stelra- thats horrable. that midwife needs a kick up the back passage! if its affecting you write a letter of compaint! im doing that about daz's stay in the pead ward. going back there bought ALOT up, and sometimes i think places like this need just one voice to pipe up so they realise that some members of staff arent living up to whats expected of them! when you have #2 will you have a c-cection or a VBAC? or havent thought about it?
Moose: im sure sammy will be ok! she's still bright and cherpy. what is your mummy intinct telling you? im glad you got sammy to pee - i know last stint in hossy myself and a nurse waited an HOUR for daz to twinkle! sure made an interesting converation thats for sure! maybe sammys tummy was streching for more food? i hope all goes well...maybe check her temp if you think UTI ; i know when i had one my temp went though the rough by the time i got to the stage of me throwing up! (mind you i was 16 at the time....)
Jords: Yay for getting a new pram! now to learn how to steer it! haha...as for peeing in a cup i can do that...but when it comes to peeing on sticks...ahem...not so good :P
AFM: had a talk with DH about this whole hospital thing. broke down and finaly told himi feel like im failing darren. im now also going to change his formular...see if that makes him a little less blocked up. DH suggested i see a counceller about what happend in the paed ward...but the LC i norrmaly see said we'd talk about it...i swear if i get depressed that head of nurseing will be blamed. just like if i cant get darren back on the boob its her fault...but im writing a LOVELY compaint letter to the hospital telling them that they're labour/post natale/SCN/LC depts are LOVELY but the paed ward needs a kick up the bum when it comes to babys! other then that darren hasnt slept much today...i think once hes de-blocked (thanks to the bloody extra formular then what is on the back of the tin!) he'll be better...i feel much better since writeing this complait letter to the hospital....and tomorrow i'll hopefully give it to them...if not next week so i my LC can read it...Ohh tomorrow i see another LC about mottilim and attachment...fingers crossed it works out!
we are up to 7 feeds withhout a spew and went to get Sammy weighed this am ( for peace of mind) and she has gained 60gr since yesterday!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT!! Am still going to make the appointment at the paed as she has not been gaining so much in the last 6 weeks but the LC I saw again this am is so awesome & supportive, she says Sam still looks really healthy evenm though she is not gaining that much weight!
Little Padawan has just woken up!! BBL for personals
Im here! Didnt realise there was a new thread oops!
We're ok here. Still having breastfeeing battles but what can you do?
I have overcome one of most nasty habbits too. Biting my nails! I haven't touched them for 11 days and they are growing nicely! Woo! Only thing is they feel funny when i type lol.
Moose: That's great that Sammy's going so many feeds without spewing! And fantastic that she'd gained 60g in that short amount of time! It must be a bit frustrating not knowing what's wrong. I hope you get some answers, or at least some reassurance, from the paed appointment . Oh, and well done on catching that pee !
Blip: That's good that you had a talk with your DH about all the hospital stuff. It's good that he knows how you feel - it might help you to feel better just getting it off your chest to a person face-to-face. That's great that your LC is happy to talk about it too. I should really practice what I preach here ... I have a lot of unresolved issues and emotions surrounding my c/s and I haven't talked to anyone (not even my DH) about it IRL. I think I'm going to have to though, cause they seem to be building up a bit just recently. I find myself lying in bed at night wide awake going over and over everything.
I'm not complaining - just thinking aloud. It's really nothing compared to what you've gone through though Blip! You should write that letter - one to get it off your chest, and two - well, simply because it sounds like pretty shocking treatment!
I'm definitely going to aim for a VBAC next time - I so, so want to experience child birth!
Jords: Woot about the pram! Have you been out with it yet? How are you and Winter?
Antheia: Well done on not chewing your nails! Bad habits are really hard to conquer, so you've done a good job there! And a big "awwww" about Orson laughing! Isn't it the most gorgeous sound in the world!
AFM: Had a pretty quiet day. Oliver's been pretty sleepy, but couldn't sleep cause I had to go into the bank to sign more papers to do with the house. He just can't seem to sleep when we're out and about - I guess there is just far too much to look at! Then, cause he was so tired he cried in the car most of the way home! I hate it when it happens - when we get home he has tears streaming down his face. Then I pick him up and the crying dies down to a whimper... poor bub .
Sterla- Dosn't it just make you want to cry when they do that sad little sob with tears on their face?? It breaks my heart just thinking about it!
You should definately talk to someone IRL about how your feeling about your c/s... maybe your local midwives would know of support groups? I dont really know what to say except we are here for you! Although talking to someone who knows exactly how you feel is different...
Winter is exactly the same when we leave the house she is always so interested in everything else to go to sleep even if she is SO tired!! We havnt been out in the new pram yet, cleaned the house today but i cant wait to run peoples feet over in this one!
oh crap Winter has awoken ill be back in a bit to finish this post
