April's Spring babies 2013 ---- Babies are arriving

[Smanderson]

Awww Cherry thanks for sharing your story hun So happy for you its so exciting Paige is here already cant believe she flipped round so last minute cheeky lil minx

How is she sleeping for you now hun? How are you enjoying being a mum? How is Ryan coping being a dad?

When are you seeing your midwife to check your stitches? Hopefully its just part of the healing process sounds like you may have had that bug gong round the hospitals if they were being super careful when they came in to your room just what you dont need after giving birth

Im glad you and Paige are safe and well hun and fantastic your both home but now you must rest and make Ryan do all the running around for you so you can rest and recover

 

[Rah]

Congrats cherry xx
And copy everything said above
Please take it easy a section is classed as a major op dont over do it xx

 

[Cherrybump]

She sleeps pretty well from 7am to 12 at night lol then from 12 to 7am she like super restless. So i know its going to be a long night to night. me and ryan have came to the plan one does one night the other does the other night that way we're both getting a good night sleep lol. He's helping out alot. He has to take a mattress of my bed though as its to high to get into just now.

Love being a mum. I would be totally bored without her here making life worth every second.

Midwife checked my stitches this morning and said they were good just a pity that i had to move around so much and make it bleed so ill get her to look at it again tomorrow and paige should be getting weight tomorrow to.

Im hoping its my midwife that comes out cause i would love to see her again now ive had paige.

It will soon be your turn hun xxxxx

 

[Cherrybump]

Thanks Rah. I really should have took that more in lol feeel bit stupid now that i did the washing

 

[Smanderson]

Thats a good idea hun, at least this way you each get a good sleep every other night i might suggest it to hubby when DJ is here im sure she will flip her sleeping round soon hun, hopefully over the next few weeks she will learn to be more awake in the daytime

Thats so lovely cant wait to feel the same way once DJ is here i saw him at the scan today, his lil face with his chubby cheeks and big eyes and button nose my eye leaked a but LOL

Hopefully your midwife can put your mind at rest tomorrow hun, hopefully it will just be normal leaking

I saw some old work friends today was so lovely to see them again, made me feel like me again for a lil while which was so nice as i have felt in a daze for weeks with all thats been going on

 

[Apple111]

Hi cherry, nice to hear from you , I kept checking to see how u were getting on glad ur little princess arrived well

U take it easy xx

 

[Apple111]

Wow Apple thats awful, they basically just left you to it!! Keep us posted when you get a call and make sure you call her if you not heard anything by maybe 4pm! They cant keep leaving you like this you are very calm about the whole thing, i would be marching down there and getting VERY cross with them! Then
again...im one MASSIVE hormone at the minute LOL

Have you looked on spinningbabies.com i think its mainly for breach babies but maybe something on back to back? Do you think this could
mean a section? xxxx

I hope not but will go with what they say...I will look at that site thanks
I rang today , still not got hold of anyone. I managed to get myself booked into maternity day unit tomorrow at 11 to get checked out.. Just wish things would start on there own...been walking n keeping busy all day n bouncing on ball

 

[Vidal0123]

[Apple111]

My baby boy is finally home after 1 week in the NICU! I am so excited!!

That's amazing, enjoy every minute hon. Can't wait to meet our little person now xx

 

[Smanderson]

Apple im glad your going to your maternity day unit they are fantastic at the one here hopefully once your on their radar they will sort you out ...really disgusted with your docs/midwives though you should make a whopper of a complaint once baby arrives


Vidal congrats on bringing your little man home can we see more pics of your lil cutie?? Love baby pics xx


I have the specialist today im hoping she will talk about possible induction but thats probably wishful thinking, she is so relaxed about things...if i ask..should i go back to work she shrugs and says...ok...then i say shall i do less hours and she says...thats a good idea... Im like whaaaat!! maybe i should ask if i should go sky diving and see what she says

 

[Cherrybump]

Sky diving sounds like a good plan while pregnant lol

Thanks ladies. I sopke to the midwife and she said its looking good and its only leaking on one side which inst to bad just keep it clean and dry.

Ive been up since 5am paige finally fell asleep and i could only manage an hour after because i kept hearing her stir lol..

Im going to try and combined feeding. As you said Sm my boobies are huge lol my milk finally came in and was leaking this morning when i was putting cream on them so i expressed and got a bottle worth for her midwife was ok with me expressing milk. Ill try her on the boob again aswell just to see how it goes.

 

[Smanderson]

Ohh yaaay for your milk coming in hunni hopefully will be less painful with the milk there now thats fab news your leaking is ok did she give you any dressings for the wound??

