My bub came on 24/5/11, a beautiful little girl, 9 days overdue, so it puts me in this thread. I was induced with gel on the Sunday, and more gel on the Monday morning and afternoon. ARM was done by OB on the Tues morning at 8am. Wanted to start me on synto drip straight away, but I said I wanted te epi first. Got epidural at 11:30am, then they checked and said I was 9 cm, so I didnt need the synto drip. (Not sure why they didnt check me before epi). My gorgeous daughter was born 3:47pm, 3.14kg (6lb9), 48.5 cm long, and a head full of hair!
Breastfeeding started off slowly, Bub was slow to learn and had poor latch which left me with sore, cracked and bleeding nipples. After many consults with LC's and help from the lovely BB members, breastfeeding is getting easier and less painful.
Bub was only small at birth, and has now regained her weight and 130g more at her last weigh in at 3 weeks old. The GP was concerned with this weight gain and said it wasnt enough, but my MCHN said it was within the normal range. Bub is doing about 8 feeds a day atm, and heaps of wet and poo nappies, so I think she is getting enough milk.
Shanti - How are you and your baby Lillian going?
Berrme - I recognise your name from the TTC thread when we were both TTC, how are you and how are you finding motherhood? Congrats on baby Alice.
Duckyboos - Are you sticking on BB now that bub is here? Always nice for somewhere to come if you need support and advice. Hows yor baby Mary Beth going?
This thread is quiet, are there any more mummies with babies 3-4 weeks out there?
