Early January Mum's

Forums New posts
Nothing much going on from now till my c-section next thursday, do have alot of visits with xmas this weekend. Hoping its not going to drain me to much. Going out to pick up my OHs xmas present wii u today.
 
Awwww Ducky! He's just made me totally broody all over again!

Why oh why does the nesting instinct desert you just as you need it to kick in??? I spent this morning in a frenzy of stripping beds, catching up on washing and a ton of ironing ..... I now have my bed COVERED in piles and piles of clean, folded clothes and no motivation to put them in drawers/wardrobes OR make up the beds again :(. MEH!!!
 
Congratulations mummyb :)

No still waiting for my phone call to tell me when my scan is x
 
Ducky he is perfect!!!!

Congrats MummyB!!!

Can't believe we've started to have babies on this thread .... So exciting!!!

So after a cervix check anyone else have bad pains and light bleeding? I felt like someone used my pelvic bone/vagina like a bunching bag and some serious Braxton Hicks too.
 
Fitzy - In the UK they leave us alone until after 40 weeks, they dont like to increase the risk of infection.

Christians Mum - Hope you get a call soon x

Chatty - Ive just pulled loads of stuff out of the cupboard made several piles.... and ermmmm given up! :blush:

Its not looking like we're going to get the keys to the house tomorrow.... and maybe not even Friday :cry: Why is nothing simple for DH and I..... :cry: I just want to be in my own home for when our baby comes is that too much to ask???!!! :argh:
 
Congratulations Mummy B!

Ducky - he's gorgeous!

Sambitiki - That's sucky that you aren't going to get the keys, have they said why? Fingers crossed it all happens last minute and you get them at least on Friday!

I posted in another thread, I feel rotten at the moment. I'm not sure if things are progressing (had diarrhoea and nausea and period type pains last night/today) or if I'm just ill. I wish the symptoms of early labour were unique as I'm questioning everything at the moment! I have a feeling this bit of pregnancy will be just as bad as the TWW for overanalysing symptoms!
 
So sorry Sambatiki, how frustrating. Do you know when it will be? x
 
I'm keeping everything crossed (including my legs) that baby stays in to 42 weeks for you Sam .... That'll give you an extra few weeks to get everything straight and organised in your new home before baby appears. Maybe we should start our own "42 week wannabe" club??!!

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when you get the keys and indulge your nesting instinct!!
 
Chatty - I think that they'll all think we have cracked up and gone completely NUTS!!! :wacko: :haha:

Eurrrghhhh its all back up in the air again... if the bank get back to the solicitors by 9.30am tomorrow we'll be able to get the keys tomorrow. FFS!!! :grr:

bgd - Do you get the period type pains if youre walking around? Thats when I seem to get them. I hope it is the start for you :hugs:

yup completely normal if theres not a lot of blood and if its not bright red. its caused by cervix irritation
 
Mummy B- congrats on your little girl!

Ducky- that pic is adorable!

Mrs. mel- same here, I can't wait to see what we're gonna have this go around.

Christians mum- how exciting! Our first yellow bundle turned pink! Hoping this one turns blue, lol!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes ladies! :hugs:
 
Aww Sam, I'm so sorry. Nothing is ever easy for our family either. I always say if it wasn't for our bad luck we'd have no luck at all. I hope it gets sorted quickly.

It looks like my go at breast feeding is over. Christian lost weight again and he needs to be put on formula. The dr said he needs to be back at birthweight by two weeks, and he doesn't have much time left. I so wanted it to work this time. :cry:

That doesnt sound right to me...Isnt he only a week old? it can take 10-12 days before they start regaining weight, and longer then that to pass their birth weight. I think you need to contact a lactation specialist to talk to rather then your Dr.

Dr's always push formula and thats why people give up so easily. Find a phone number for a lacation specialist or ask your Dr for a referral to one. Even just having a phone conversation with one may help you put your mind at ease. theres no need to give up this early on! :hugs:
 
Ahhhhh no Ducky! Please don't give up yet! Drs are PAID by formula companies to push their products and they ARE NOT breast feeding experts. The weight charts for babies are based on 1950's formula fed babies and NO reflection on what happens with BF babies. As long as Christian has plenty of wet an dirty nappies, he's getting enough and although a little more slowly, WILL gain weight at his own pace.

There is so much research and so much help available for BFing mothers now if you go and find it. Have a look at the BF board.

Did you have a drip up (fluids) in labour? This is just one thing that can effect weight ... Babies born to mums who've had a drip up through labour have an artificially elevated birth weight (which they'll lose within days and contribute to a greater than expected weight loss).

Fenugreek supplements for you will help with your supply, domperidone can be prescribed too - both will boost your supply if you feel you're low (unlikely if you're feeding on demand and baby is latching correctly).

If you still want to BF, DO IT!! This is YOUR baby, not the Drs.

:hugs: thinking of you hun, I remember the worry and the pressure I felt to stop feeding my daughter due to weightloss 10yrs ago.
 
Forgot to add - KellyMom website is a fantastic site for BFing mums, it has the latest research and is invaluable IMO x
 
I pumped last night and got an ounce and a half! Now I don't know what to do! I'm so confused!

We gave him the milk first the next time he fed, then give him formula. I'm not sure if I should put him on the breast again now (and if I do, do I do it before or after he gets formula?) or should I just pump until my supply increases? And if I do that, how often should I pump? I'm excited that I got so much by pumping (I've never seen so much milk come from me!). But now I'm even more confused about where to go from here!
