Ok I have a spare few moments....finally.....Lachlan was born Wednesday August 14 at 957pm. That morning I had several large bowel movements and a bloody show, but nothing else. I took the girls to their swimming lessons that morning and started to feel crampy. I then went to the drs at lunch with my eldest and felt that something was starting, even the reception lady was concerned. At 1pm I took my middle daughter to kinder and told them I was going to have a baby very soon. They hurried me to go home lol. By 2 pm I was getting contractions 5-6 minutes apart. Had some trouble contacting dh but when I did he was hone quick. I'd called the hospital and they wanted me in asap because of the breech position. By 3pm they were 2-4 minutes apart. We got to the hospital around 4 and I was 4cm dilated. I laboured til 9pm and was only 6cm. I was a bit upset because the contractions became hard and fast. At 915 my waters broke and thats when things went quick. I was told I had to breath not push for safety reasons with breech. It was so hard but I did it. I remember looking down between my legs seeing these little legs, a body and an arm just hanging there. It was amazing. Not long after he was born. He's so beautiful. He has an operation for a hernia and is on antibiotics for his kidneys. Other than that he's perfect and I successfully birthed a breech baby with no issues.
The only issues I'm having...again...is feeding. He screams every time I try and attach him and if he does get on he has a suck or two and just screams. I have so much milk. This morning I managed to express 200mls each side in 20mins. I have a freezer full of ebm. It bugs me coz I have the supply and they just don't want it. So then I have to boil the jug and wait til the ebm is warmed, all the while he is screaming for a feed. It happens every feed. If I could only get him to latch on.
