Hi I hope I can join in here
My little man wasn't due till Jan but arrived on the 5th of November.
Flynn is doing really well in special care and I am hoping for him to be transfered to a hospital closer to home this week when a bed opens up.
Hubba - WOW 3 children, I salute you!! You say Kara has severe reflux can I ask what that is like for you besides the vomiting? as my Damian has been crying a bit during and just after some feeds so was wondering if reflux is a possibility as I would hate for him to be in pain but I'm not sure if it's just normal or not. And any settling tips up your sleeve for the 1st month????
Kat - Congratulations on the birth of your baby, even if it took you by surprise & you had to meet him earlier. Looks like he's a little Scorpio like the rest of ours. I am really glad to hear that he is doing well & good luck getting him transferred. What happened? How are you feeling??
I made it to 26 weeks of my pregnancy with Flynn and was admitted to hospital.
I was told I had too much fluid and they couldn't let me go home as it was too dangerous (and I was thinking yeh yeh ur full if it) I later discovered how dangerous it was to have so much fluid.
So to make it easier for u all to understand I wont use the medical term of Polyhydramious and just tell u what I was told. Most women have between 5 and 24% fluid I had (at my biggest) 79% fluid. Now thats bad enough but as my daughter Bethany was a c-sect too there was alot of pressure on my old scar and there was a high risk of it tearing as well as a high risk of my waters breaking and going into premature labor.
I had 4 procedures called Amnio reductions (long needle into belly with tube attached and drained fluid out)
in total I had over 15 litres removed over the 4 reductions.
There were lots of risked involved with the reductions and with my 4th reduction I was thrown into labor.
I contracted for about 6 hours (while the doctors tried to work out if they could stop my labor)and when they did an internal I was 5cms dilated it was all systems go and off to theatre we went as there was no turning back from there.
Flynn was born at 1.15am on the 5th of November
The doctors got drenched with my waters even though they had drained 4.7 litres the day before there was still enough waters to splash onto the ground like a tipped over bucket when the doctors popped the sack around Flynn.
Flynn struggled to breath when he was born so was put on oxygen for a little while but after a bit he was breathing on his own. He is still in hospital as he is still small but he is not in NICU he is in special care as he doesn't need anything much asides from feeding and monitoring and he is in an open cot not a humidicrib.
