thats fantasic work Laura! Darren was a PM baby!
Anthiea: Yay glad your back! quicky update on darren: born Feb7th. Waight 7 pound 15oz. ended up in SCN for 5 days due to respiroty distress (was with me for 22hrs) then he lost waight (put on 120g in 2 days then lost 80g in a week) has since put it back on. he's also go toung tie...which is getting 'the snip' on friday! sounds like Orson is like darren very sleepy...have you tired getting a spray bottle and putting cool water in it and spraying his belly to wake him up? helped with darrens sleepyness or a cool face washer...
AFM: darrens smileing more! i got some on video! last night was bad with wind, my LC told me to "keep giving him EBM or BF him if possable" she also gave me a "specal needs' teat for him as well, so i have some control over the flow PLUS the amount of air darren gets from it isnt that bad...who ever said "dont cry over spilt milk" was a man i had ebm and spilt it...i almost cried!!...i ..saw my BIL&SIL today. reminded me WHY i dont like 'em :wall: ahh well...wont see them untill december now! :dance:
Woo i gotta go feed dazmand

My birth story.
Anthiea your story was amazing. i wish i was as strong as you to have a homebirth
-
Hiya hot mumma's!
Just a quick update from me as I am up in Brisvegas for the rest of the week. Antheia, what an amazing story.
My little girl is named Samantha Joan Bea, as you can see we kept her middle name JB as we already had Joan ( DH's nan) and we thought Bea was really cute and kept the JB that everyone knew her by when I was pregnant. I will be writing my birth story very soon.
Hope everyone is well but DH and I went to a wedding on Saturday night and Sammy was in the hotel across from the function with nana and was a really good girl. It was soo good to be out and about and let our hair down. I had left a EBM feed with nana so I could have a few drinks. I highly recommend it. If you have someone that can look after your bubba, have a night out with your hubby.
Will be back online next week.

