Babies Born October 2007 #34

Amelia - wow, I thought I had a heavyweight at 12kg! LOL. It's also taken him months and months to go from 10kg to 12kg, so he's slowed right down too. Still in 0-1s here though.

I went into labour with DS at about 7.30pm at night - very convenient cause DD was alseep in bed! So DH and I went down to the hossy to see what was happening and my mum stayed at home with DD. I was in a bit of denial that it was the real thing, so when the midwives told me I would be staying and would be having my baby that night, DH frantically went and called his mum to go to our place and stay with DD because I wanted my mum with me! LOL. So they did the switch, I had DS at 12.45pm that night and after an hour or so DH and my mum went home so everyone could get some sleep. I only stayed 36 hours and DH, my mum and MIL looked after DD amongst the three of them.

I wasn't opposed to DD coming into the delivery suite if I happened to go into labour during the day, but there's no way I would have woken her at night.

This time with 2 at home, I'm probably going to stay in hospital a bit longer, 2 or 3 days max. I will have my mum here again and between her, DH and MIL, they'll sort out the kids while I get to know bub and hopefully get a bit of rest before going home.

Question - are any of the other preggie bellies still b'feeding in the 2nd tri or further? I'm finding it sooooo uncomfortable feeding L at the moment, especially on my right side because I have feet stuck under my ribs (bub's not L's )and it's sooooo uncomfortable
