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
moose: WOOO glad to hear about the 60g in waight gain! always a plus when that happens. my LC said that they have a growth spert right around now - so she wont gain so much but grow!
anthiea : Aww...YAY for orson laughing. and for not biteing your nails! maybe i should try it haha...im s shocker...
jords - haha bout running people over. thats half then fun! in an evil kinda way
Sterla - if you ever want to talk im happy to listen, i know im over the salty brine but something is better then nothing. you can always email me (or any one else at tehmason(at)gmail.com) or if you want some one to talk to i may even be able to call you? i think when it comes go dealing with things we all find what others may walk though we army crawl and what others army crawl though we walk though. i understand what you're going though with laying awake at night thinking about it - i do the same about lots of things. but you know something? what happend happend for a reson. i keep telling myself that. and under no sercomstance have you done the wrong thing. i suggest you write a letter too, sometimes people need to be shown the mistakes they've made. maybe talk to your DH about it. hell even cry - i know i did *alot* of that yesterday. tomorrow i may cry over it again, but i may not. you've held your self together better then i would have done. Daz has had meany issues but its not the same as what you went though - no skin to skin makes me want to beat your midwife with a sign over and over again. like i said if you need some one to talk to...im hear to listen, i know its not much...but its there if you need it.
AFM: went to the LC today. she wasnt my normal one who asked "do you really need the motilum" YES I DO! she gave me some paper work to show my GP, from the RWH melb explaining how/why its used i also got Darren to attach for a whole 60seconds! then he pulled away...but i almost cried i was so happy! then he had a good EMB feed (the first in a few days!) but i didnt put thickner in it so it came back up , opps...but he didnt really need it. he would have been fine had he not have had to move! after the LC appt. i went to another room and le LC i had said "well dispite everything you've been though you're still trying...your an inperation and i may, if you dont mind use to as an example to others" and i said "dont just use me, you guys got me this far, with out the support he'd be a formular fed baby...its your work too that got him this far"
agh i think A/F is back...again! last time it lasted a whole 48hrs...i hope this is the 'real deal' and i can get it over and done with! (...ey that maybe why daz didnt want EMB yesterday!)
Hope you're all having a good day!
