Argh what a biarch of a nurse!!! I hope your feeling better soon Sterla. Your definately doing things right 5.6kg and 60cm?? Woohoo!
How frustrating though! Bah! Sheesh I would have failed her test....tummy time everyday? ummm put down to sleep? eeeep, does feeding to sleep count? Reading? aaahhh, once
Dont stress hun,your doing a great job!
I had my pap done and it wasnt too bad, just annoying! but my GP made me want to cry becuase i asked for motilium and he looked it up and said no because its not what its for! then told me "just drink more water" i almost cried! i'm having a down day as it is. so i just called the LC from the hospital and im waiting for them to call back. but GAH. drink more water. how the hell is is possable for me to drink more then 1.25lt between feeds? i duno...i hope the LC calls back soon!
hope every one is having a good day!
i could but i get the feeling the ones at rhe GP clinic i see would look it up and i'd get the same responce. its the last thing i needed that for sure
I wish I could say or do something to make you feel better. Maybe a completely different practice? Sometimes dodgy doctors who dont delve deep enough can be helpful (like when you need a certificate for a sickie). Hopefully it works out soon. Jeez you must be drinking heaps of water btw!
Firstly I just want to say thank you again for being so great yesterday. I feel so much better today. It's so nice to know I have you girls here for support!
Blip: Sorry you had to put up with that cruddy doctor! You're already doing everything you can other than this motilium to keep your supply up - why should the doctor stop you from trying one more thing? It sucks, especially when you're already having a down day . I hope you have more luck with the LC.
I know Jords - we don't seem to have much luck with 'professionals' around here.
Though, I actually had some luck this morning. The LC I called after my bad visit to the MCHN (grrr) called back this morning, and we talked over the phone. I explained to her the situation with the nipple shields and how the MCHN said I should stop using them. The LC was so nice - telling me that Oliver sounds like such a happy, healthy baby, and that we'll give weaning Oliver off the nipple shields a go, but if it doesn't, that's okay too. She just made me feel like I was doing a good job - the complete opposite to that silly MCHN.
Oliver is keeping up his great sleeps. He slept 9 hours through the night!
Jords - thats the thing. this GP would write me a sickie note up hes done it for me in the past. he just *had* to look it up! as for the water - yeah i am drinking alot. i bought a whole lot of 'vita fresh' which is like cordial but no colour to make it worth drinking it!
Jords & sterla - :hugs: thank-you. i just hit the proverbal wall.
sterla - im glad the LC made you feel better! they're good at doing that. as for the nipple sheald. do what works and just think of it this way "its a detachable nipple" thats how i thought of it. or mini madona boob cones!
AFM: i got a call back from the LC clinic at the hospital. im seeing one i saw before daz got admited to hospital again next thursday. she'll be able to help me out. she even said that there where drugs to help with supply. but as of right now im drinking 1.25lt of water between feeds (or near enough to) taking 2 tablets of furngeek two to three times a day PLUS sustgin in the morning! and attempting to eat more...im not sure what else i can do! hopefully next week i'll have some help!
thank you ladies, i dont know what i'd do with out you all! :hugs:
