Thought I would come in and introduce myself, my name is Kelly and my precious daughter TARA ROSE was born on 12th October via elective c/s after 1 IVF cycle and 3 FET's (of which we used a total of 7 of our 15 embryo's). I opted for the c/s due to some ongoing health issues and it was found at delivery that I was placenta previa so the best case all around for us. I have recovered extremely well from the surgery and am feeling back to my old self.
Tara is such a good baby and only cry's for feeding, although she is a bit of a slow starter to get feeding and was taking about 1 1/2 hours to feed although touch wood she feed last night in 30 minutes and considering she is feeding between 3-4 hourly at the moment that certainly helps with sleep.
We attempted b/fing with Tara however I was diagnosed as being anemic 2 weeks before delivery and due to the placenta issue at birth I had a bit of blood loss so I'm now on iron supplements to get my levels back up. Unfortunately due to the low iron levels my milk has never really come in so Tara is a bottle baby with some expressed b/m although my milk is now already starting to dry up as I am only pumping 40ml per day for her.
Anyway, that's a little about us and where we are at the moment. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing our parenthood journey's together.
Hi girls, sorry I have been MIA but little miss cranky pants is very demanding at the moment and I am trying everything, dont know if its colic or whether she is just a cranky cow but it is draining, night time isnt much better up every 1.5 to 2 hours so mummy is a cranky pants too lol. I have given up the coffee as well Skye and the chocolate omg life as I know it has ceased....it is all for the greater good though. She just doesnt sleep for long stretches unless she is in the HAB, but even night time she isnt sleeping for long and that is with me so i dont know i hope it is a phase.
