Charbaby, no problem. Was Marlee 8lbs 15oz? And what length was she?
Passion, Zfbaby and NatalieBelle can you give me the date again as I'm not 100% sure anymore and the weight and length of your babies? X

8lb 15 born on the 9th 52cm x

Ducky I had DS1 by planned c-section at 39+1 and didn't feel like my body was preparing itself at all other than BH's which I had from the second trimester and meant nothing. This time I keep feeling like I am on the edge of labour but never am!

[Little Ducky]

[babyface15]

I wish it would go fast like you passion

My friend gave birth today ... My turn soon hopefully!

 

[passion4shoes]

Baby girl born on 18th. Weight 7lb 14oz. Length 52cm. Head circumference was 34cm (just interested to compare!)

I didn't have any signs either. Her head didn't engage until she was coming out!

After an excellent pregnancy and birth I have hit my first hurdle - breastfeeding. Turns out my boobs are over producing milk, baby has a slight tongue tie and I am developing mastitis. Had to go to the doctor today for antibiotics (first time getting dressed, first time leaving the house and first time leaving Matilda!) sucks, but good to know how to solve it. My poor cracked, blistered, bleeding nipples.

 

[pebbie1]

Passion, how did you know you were getting mastitis? I googled it yesterday as my right boob hurts bad in 1 spot and I felt as if I'm getting the flu (very achey skin all over the place and shivers)? Breastfeeding is pretty hard to do and I definitely didn't manage the first time round. Markus has been cluster feeding at night between 10pm and 5am. So tiring! I am just feeding now after he slept from 22.30 till 1.55. First time ever! I hope he just falls asleep when I put him back to bed.

 

[passion4shoes]

Exactly the symptoms you have just described. I have one red hot area on my boob which is the infected site. Matilda is the same as Markus. I went to bed at 6.30am. Midwives knocked at 0930! Eugh. Your dr should give you antibiotics.

How are you getting on dealing with Marielle in the mornings? Are you apping during the day?

Natalie that is a gorgeous picture of your bubba x

Matilda gets her tongue tie cut on Sunday. I hope it doesn't hurt them.

 

[OmiOmen]

I had mastitus a couple of times with DS1. I had a red and painful breast and flu like symptoms. the first time I had it was a really nasty case and I was pretty much falling in and out of consciousness for 24 hours and DH had to look after DS1 and just shake me awake when he needed feeding.

After my cramps improving a little yesterday they are back with a vengeance today ready for me moving this evening.

 

[pebbie1]

Passion I have no idea how I'm doing it! Somehow I get up and do all the things and I'm feeling ok-ish until the evening. As soon as Marielle is in bed its game over. I've gone to bed a few times at 6.30 as well. She also goes to nursery 2 afternoons a week and today friends are taking her horse riding all day so I've been sleeping every minute Markus is asleep. Bliss!! My mum is coming over from holland for a week on Monday. Looking forward to it!!

My boob just has a sore spot but hasn't got a hot spot on it. Still feel like crap though

 

[babyface15]

sorry you guys are havinga hard time with it. I hope things get better soon!! xxx

omni good luck with the move, when will you be out of communication?

 

[OmiOmen]

Well, we are moving this evening so I won't be able to get online in couple of hours.

 

[babyface15]

aw well best of luck then!! xx hopefully you can figure out your hubs phone to give us an update when baby is born.

 

[passion4shoes]

Good luck omi. Looking forward to your BS xx

Christ pebbie!! Matilda finally fell asleep at 0630 but mw came round at 0930! She won't sleep in her basket but only falls asleep on OH's chest. He loves it. Lol! He is totally smitten x

 

[OmiOmen]

Aww, Passion that is so cute.

Just found out our internet connection date was moved back because they have to lay new wiring! DH wants to get a temporary dongle connection so although I won't be able to come on much if it works I will be able to keep up a bit with updates. Moving will start in about 2 hours and my cramps are getting worse, I think I can feel my stomach tightening but am not sure. Since this has gone on for days now I doubt I need to worry about labour starting mid move though.

 

[pebbie1]

Passion how unfortunate the midwife came round!
My hubby is so smitten he has a son. So cute to watch
Markus will only fall asleep in his Moses basket if I warm it up with a hot water bottle lol. Can't blame him with this cold weather!! Normally we could leave Marielle in bed in the mornings and she'd read a book till 8.30 but the cheeky monkey has discovered how to climb out of her cotbed so she stands next to our bed in the mornings, feeling well smart hahsha

Omi, good luck hun. Hope you can manage to get on here via the phone. I'm always in here on my phone. Make sure you put your feet up tonight and just tell everyone else what to do and where what goes

 

[OmiOmen]

How is she enjoying being a big sister?

To be honest I have not packed a single thing other than a bag with PJ's and stuff like that in there for tonight. DH and my in-laws are doing the moving so I only have to look after DS1. I feel a bit lazy but I have never had less stress when moving.

 

[Little Ducky]

Omi, good luck with the move! I'd be doing my nut if I had moving house to worry about on top of being ready to pop out a baby any day now... so you have my hugest respect Lol!
Really hope you're able to get online a bit to keep us updated. X

 

[pebbie1]

Omi, she loves it! She keeps saying baby Markus baby Markus hahahaha!
