Oh my gosh, 39+4 and you were still working?? Trooper!!

Working helped pass the time for me, but I'm a veterinary assistant so the physical aspect was getting quite challenging to say the least. I think if I had it to do over (and had some additional vacation time saved up) I would have stopped working a week earlier. But I lived through it! Now I just hope LO shows up ASAP, I'm so excited!!

 

[MightyMom]

I'm excited too! You're kind of the last of our group because everyone else has gone MIA.

Ok ladies, LO is on her way! Contractions started early this morning, was 3cm at 10am, got an epidural shortly after, 7cm around 12:30 and doctor broke my water. Could be anytime!

 

[MightyMom]

OMG she is almost here!!! Come on Camden, we can't wait to see you!!

She's here!! Born at 3:28pm, 7lbs 13oz. She's soooo precious, and already doing great with breast feeding. After my epidural everything was painless! Now feeling a little from some tearing, but nothing horrible. So in love with her!

Hi ladies, I've made it back online at last. Congratulations to all the new mums who came after me.
We have had a really tough few weeks. Unfortunately due to some bad advice when I was in hospital we had a really hard time establishing breast feeding. My milk was slow to come in and there just wasn't enough. Beth's weight then dropped to almost 12% below her birthweight so we have had to do combination feeding and expressing to top her up after every feed. Feeds take over an hour each time and we feed 8 times a day!! We keep being threatened with hospital admission. Thank god the last weight showed a 160g gain and I sneakily weighed her again today and it looks like a similar gain after another few days. Not back at birthweight yet but almost. All I do is feed, change nappies and try and get her to sleep. I've only been getting 4-5h sleep myself throughout each 24h period. Hopefully as she gets bigger it will improve. Despite it all I just love being a mum and absolutely adore my little girl.

Sorry you're having such a rough time with feeding, Lala. But glad to hear she's gaining now!

Hi ladies, hope everyone is well, this thread sure is quiet now that we are all busy with our babies, I thought Id post some recent pics of Emelia and would love to see your babies aswell and hear how everyone is finding motherhood.

We had it relatively easy up until about 7 or 8 weeks as Emelia has always been such a good sleeper. But it then started to get harder as she was really unsettled at night times from about 7pm onwards. We thought it was colic at first but then someone mentioned silent reflux so we're now putting infant gaviscon in the bottles and its working well.
She is also sleeping through the night now from about 11pm until 7 or 8am and it feels amazing.
She had her second round of injections today, its heartbreaking watching them in so much pain.
