all the time about things that can't really be controlled?
AJP - sounds like we have similar miss porkies Any update on waking her at night?? How's her jaundice?
Coffee sounds good
Nai, I think Isabel does similar things at night time - she gets very unsettled, goes down for 5mins and then wakes again.
awesome to hear the weight gain OP!!!
dont have to wake anymore!! she's ben going 3-4 hours overnight so i bet tonight when i dont have to wake her, she'll wake 2 hourly she has jaundice but its going!
Hello all,
I just wanted to join this thread. Emilia Rose made her grand entry on 23rd Feb - 3 weeks early. Just got home today. So far she has beed alright. Awake on the hour all night last night, but I managed to catch a snooze this arvo when James (my 2yo DS, who I refer to as J) was having his arvo snooze. Boobs are like melons atm, and I had to have some stiches, but not in any pain with the stiches.
Look forward to getting to know you all and your bubs
meg and E (Emilia)
hi girls, can i join in here?
i came into bellybuddies a couple of times but was a bit slack!
i'd love to jump in here now though if that's ok?
my little man Jimmy Sam was born 27.02.09 at 12.45am
so far he's going well, i'm waiting for my milk to come in atm- hoping it will be in tomorrow
i look forward to getting to know you all and your babies
hi can i join too? :d i was in the due march thread but bub had other ideas...
my beautiful boy leon was born on wednesday 25th at 7:30pm, 2854g. he was in a hurry to make his entrance - contractions started around 4:30pm out of the blue, i didn't believe it was the real deal until my waters broke at 5:15pm. my middy came around and checked me - i was 7 cms dialated rushed to birth centre (well tried to in peak hr traffic ) got there around 6:15 and a little over an hour later he was in my arms as he is my first, i'm a little concerned how quick any subsequent labours will be - i'm just glad he wasn't born born on the side of the road!
he is feeding beautifully, lost hardly any of his birth weight at his check yesterday. feeding is painful for me, but we'll get there.
looking forward to getting to know you all and your bubba's!
