i ladies hope everyone is well...i had a great night,serenity went to bed at 9 woke at 3:45 and then at 7:30, unfortunatly the other 3 kiddies woke up at 6am grrrr im glad i think the yuck from her needles has worn off..and shes awake during the day heaps now
Hi Turtlejane - wow your little one wasn't in a hurry to make the due date but certainly didn't keep you waiting in birth, good one!
I had an emergency c/s last Monday night after my temp raised and bubs heart rate increased, was disappointing but had to be done.
Hi Mon - wow can you send vibes of Serenity's sleeping at night to me, I had a terrible night last night, she's sleeping peacefully now though and does during the day, just have to carry it over to the evening.
The nurse came out this morning and took out my stitches and gave me some advice on getting her to sleep. I have plenty of milk (she's put on 60 grams in 2 days since coming home) but I need to make sure she fills up instead of only have 15 minutes otherwise it's making her hungry at night. If I can get the 4 hours between feeds during the day into the night I'll be stoked!
I probably should be sleeping now while she is I guess!
Oh yeah hi turtlejane my lil princess was born by emerg csec after I was 7cm in 10 odd min but her foot came down at 32+3 talk about a bummer lol
Alison vibes are on there way lol I try to keep her awake alil during the day even if its a lil so she works put the difference, might not be for everyone but her needles did stuff her around
Hi Turtlejane and welcome Jasmine Kayla (she was born on my actual due date lol)
Isnt labour just insane! I was freaking out on the inside but managed to do it without much outward agony lol V took about 3 and a half hours too but was induced a week early due to a dodgy placenta. How is the bf going now? Maybe nipple shields would help?
Hi Arimeh and Tecopa and your little ones
I guess its been pretty quiet in here and if you were wondering why have a look in the belly buddies group for 16 to 31 Nov. We have a straggler we are waiting for lol...
Im so keen to chat with you all so I will stop being a slacker and post in here too
I took V to the family health centre today and was a bit itimidated by the nurse there, It looked really old school too..She had put 380g on in a week though so thats encouraging.
V has been sleeping a little better...only because we have let her sleep with us a night. So weird that she sleeps in her bed in the day but only settles with us at night. Last night I got about 6 hours in a row but it was pretty light sleep as Im scared something will happen if I relax too much. It was nice though. Every afternoon she gets very restless and cries and does massive amounts of poo so at night we are relieved when she finally relaxes, Its just a pity it all happens when Id like to be cooking dinner lol...
Anyway, come check out the bellies buddy thread if you are wondering where some of us are,
Hey natty what a great weight gain have you thought of getting one of those baby bed things to put her in in your bed so you don't have to worry bout squashing her, I put S propped up in a u shape pillow
Hey Natty, I had a better night last night - after seeing the nurse yesterday she told me not to let Amelia go 4 hours between feeds yet, she's too young to go that long so I did the 3 hours and it worked much better. I fed at 10.30 pm, she woke at 1.30 am for a feed, then at 3.30 am and didn't wake up again until 7.30 am! Although I must admit I topped her up with 15mls formula at the 1.30 am feed to tide her over - the nurse said your milk depletes in the evenings so if they are hungry they won't sleep obviously. So I gave her the boob and then the 15mls formula.....only problem was this morning I woke up to a poo explosion, it had gone through everything so not sure if it was the formula. I forgot pull out the frills in the nappy legs so it went all up the side she was lying on, poor petal. She had another runny poo earlier so hopefully it's all out of her system now, doesn't seem to bother her but I feel bad! I can't believe we still have a straggler in the November BB thread ha ha, poor thing!
My DD was born on 21st November at 5:35pm after a pretty uneventful labour....hard labour was from about 4pm so had her out pretty quick with no tears or complications which was a relief.....I had big blood loss and big tears and placenta retention with my DS so it was sooooo good not to have stitches this time around.....
I'm currently breastfeeding at the moment with a nipple shield as I have very flat nipples - sorry TMI! It seems to be going alright at the moment, but I'm such a OCD with things I hate not knowing how much she is going....DS was bottle fed after about a week so I could keep a track of how he was going....but she seems to be putting on good weight so I'll keep going for as long as I can with it....
Looking forward to getting to know everyone in this group!!
Hi, joining too even though Mr I was born 12th Nov - he came a week early! but the Belly Buddies group clicked so I want to keep up with you all.
Not much to report though, Mr I is pretty cuisey, although he thinks that any time awake without a nipple in his mouth is time wasted. He feeds, chucks up, then looks for more.
Will write more when I don't have a baby on my lap.
