Hi Carmey - are you demand feeding? I've never done that so Amelia's been in a routine since day 1, doesn't work for some but has for us so far. Other than that don't forget she has formula feeds to fill her up which definitely helps!!!!
Hi Everyone else - sorry for selfish post, about to eat dinner.....will get back on later for persies.
I'm in shock girls, I saw the OB today, turns out the infection I had was a rare staph infection that got into my amniotic fluid and passed through to the placenta while in labour, it's so rare and so serious that they can't believe Amelia survived. He said if he hadn't done the c-section when he did the results could have been very very different. I can't believe Amelia could've died, it's a very strange feeling and every time I look at her I feel like crying now. Poor little thing. He did say that even though I would have to be extremely unlucky to have that happen again he would suggest going a c-section again next time, although if I want to try and go vaginal I can but I will be considered high risk so probably better to be safe than sorry. He also said he's happy for me to start trying again when Amelia is 8 months old, I was like, cough cough, I think we'll wait a tad longer thanks ha ha! DH wants to start trying when Amelia turns 1!!!!
All this has made me feel so much better about having the c-section and I look at Amelia now and love her even more which I didn't think was possible. I love my OB! He was so sweet, he was cuddling her and telling her how cute she was, he held her the whole time of my appointment - even when I was on the table and he was checking my tummy he was holding her with one hand and feeling my tummy with the other! He even got excited that I still have the line running down my belly, god knows why! I asked if he did lyposuction, he thought I was joking!