Antheia and Laura: Read both your birth stories. Fantastic, both of you! :D Well done! :clap:
-
Hiya ladies!
Moose: Love that you kept JB as part of Sammy's name! :) Can't wait to read your birth story. Sounds like you had a nice time at the wedding. I haven't left Oliver to go out yet - the thought scares me right now, even though I know he'd be fine. My mum keeps telling me I should go to the cinema with DH one night so that she can babysit!
AFM: Oliver had a check-up today. He'd gained 640g in 2 weeks. He'd also grown 3.5cm! He's just growing so fast!!!
We have our 6 week post-natal check on Friday.
Oh, and last night Oliver was snoring SO loudly! It was honestly keeping me awake! How can something so small and cute make so much noise? :lol:
How are all you lovely mummies and babies doing?
-
Hello ladies!!
so know im late in joining...
Our baby girl Winter Lorraine was born on feb 4th 8pound6, 7 weeks ago today!! She is a little devil,but also so brilliant.
How is everyone else going with their babies? any exciting milestones? anyone else as tired as i feel?
-
'ello mummas' and bubbas'!
anthiea- wow thats one fantasic birth story! i admire your strenth!
laura- thats a nice birth story, im glad it was a good experance :)
sterla- woo your mans growing isnt he! darren snores too, but ive got spray for that...then darren sneezes...its rather cute!
AFM: darren has his 6week check up today. im a little :S about it, as im worried the reflux medicaton (which im not sure worked) is making him contipated (sp?) he always seems to be straining to fart, and his reflux is still there...but when i let him feed for how everlong its not as bad. plus the last 3 days have been hellish with wind so im worried he'll have lost waight :S. on the up side he gets his toung tie cut friday so maybe his re-flux wont be so bad :pray: i just hope we get good news....i really really do!! (that and darren to be in a relaxed mood...
another downer is a good friend of mine had an early m/c. her and her dp didnt know until after she was utd and m/c'd :( and now in 3 weeks he's off to japan for 6months+ ...
-
Orson had his checkup today and has finally gained 210g! I still have to keep up the formula topups though as my milk supply is apparently not enough for him which is making him not suck as effectivly as he should be. so im to start taking Fenugreek again and if no change in a week then im tog et a script for Motilium.
baby_blip - sorry to hear about your friend. :hug: I feel for her. Must be so tough that her DP is going away for so long too..
jords - Welcome! Love your little girls name.
-
welcome jords - thats a cool (pardon the pun) name for your little girl! its soo...elgent!
Anthiea- i feel for her too, she's ready for kids. sadly her DP is still kind of one (he's my DH's age :eyeroll: i read your coming to melboune? im near funky-town (frankston) its not too bad, and the place your DH may end up i a nice place to be!
saw the peadatrition - worst way to spend $120! hopefully we'll get most back with medi care. i wanted to slap him cus a) he told me co-sleeping is a trigger for SIDS (new info he said :eyeroll: ) b) darren is looking "thin and had lots of loose skin which means he's growing taller not fatter and c) "if you dont treat babys they die" and thats a quote...tell me - since WHEN are babies medical conditions? Ohh and he got annoied when i told him the charts for waight gain are for formular fed bubs, not BF fed ones...and 30 years old...opps, i guess i know too much...im a co-sleeping baby wearing, instinct trusting mumma - something he knows nothing about! Ohh and he didnt even waigh darren - all my freaking out for...NOTHING! :wall:
-
baby_blip, what a drop kick of a pead to say he looks thin but didn't even weigh him! The first thing they should do it weigh before anything else is said. Good on you for sticking up for yourself and your bubba. Do you see the MCHN at all? Maybe be a better alternative.
Orson's last feed just before he fed so well. He must have listened and thought oops better start sucking properly! lol.
-
:welcome: Welcome Jords! I love your babies name - beautiful :).
Blip: What a stoopid pead! Why on earth would't he weigh Darren??? Sorry you seem to keep having awful experiences with the 'professionals' - it's not fair :hug:. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend too.
Antheia: :bluecheer: Yay for Orson gaining! I hope he keeps up his good feeds.
-
Good morning All :)
thankyou for the welcome, i wish id joined earlier!
Antheia, I read your birth story-amazing! Couldnt help but giggle about your partner with his placenta experience(no offence intended!)... i wrote in my birth plan i wanted to see the placenta,so after it was birthed the midwife asked if she could show us... my partner " NO" i just smiled as she went through every detail holding it up... poor Nate I think had experienced enough by that stage... was a bit faint by the end heheh...
Blip- what is the go with "health professionals"?? so frustrating when it costs so much for one visit,only for you to leave unsatisfied...
Ok i feel a bit silly, what do the abbrevitions used stand for? as in DS,DP, DH etc?
Hope everone and their Bubs are well!
-
Welcome Jords!! congrats on your baby girl :)
DS = Dear Son
DP = Dear partner
DH = Dear husband
DD = Dear Daughter
ETA (edited to add) i will add you to our list!!!!
-
Jords: You'll love BellyBelly! It's such a wonderful, supportive community! As far as I understand DP/DH/DS, etc stand for "Dear or Darling Partner/Husband/Son/Daughter.
There is a section on BellyBelly (BB) that explains all the different abbreviations. Here's the link:

AFM: Oliver is feeding so well - he's started needing much, much less time to feed. He fed for 10 minutes on one side last night, and then was full enough that he wasn't interested in the other side and even had a little overflow milk coming back out his mouth! Then he slept happily for 4 hours! Good news for him and me :D.
-
anthiea- he was a dope. i do have a MCHN but shes just as bright :rolleyes: im glad orson is feeding well!
sterla- i have no idea why he wouldnt waigh darren - make me worry and not offer any kind of reassurance? pfft. stupid man was 'prolly peeved i wasn't a "yes doc" first time mum. how cute is it when they have milk dribble out...a *almost* got a pic of darren doing that...but he moved and wiped it off! :rofl:
jords- i've taken to throwinf 90% of what "heath pros" say out the window. i know my child...i grew him inside for almost 42 weeks! as for the plasenta i told my MW and DH mine looked funky and the student doc who was there was like "erm...oook..."
AFM: darren had a good sleep last night just over 4hrs. woke up 3 hrs later and had a minni cluster feed for 2hrs. i talked to my mother...i wish i hadn't! she was talking about formular and putting daz on it! grrr when i told her i didn't want to hear it...she ignored me! im staying posative, tomorrow daz gets the tung tie cut, and it'll get easyer! i better go...i want to get some furngeek see if i can up my supply to help darren out...cuz this stress isnt helping my milk!!
hope all you lovely mummas' snd bubs have a good day!
-
Just wanted to say :happybirthday: to Baby Blip! Hope you have a fantastic day, and that Darren gives his mummy lots of birthday smiles! :)
