Come on April babies!! I hope we can all keep in contact and have maybe April baby thread once everyone had theirs :)

I think my milk has come in as my breast feel fuller (didn't come in till day 3 with my first) this morning he latched on to both breast and had a good feed so I feel better! I do feel really bad about last night though as I tried feeding him around midnight and only managed a few mins before he fell asleep... I ended up falling asleep myself and didn't wake till 5/6am! I felt so bad that I didn't even wake him to feed in that time but I was absolutely exhausted and didn't sleep properly since Tuesday. I never thought breastfeeding would be so hard with baby #2!

Tmi but I done my first poo and now my stitches hurt and sting, midwife should be coming soon so I'll ask her to have a look xx
 
Babyjan, glad your LO had a good feed! Hope you are doing well!

Congratulations misscalais! I'm so happy your little girl came on her own for you!

All these new babies make me excited for going into labour. :cloud9:

Hope the stitches are still in tact and everything ok.

I'm sure your baby would have woken you if he was wanting feeding. Don't feel bad. Glad you managed to get a decent sleep. Hope you feel better for it.
 
Enjoy the fact you got to sleep babyjan! My dd would never have let me do that. They have a special way of letting you know when they are ready to eat RIGHT NOW ;) Sorrybf is difficult with no 2. I've heard it just doesn't really get less painful or easier but maybe it does a bit emotionally because you know it gets better and there's light at the end of the tunnel
 
Bsbyjan I def wouldn't feel bad for not getting up for a night feedvlikw that. With ds2 I hadn't slept a wink in 2 night's one in Labour and second I was filled with adrenaline from.haven given birth and ds was vomiting up red mucus all night long. 3rd night midwife told me to set my alarm for 3am to deed baby which I stupidly did I was up for about 45 trying to convince ds to wake up and latch but he was too exhausted too so I had to give up and we both slept until 7.30 next morning. We were both much happier next morning. I was kicking myself for setting my alarm for nothing could have had a full night's sleep. 18 months later I've barely got one since!!

I found bf v v v hard with ds2 but my dh and friend were so good to me I got through first 2 weeks and was grand after that so glad I had stuck it out despite everyone and everyone telling me it was to hard just give a bottle. I lasted 3 months I couldn't deal with him needing feeding every 20mins but my friends baby only ever bf every 3 hours she did it for ages. So I'll play it by war this time might get a good 3 hour one this time! 😁
 
Emma4g can u add me to the front page 😁 I'm due 14th April team yellow 😁
 
My husband got home to meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner. I had laundry done and errands ran and not much else. He commented on how much calmer I have been since finding out our induction date. But yesterday and last night feel very very different maybe I'll make it until Monday. He asked that I stay home today. So I'm going to put batteries in things and take things out of boxes. I found a back up coming home outfit in preemie size in case the other is way too big. I tried to buy breastfeeding bras yesterday but the size that fit me was a whole cup smaller than I normally wear. I have two sport bra types and I think I will wait until my breasts are different before I try to choose one of those. I'm still wearing my pre-pregnancy bras and with the weight I have lost those don't quite fit. And I know my boobs are going to get weird!!

Congratulations Misscalais and babyjan! Woohoo!!!!

Sorry not been around much, got a stinking cold from my son which is helping matters immensely :)


Can I ask a quick question of you lovely lot?

I had a spinal obviously on Weds and the top of my bum still feels half numb if that makes sense. It's not fully numb but feels a bit odd and almost heavier than the rest of my body. I'm seeing midwife again on Monday but wondering if I should be seeing anyone else or of its normal?

For recap I had a kielland forceps delivery and Josie was also stuck for 2 and a half minutes with shoulder dystocia. I am going to the toilet OK, it's just this odd feeling across my bum that has me a bit worried, as I'd have thought it'd have gone by now.
 
Thanks ladies ur too kind xx

Redhed hun bless u not sure wat it cud be but id def ask doc or midwife xx
 
Thanks ladies!!! Omg maternity ward, soooo noisy. I don't know how anyone ( who doesn't have a private room ) stays for longer than a night. I hadn't slept in 48 hours, my bub and the other bub in my room played off each other for a good few hours so as soon as he cried my bub cried, get them settled then the nurse would come in do obs on my baby ( she pooped inside me before she was born so needed extra monitoring ) so that would wake her. So then i had to settle her again and right after that the other baby would get upset again etc in the end my bub ended up beside herself screaming for at least an hour and i couldn't settle her so the nurse came and took her to try see if she could bring any wind up ( i couldn't get her to bring anything up but knew she was very windy ) and apparently she brought a whole heap of mucous up which was really thick and a heap of wind. I woke in a right panic looking for her because i had expected her to be brought back with in an hour to feed her again. So went out and shes sleeping peacefully so haven't disturbed her. Ive asked for early discharge so hopefully can get into the home mw program where a mw will come out to my home for the next few days to check us.

Emma your bump is gorgeous, your eyebrows are great too!

I would most definitely ask! #1 was stuck for the shoulder thing I can't spell for 45 minutes, I also had an epidural; but no forceps. My numbness went away normally but I do have permanent back pain at the epidural site. So def ask! I hope it goes away soon!!

my hospital is all private rooms. they take your baby out? mine doesn't the babies stay in the room the entire time. different countries I suppose. I don't think I would like sharing a room at all. I don't blame you for wanting to go home early..
 
Congratulations to Misscalais and babyjan!

@Redhead - After my EMCS with DS I was mostly numb around that area for nearly a week. When I queried it at the time was told it was normal.


AFM - Feels like little lady is not shifting all that much from being back to back. Been suffering back ache for the last couple of days, but today in particular my BH have been really painful but nothing to suggest a pattern, and lightening crotch seems worse too. Been trying to remember how contractions felt when I first noticed them with DS, but cannot recall for the life of me.
 
Thanks misscalais ......jus had my eyebrows done :)

Least shes brought the mucus up in hospital ...i remember dd choked on it at homr n man i panicked !
