Hiya ladies!
I'm here, just adjusting to life as a new mummy. I am in the middle of my birth story and I'm getting there so I will have it for you all to read soon!
Lily is an angel, I'm so in love and I'm really enjoying being a mummy. I'm super sore at the moment, as I tore, and I ache all over, induced labour is hard!
Lily isn't breastfeeding amazingly well at the moment. I'm producing TOO much milk for her and it's making my breasts super engorged, she doesn't like latching to them, so I'm pumping it out for her (I'd rather she got it some way then none at all), I will be speaking to my midwife about it on Saturday as I'm struggling with the guilt of not having her on my breast but through a bottle. I pretty much called myself a failure as a mother last night and that I couldn't even supply my daughter with the best thing I can give her, I was so distressed, my poor OH was beyond himself.
We're a tired household at the moment, dog included! I can hardly walk and if I don't drink enough to dilute my wee I cause myself a migraine from the pain of my stitches
!
Quick question before I head off to bed, as my OH is a worry wart, how many hours a day should a baby sleep? He thinks Lily sleeps A LOT, I thought it was pretty normal.
Thanks ladies!
Love to you all!
The last February Love Bug!