Yipeeeeeee!!! I know when im having my baby well...unless he comes early they have booked me in for an induction on 22nd the day he is due so i have to go in the night before for the pessary or something...so excited

I never asked about sky diving in the end cos it was a different doctor LOL but would have been soooooo tempted if it had been the normal specialist

 

[Apple111]

Been to maternity day centre as requested yesterday and they didn't do anything arrr !! frustrating .. Got to go back tomorrow to see another consultant ... To be honest we have decided ' sod it to lot of them' baby will arrive when it arrives, and we will deal with whatever..me n Oh are both senior practitioners for nhs and i made sure they knew that we think the communication between staff has been unacceptable and we would never treat our patients in this way.. The midwife who was suppose to ring me last week came in to see us n said she had been off sick and said she had asked someone else to call us... Whatever..u don't know what to believe... Anyway outcome is she is phoning us back this afternoon after speaking to another consultant... ;/ whatever?? Lol xx

Anyway just chilling this afternoon with oh n plan on watching tv n eating chocolate

Sorry for rant

 

[Apple111]

Wow sm .. That's great news hon.. I might change areas lol.. Seen as mine is so pants.. I'm just telling myself that hopefully delivery staff will be ok then I want to be home ASAP they have always been ok b4..

Glad ur doing ok cherry x

 

[Smanderson]

They have been amazing at the hospital, im going to write in once baby is here to say just how amazing they have been cos it has been such a horrible journey this last few weeks the only nice thing has been the kindness they have shown and the comfort in knowing they are looking out for me and the bubs so i can only imagine how let down you feel with how rubbish your carers have been

I cant believe they have been so awful and with you working in the health system it must be insult to injury to know they should be doing more! I agree that now you need to try and relax and try and make the most of this last bit of pregnancy (i know its not easy to enjoy!!) and then make some major noise about the terrible care once baby is here

 

[Rah]

Sm great news about induction date at least you have an idea now when he will arrive

Apple sorry they have been messing you round and you have not anywhere with them
Id def speak to pals about it

Cherry great news your wound is fine and Thsys a fab amount of milk!!! It will all calm down now and body will produce for babies needs rather than doing it to get milk in
Expressing is great I used to feed in day express about 10 so oh can do a night feed and I got a few hrs solid sleep

Well I had physio this morning she thinks all my hip pain is muscular and found the trigger points and released the muscle with her thumbs I nearly jumped off the bed was so painful but feel loads better now I have exercises to do and she can only fit me in on 17th do will be 40+1 hoping to be holding baby by then but she said I can ring if I'm in pain and will sort something
Baby has been on a mission today I think doing all sorts of movements even dd asked if baby was trying to home out my belly button ha ha

 

[Smanderson]

Thank Rah im sooo excited now i know he will be here in a max of 2 weeks and 5 days and i finally booked my wax for Saturday so he can come any time after that LOL

Ouch your muscle sounds painful hopefully the exercises will help though i had a physio push on my trigger point once, OMG its sooo painful and cringey all at the same time is your belly button still an innie? Mine is, just about! it kind of pops out a bit when i brush my hand past it though...weird LOL

 

[Rah]

I'm booked in for waxing and nails on Sat as well ha ha
Belly button still inny don't think it will pop

I'm going to be here all preg while you are all having cuddles with your los
They will leave me till 40+10 so that's the 26th ah well will do a lot more talking to myself ha ha

 

[Jenny_J]

Im starting to think that baby wont wait till section date. My pelvis feels so heavy, its cracking/crunching and I keep getting twinges up my flute :-/

 

[dollface85]

Almost all April babes are here! gotta love it, inpatient little boogers lol

We have had Elijah home since Sunday and he is such a good baby BUT of course he hits his first growth spurt the day he got home. They had just switched to feeding from 3 hrs to 4 hrs but when we got him home he was hungry every 2-2.5 hrs. And instead of eating his 60 ml feeding he gobbles down about 80-90 ml. Loves his food I see =D

Love changing his little outfits even though the newborn ones are still too big for him and he needs to be changed like 6 times a day lol.
He is getting longer periods of staying awake and god do I love those eyes of his. So incredibly gorgeous and alert and ahhh I could just stare at him forever.

Oh and our cat Monroe thinks the carseat, rocker and pack n play are hers and when the baby lays in them she gives this death stare like "mine!" hahha

Our doggies Cosmo and Boomer are really gentle with him and Cosmo our jack russell is super over protective over him.
