Hi all. I thought I'd pop in and introduce myself.
My baby boy Campbell Nicholas was born on October 20 weighing 2520 grams. Head 33cm. Length 48.5cm. He was born at 35+6wks and came home last Friday after 9 days in the SCN. He is doing really well so far. He is on a 4hrly routine and is being bottle fed EBM. My DD is fantastic with him, we caught her in his room the other day "reading" to him!
Birth was a much better experience than first time around! I had a vaginal birth with an epidural which I was glad i opted for as I ended up needing a manual placenta removal so it was able to be done without delay. When I had dd I had no drugs for the delivery and ended up with a spinal block after the fact for a MROP so I wasn't taking any chances this time!
The midwives in the SCN were fantastic (we had a great experience with them when dd was born also) and we were glad we chose to return to the same hospital.
So right now we are enjoying having our little man home and getting a kick out of DD's response to him.
