Oh dear, FF! Hard to settle babies make it so hard to function when you have other kids who need your energy too. I hope you find something that works and gets you both lots of rest x
Thinking I need to head to an LC. Wish they had them at hospital. Would've been awesome to be told about ties when they are born before they develop their habitual latch.
4 week check today. My bubba is 4.2kg, 54cm long. Slow and steady! Things still not right with me. I have enhanced mchn coming tomorrow.
How is everyone else settling in??
Tubbles have you seen the LC yet? I think that its really annoying that it's so common that babies aren't diagnosed with ties. You would think given the issues it can cause and how common the condition is, that any medical person involved with the start of babies life (midwife, OB etc) would be trained to recognize it.
FF I'm glad bubs is growing so well! I hope that you get some more help or answers when you see the enhanced mchn.
My uterus infection has finally nearly cleared up. It really freakin hurt for a while.
We've had a few rough nights with DS and DD... They take it in turns to wake up and neither will settle without me... DS has chunked out since milk has come in... He still only gets 2-3 feeds a day but my goodness... He's chubby!!!
Crap, think I missed your thing about an infected uterus, EssTee, how'd they figure that out?
What is an enhanced MCHN?
DS2 has only put 30g on from his birth weight. Feels lame, but I guess it's really 330g in over two weeks...
No LC yet, there doesn't seem to be any in this area :( seeing a gp that has knowledge of ties tomorrow.
It's ok i can't remember if I mentioned it. I had some pain that got bad really quick. Went from what I though was trapped wind to bad cramps. My MW came and felt my tummy and said she suspected a bit of an infection brewing and gave me a script for ABs and told me to expect some festy clots!
I haven't weighed DD since she was a week old.. She'd put on 500g [emoji15]. I'm not surprised.. She's very greedy!!!
Enhanced mchn offer more in depth help and advice, access to more health and support services.
DD only had gained 65g in 3 weeks and was on weekly weigh in. But finally put on a good amount the last 2 weeks. Now 500gm over birth weight. Hard to think she's 5 weeks tomorrow. Dreaded 6 week inmunisations are looming
I don't know what to do with immunisations. I usually do a delayed schedule, but wonder if it will stuff up my FTB payments....
I'd skip them all together if I could, but I know Id get mummy guilts if something was to happen to my girl. Wish I could get the needles for her and pass the vaccine on somehow. Hubby usually does it but I'll be doing it alone this time.
She has a bad cough at the moment and sounds like she gasps for air. Bit scary :(
Oh no! Have you seen a dr? I'd be scared too.
She's now on prednisone for 3 days as she has croup
Oh no! Poor subsequent children, they seem to pick up all sorts from the older kids and from having to just fit in to the lives we have to continue. Would be so lovely if we could really do the "spending 30 days around the bed" type thing.
How many of you feel "done"? I thought I would feel complete after having my third. I always wanted 3... But now I'm feeling like having another, like there is a little girl out there for me too, in the universe, but my logical brain tells me 3 is plenty - 4 would just push us past what we can manage.
I was 1000000% certain I was done, but my body craves 1 more. Would love a son, my body is a girl maker predomantly though lol
Oh no FF I really hope that your Bub recovers quickly. Must be scary. DS has a cold and cough at the moment so I'm really hoping that DD doesn't get it... Had a few horrid nights!!
In my head, I've always said I wanted two... I was brought up to think two was a good number... But I'm definitely not done. I have to convince DP we aren't done... And then I have to get ready for the onslaught of "you're crazy" and "but you already have a pigeon pair" etc etc...
We already had a pigeon pair too, EssTee. I always wanted 3 though. My mum thought 2 was enough, and tried to distill that in to me, but maybe that is why I wanted 3, haha. DP only wanted 2, said maybe a third if we had two girls (when pregnant with DS1), but he wouldn't want more as we'd need a people mover, lol.
