Ami, Im Emma, 25. My DP Kev is 27. We have a beautiful daughter named Tayah who was born on the 25th of July. I had a great pregnancy up until the last 2 weeks when my blood pressure rose sky high, I ended up in hospital 8 days before my due date and was induced 6 days before my due date. I was in labour for 10 hours and had an epidural and stitches. Tayah weighed 7lb 8oz. We were in hospital for a week after she was born because of bad jaundice and she needed to be on a light bed. The jaundice was really bad because she wouldnt feed and got dehydrated, the midwives kept persisting with me trying to breastfeed her only to realise 3 days later that she couldnt because of a tongue and lip tie (getting frustrated just thinking about it), and so they finally allowed me to express feed her. We never got the breastfeeding down pat coz of the tongue/lip tie so I expressed milk for her every feed for the first 2 months, it was really hard and I basically couldnt leave the house because every 3 hours I was on the pump machine for about half an hour or longer. So after 2 months of been trapped in my own home I realised I wasnt enjoying being a mother because of the expressing situation and decided to put her onto formula. I havnt looked back since. As for the sleeping I couldnt ask for any better, she has slept everynight right through since she was 3 weeks old (apart from when she has had a cold) so im very lucky in that sense.
As for bub #2 we definetly will be waiting until at least June next year, I finish my uni course then which means we will be way better off financially, and should hopefuuly have built on our land by then too.
