Decembers little darlings now in first tri

[LittleLala]

Thanks sweetpea!!
So glad to hear from you. I hadn't been getting much sleep at all, 2-3 hours a day all together-- but yesterday, dh came home and saw me in full crying mode and took Albie and I had 3 hours sleep IN A ROW! And thennn I had an extra 5 hours broken throughout the night! I'm a new person now

Aww poor little pooping Anthony! Does massaging his tummy help? I'd have no idea what to do.

My milk still isn't in properly but yesterday he had 2 feeds where I didn't need to supplement with formula so there's progress I hate the formula it makes him vomit terribly and empties his tummy and starts a big horrible cycle of never ending feeding and vomiting

That's so sweet that your DH let you sleep! It makes such a different hey? On Sunday DH let me stay in bed until noon! It was magical.

I'm sorry about your milk I still haven't read through all of the posts but have you tried any herbs? Fenugreek is something my sister and sister-in-law used to increase their supply and it worked great! It took at bit for my supply to be established also but I just pumped a ton (since he was in the nursery) and now my supply it crazy!

I do try massaging Anthony's stomach. I also bicycle his legs and push his knees up to his chest. Apparently it's just something that he'll grow out of. Problem is, some people say their babe started to get better around 7 weeks, others say 6 months. Good lord I hope it doesn't take that long! I've scheduled appointments for him with my maternity doctor, the pediatrician, and my family doctor. I'm sure they'll all say the same thing but I just want to make sure I get all of my bases covered.

I'm taking Motilium prescribed by my doctor, and fenugreek too last night both of his nightly feeds didn't need to be supplemented with any formula, so that was a big win for me I am expressing between feeds too to tell my body to make more milk... Ugh I just wish I could have a nice big supply.
Albie grunts a lot early in the morning (about 4am too!) but I don't think it's his poop, he does plenty of those... I think it's a mix of gas and congestion? I'm not too sure. It doesn't seem to bother him too much though so hopefully it's okay haha. Oh god, I have no idea about so many things it's bordering a joke.

Infacol has seriously changed our lives! Esther wouldn't feed well, cried all the time and had really painful gas but now she is I the Infacol she is so much more peaceful. Ashleigh last night she was really unsettled for hours tbd she had a massive poonarmi nappy and was happy again.my dh took her must of last night because I had a really bad headache.is so important they take their turn! I'm not looking forward to dh going back to work next week.

 

[LittleLala]

Dh went to buy Infacol this afternoon and the pharmacist said we can't use it until he is 1 month I hate seeing him in pain all night from gas in his tummy!!

Biiiiiig congratulations on Esther's arrival

 

[Buffyx]

Congrats Spicy!

I'm still over here waiting..
Induction booked for the weekend as it's looking unlikely that I'll go in to labour on my own.

One of us had to go over, right?!

 

[LittleLala]

I hope your induction goes well Buffy

Why?? It's suitable from birth.

Our sleep has been put back, we were doing well having good sleep but now she won't sleep on her crib. I'm shattered. I'm so worried about dh going back to work because I'll have to do all night every night in my own.

The stuff here is only suitable from 1 month here different countries must have different medical rulings

I totally understand how you feel about dh going back to work. My dh has been back a week and a half now. Nights are hard. He never did night feelings but we would change him before and after the feeds for me and it made such a difference.

 

[Buffyx]

How long have your husbands got off work?
If we have the baby this weekend then DH will get about 10 days off work.

 

[LittleLala]

My husband had a week and a half off, but because the labour went for two days and Albie was so jaundiced, by the the time we left hospital we only had Tuesday- Monday together. I wish we had longer. I shouldn't complain though because he is a teacher and will have holidays soon. I'm counting down the days!

 

[Buffyx]

My DH has holidays in November for a month. I'm looking forward to that, although she will be 3 months old by then!

He only gets 4 shifts off work, but because it falls on one of his first days off, it works out that he will have 10 days off or thereabouts. I'm so nervous about being by myself with the baby and she's not even born yet!!

 

[LittleLala]

Try not to be anxious at out ANYTHING right now... Just relax, relax, relax while you can. Have a nice bath, lots of naps, whatever makes you feel good.
I keep thinking of you, wondering if your little girl is on her way yet. Hopefully your labour goes as smoothly as your pregnancy has

 

[Buffyx]

Well that's the thing - my pregnancy has gone so smoothly that I just knew something with the birth had to go wrong

I definitely don't feel anything today. Thinking I'll for sure have to wait to be induced.

 

[LittleLala]

Aww haha well here's hoping that the induction is easy peasy! Did they speak about what induction method they would use?

 

[Buffyx]

They just said gel will go in on Saturday and hopefully things will get going the next day.

 

[LittleLala]

Oh I'm glad you don't have to endure that stupid balloon catheter!

 

[LittleLala]

Thinking of you this weekend Buffy!!!

 

[Buffyx]

Thanks! Just have my monitor on now & then they'll check my cervix to see if I need the gel or if I just come back tomorrow

 

[Buffyx]

And gel is in and I'm staying.
