Ok so I posted replies to every one a few days ago and got no replies and so I checked and of course there was no posts in the normal place! I didn't know where to find us.
I am just gonna do a for me post. Sorry everyone. i did include you all last time.
So Jemima has dropped heaps of feeds and is now only having 4-6 bf's a day. 2 months ago she was having 10-12+ feeds when she was sick and refused food so it feels very sudden to me to not be feeding her as much. ATM I am giving her a morning feed, a before nap sleep, a before bed feed and a feed during the night. Sometimes like today she feed at about 5 or so and then still fed before sleep. but it feels like it is all happening too fast and I am loosing our bond. Sometimes she asks for a feed but then she will only sip at the boob and then giggle at me without taking anything.
On other fronts, as some of you may know I am passionate about birth and helping women have lots of choices about how they birth their babies. I have looked around my community and looked for groups who could use my help but there are none... However I am not a girl to give up or let the fact that nothing is being done for women to stop me. So I have decided to start the Friends of the birth centre sunshine coast. I have invited all of the prominent midwives and doulas and anyone else who cares about birth in the local area to help me get a birth centre and also to get one-one midwifery care for the women who live here. It is a huge task but I have never let "it is hard to do" stop me from anything in this life and so I have no intention of letting it stop me now. I am a member of the maternity coalition who believe in continuity of care. Which means having one midwife to follow you thru the whole pregnancy. Studies show that if you have one known midwife, then whatever happens with your birth, the support you receive can help you cope with any of the circumstances that you face. That is what I want for my community. So that is what I am going to create. I really feel strong and powerful and in control of my local communities choices. no ones else is offering leadership so that is what I am going to give and I want the best for us. I hope you all will support me because I think that there will be days when it is hard and I need your words of encouragement.
