Omg eivie I am! I thought it was because the room was too warm but every night I'm soaked! What that about?
Hi everyone, lovely to be here ;-)
Kalina- I'm so glad he is back with you. I do have to track back and read up on what's been going on, but still. I am so happy for you.
Eivie- I have had sweat dripping of me for hours. I thought it was the room too. Hormones???
Yesterday I attempted a shower only to have every midwife in my room helping me back to bed. I was not ready. Been up since though so hopefully shower today.
Trying so hard with milk. Hopefully that will start to work today.
Bub has a lot of mucus in her tummy and keeps bringing it up along with whatever I've managed to give her. I just want to take all the mucus away.
Yeah hormones, I asked the mchn about it and she said it's similar to menopausal women and can last quite a while :mad: I guess we just have to have a shower at 3am every day, have 3 changes of pj's every night and get used to sleeping on a towel! Is it selfish to say I'm glad I'm not the only one? :p
Williever isn't that mucus awful? Poor c-section bubs :( Lachlan had it too and it was just horrible. It was gone after a day or so though. Is she getting any colostrum? It seemed to help but we had to express it because they don't like to suckle with the mucus making them feel yucky.
I'm gonna start some tummy time today to try to help with her gas too.
Still no name 😳 3560 g or 7 pounds 13. Length 50. Head 37cm.
I hear you all on the sweat! So foul, but I too am glad its not just me!! I don't remember it being this bad the last two times. Hopefully it settles soon. Breastfeeding is going well here, she feeds constantly during the day but is having longer stretches over night so that's good! I think she is having some wind issues but I think its because my letdown is so fast she is gulping milk in and its hard on her tummy, but that should sort its self out as time goes on.
Kalina, glad you're home!
Phy-Men just don't get it do they?! Sorry you're having a hard time, I'm glad you've got women around you x
Cattie-How's your milk going?
Eivie-Sounds like you're doing all the right things, glad DS is back up to birth weight, well done!
Williever-Hope you're feeling better today.
Hi to anyone else I've missed
How is everyone?
I'm still pumping colostrum. Apparently milk is coming in but I'm getting 3-5mls each time. Paed would like me to start using shield today. Should I listen to him or keep pumping? It's not exactly good flow....
I dont know Williever... Can you ask for a lactation consultant to come and help you out? Wiyh DS1 it took a week or so for my milk to come in and I was feeding him 5ml of hand expressed colostrum daily. Its a hard slog, good on you for sticking at it :) x
My milk takes a week to come in. Three days puts a lot of pressure on us mummas
Ok good. I'll just relax a bit! Boobies are huge and heavy so it looks good this time :-)
Hope all bubbas are doing well x
It seems a lot of us take a while for milk to come in. Do all babies lose heaps of weight if it takes a week? All the midwives gave me the impression that we were in a bad situation for bub. I'm not second guessing our feeding, just curious...
Lachlan is 2 weeks old today! Last night we put the onesie he was in immediately after birth and wow has he grown! I don't know if it will fit him next time it's washed lol. It looked so big on him the first day (aaawww... Dreamy eyes)
I never weighed my babies after the first, I just looked at them and looked at them growing out of clothes ;)
Hi Ladies, I'm finally home and on a computer! Glad so many of us are here now :)
Kalina I'm so glad you're home and everything is ok!
Phy any progress on dh? Hope you are coping ok despite his lack of help.
williever, are you still at hospital? 3-5mls each time would be awesome for me! I usually get <1ml :( But I never did express well. Keep at it, it will be so worth it!
lady-bug so glad your bf and little girl are doing well.
tegam still stalking you!
eivie aww... glad laclan is growing so well.
And hi to everyone else, sorry if I've missed someone. I'm heading back to the hospital at midnight for a feed so in somewhat of a rush. So I was discharged today, but ds (aww first time calling him ds :babyboy:) is still in scn. He hasn't had a good run, though nothing serious. At birth he was admitted because he wasn't breathing or regulating his temp as well as he should. Then yesterday admitted again for jaundice to be put under the light. Was meant to come home this afternoon but bloods showed not enough improvement so another day and test tomorrow. Been going in every 3hrs but I'm going to skip some overnight and express instead - at this stage he is hardly getting any milk from me anyway and has formula top-ups. Very tiring doing feeds/formula/expressing. Can't wait until my milk comes in!
Cattie do you live near the hospital? It must be so tiring. I hope bub has good results today and you can take him home.
I'm still in hospital.
Bub last night kept going into a panic not being able to breathe. Obviously haven't slept much. It was like the mucus was back?
That sounds exhausting Cattie, mixed feeding is exhausting but adding trips to the hospital takes it to a whole new level. I hope bub is better soon.
Williever that would be scary, hope it clears up quickly.
I'm baby wearing because I want to and hopefully it helps with mucus. The looks I'm getting on the ward are very interesting. Only one midwife was outwardly positive about it. Interesting!
But lots of burps :-)
