I didn't realise we already had a thread going, so looks like I've graduated to here now too

Ava Susan was born 6th December at 11:09am by caesarean, due to IUGR, low fluid and breech presentation. She was delivered at 36+6 and weighed 6lb 4oz, 48cm long and 34cm head circumference. Not as small as we expected, but still very petite and dainty!

We have recovered well, I have not needed much in the way of pain relief, and Ava has been an excellent sleeper during the day. Night time is a bit hit and miss! She is a bit disinterested and pulls off the nipple and is a slow sucker but once she gets going she does really well. I had lots of expressed colostrum, so we have been topping up with that. Today she became a bit jaundiced so they are keeping an eye on that too.

Milk isn't in yet... Today is day 3 (c section being day 1), sounds like it normally takes a little longer with a c section? Do you get any clue that it is going to happen soon or does it just happen? I seem to be producing plenty of colostrum and have had some tingling and sharper pains in my nipples but I don't know whether that is because of the nurse from hell rough handling them or not!

So excited to see who will join the list next... We have made a big start to the month already! Hope everyone and their bubbas are well and recovering nicely
