Congratulations CLH!

We all have gorgeous babies!

I really feel for you omi and ducky. It will happen eventually!! Come on babies - maybe they don't realise It is now June!

We are pretty much on formula full time. I can only express 1.5oz now. Tbh I don't want to spend all my time pumping/ sterilising/ feeding and when babies are cluster feeding I just think 'eugh'. But I miss the little and on my breast as she looks at my face.

oh babyface she is gorgeous!!! look at all that hair x

My waters broke, and I was pushing for 7 minutes and then he was born, I do have a couple stitches but hardly anything

Passion, is that 1.5oz per day or per express? The midwife told me to express 1oz to give as a top up at night to stop the cluster feeding. I tried it and he drank it in seconds and continued his cluster feeding lol. He's now cluster feeding during the day as well, but read they have a growth spurt at 2 weeks. So I'll keep on trying, even though I want to quit breast feeding at least once a day!! Probably drives my husband insane hahahaha

Babyface, Calla is gorgeous! She has so much hair, brilliant!!! Did you guess it was a girl, or did you think it was a boy? X

 

[Zfbaby]

Congrats chl! He's super cute. 8lb 9oz is exactly the same as Louis!
Calla is lovely babyface. Her hair is georgeous!!!
Health visitor came today and seems to think Louis is latching much better and that the reason im pumping so little is because he's drinking more than I think. Her only concern is getting a good position to suit us. He drinks well on one side and not on te other but that's the side with the most milk as we found out when I accidentally squirted both the hv and the student nurse she's told us to reduce the formula though as she thinks he's getting too much (although he's not sleeping much so how can that be?) he's now 9lb 14oz!!! He's gained 12oz in 10 days oops

I dunno Omi, I could give you a run for your money, my funeral height has been measuring 3 weeks ahead since 2nd tri and I'm 41 weeks today with another 5 days to go before I'm induced unless he comes before! I also have a high bmi although not sure if that will add towards the babies size.
Midwife has warned me to expect a decent sized babe!

Another preview of Marlees photo shoot cant wait to pic up all the prints!

Babyface and Char, such cute photos!

I am glad that things are going better Zfbaby. My right boob works better than my left, it did with DS1 and started producing milk sooner this time too.

I am guessing if I am measuring over the 90th centile tomorrow they may rush him out a little sooner with it (hopefully) being a VBAC. I am a bit nervous about potentially having an induction and a big baby with a VBAC but there is more chance of it going how I want than if they try to skip straight to a c-section. I had some bad and frequent BH's earlier but they are less often and more mild again now.

I know I'm not feeding a baby yet, but I'm pretty sure only my right boob works! Left one never seems to do anything.

Hope he gets a wriggle on for you Omi, maybe a sweep might get things started and give you more of a chance of going naturally still? Ive got another attempt at one tomorrow morning, hoping for a better result this time!

Such Lovely photos ladies!!

 

[OmiOmen]

My left was never as good and that was the one that got mastitis a couple of times. It is really annoying.

I am hoping a sweep will do it. I do feel like labour has started but like it is going really, really slowly and if that is the case I am guessing a sweep might do the trick. I will be really upset if they say I have imagined it tomorrow now.

 

[pebbie1]

My left boob works less well too lol! Lots of milk in the right one though
Omi, how many times did you get mastitis? I really hope not to get it again as I felt awful

 

[OmiOmen]

I got it about 3-4 times but only the first time was really bad.

I lost my plug this morning. I am sure I have been getting contractions not BH's since Monday but they never stay regular for long. I am thinking I am in early labour and it is going really slowly but I have the consultant appointment today so I will see what they say.

 

[pebbie1]

Crikey, 3-4 times! Bless you
Ohhhhh sounds like things could be starting for you! Sounds like how babyface's labour started. Fingers crossed! What time are you seeing your consultant? Get them to do an internal so you'll know where you're at. X

 

[OmiOmen]

The first time was awful but the others were more anything and uncomfortable than really feeling ill.

I started leaking some fluid last night and now I know where it is coming from but just don't know if it is slowly leaking amniotic fluid or a a large amount of water discharge. I just put a pad on so hopefully it will help me work it out but this whole 'you just know when when your in labour' thing isn't ringing true for me. The contractions keep getting worse over the past few days but the frequency just doesn't seem right yet. Appointment is at 2:20pm and I think they were going to try a sweep today anyway so am guessing they will do an internal to check now.

 

[Little Ducky]

Good luck Omi! I just had my sweep, she said I was slightly more effaced but nothing to shout about so not hugely positive for me. Looking a dead cert for induction on Saturday.
Hope things are really starting for you now!

 

[OmiOmen]

Hopefully it will start before the induction date although I have heard a lot of positive induction stories from people who are low risk.

I am sure labour has started but it might be a case of how quick it progresses I guess. The contractions seem constantly stronger since this morning although I am not sure they are the same time apart yet still.

 

[babyface15]

Babyface, Calla is gorgeous! She has so much hair, brilliant!!! Did you guess it was a girl, or did you think it was a boy? X

i know she came out with like 2 inches of it hehe
I had guessed boy. we were surprised she was a girl

 

[OmiOmen]

It was my waters that started to go in the middle of last night. I am losing them slowly but due to the risk of infection if labour does not become established tonight I am off to labour ward at 8am tomorrow for induction. I got a sweep so hopefully my contractions will start to become regular now. They are getting a bit stronger already although nothing really promising yet. I could see the rest of my plug must have came out during the internal though and I am having a little blood now so FX it helps. My cervix was thin but only 1cm which disappointed me since the mild contractions started Monday so I was sort of hoping for more like 3cm. I am just desperately hoping something happens tonight now.
