Hi ladies, sorry for the stupidly early post but as I'm
Awake an Louis is passed out thought I'd pop on and see how were all doing.
Pebbie how's things with your induction. I've got my fingers crossed so tightly that it doesn't end up in a c-section! Come on baby!!!!
super excited to know what you're having too!
Afm- I'm finally at the local birthing center ( drs woulnt discharge me because of fainting and bruising) and the difference in Louis, myself and the level or care is insane. I wish things had been different and I could have had him here. The midwives are amazing.
I was so determined to be discharged from bath that I forced myself to get up and keep moving but it's been very hard. All the bruising from vomiting has made even standing up straight hard.
Clh- it took an hr for someone to come to take me to the bathroom! Then whilst I was in the loo they went on their break and I couldn't get off the loo very well. I'll spare the details but Dh was livid as I was a state when I got back to him. They also forgot to give me my meds last night. The second night was the worst. Louis is cluster feeding and badly, I'm really struggling to attach him correctly and when he's hungry he screams until he's hysterical. I just broke down and dh had to beg to be allowed to stay as I couldn't move and had extra ivs etc plus Louis wouldn't be put down or settled at all. Before coming to Chippenham I hadn't slept more than 5 mins in 5 days or eaten or drunk anything that stayed down since before the op.
Fast forward to now and I'm
Slowly getting the hang of feeding, I've showered, had all my meds on time and I've slept!!! The midwives here took louis to settle him so I could sleep for a while and it's really helped. They come in everytime he feeds so I can practice latching on and they changed him, winded him etc so I could eat and shower etc. tonight is the first night without him being in a constant frenzy. I'm thankful the drs in bath were good with the surgery and Louis is here safely but I don't want to go back there.
