End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

[Zfbaby]

poor baby, did it bleed much?
When the hv came yesterday she looked at Louis again and said he has a tongue tie too. He's feeding and putting on plenty of weight, he's up to almost 11lbs now so we've decided to wait instead of cutting now. Bet it was horrible to watch.

 

[babyface15]

clh I lean forward to pee too and that helps a lot. I only have a few stitches though
omni my god girl you have been through the ringer. I really hope you are doing well

 

[charbaby]

Hi everyone hope you are all well.
Omi have you uploaded any pics yet? I can't quite see the one in your profile pic

CLH My friends little boy is tongue tied but they won't do it cus she is bottle feeding apparently they only like to do them for breast fed babies? I feel really bad for him cus surely its better to get it over and done with straight away! He will be 5 weeks tomorrow.

Marlee went a whole 9 hours last night, It was amazing to have such a long sleep with not break. I don't think it will be long till she is sleeping through the night.
Still not got her registered at the doctors but need to do that today as due to have the 6 week check end of next week.

Has anyone thought about what contraception they will be having ?

 

[passion4shoes]

Holy shit omi. That is crazy! You are both incredibly lucky to have survived that. What an amazing story. I hope you make a full recovery with no lasting damage - you have been fortunate under the circumstances. Wow. How are you Ealing about it all? You seem to be positive so that's good. Glad the bf is going well.

Zf - any improvement on the wind? How is your OH coping with the crying? Mine s shit. She doesn't even cry that much - just in the evenings as he gets home. He really can't be bothered. He gets to do one feed a day but doesn't even pay attention to her - watches tv as feeding or playing a game on the iPad. Grrr.

Matilda had a tongue tie too. It seems really common. They should be cut as early as possible. It affects their feeding and later possibly their speech. She fell asleep as hers was done, didn't seem to hurt her at all. She has never got to grips with sucking for milk, she is soooo messy but I have ordered new bottles to try (dr browns, mam and nuk) as TT seem rubbish.

What bottles are you using?

9 hours????! We are still on feeding every 3, so actually 2 hours sleep!

 

[CLH_X3]

He's ok now, yeah I was referred the day he was born as he wasn't feeding properly but he picked it up, I wanted it done for speech reasons aswel... My daughter had a tongue tie n hers was cut at 2 weeks old so Aston was abit younger ...

My oh wants me to go on a coil or the bar in your arm but they all seem so final! ... (He doesn't want more, I'm not sure) think il try the pill as even if I did want another it defo wouldn't be for at least 3 years! As I think I'd like 1 more when my 2 both go to school.... Might change my mind by then tho as il be out of all the nappie stage etc ...

Zfbaby - I forgot to comment on the ruh, I was in and out on a 3 hour discharge, so I had Aston in a delivery room, waited 3 hours and went home after 4am, I didn't go up to the ward but the women who were downstairs were brilliant and I never had any problems

Char - what's your routine with marlee ? How many bottles/oz n how far apart?

Aston was having bottles 7.30-11.30-3.30 but I'm moving it to 6,10,2 as on the night I'm getting tired by 10 and wants to go to bed, what q's during the night do u wait for before u feed marlee ? I start feeding before he starts crying as I don't want him to wake faith up but sometimes I think I could wait it out ...

He had a feed at 6 this morning and he's been awake since, taking my daughter to play group at 9.30 so he will fall asleep then and sleep through his feed at 10 probs .... Hmmm

 

[CLH_X3]

Passion - I'm using mam and had no problems with them! ... I had tt with my daughter and they were crap so I used Avent with her! And they were fine ...

I just wanted diff ones so my daughter wouldn't get confused and think the baby was drinking her milk!

 

[charbaby]

Average day = bottle at 7-8 then every 4 hours till last bottle around 7.30-8 then she will sleep till around 2.30 then up again at 7-8, but last night she went 7.15pm till 4.30am.
She is on 5 onz now sma gold. Thinking of putting it up to 6onz as she has drained a alot over the last day and half.

 

[OmiOmen]

I am sorry to hear there are so many of you with little ones with tongue-tie.

WOW! 9 hours is amazing! Cooper is going about 3-4 hours between feeds which I think is pretty good for a BF'ed baby. He does a lot of eating and sleeping. DS1 never slept well as a baby.

My husband will be getting a vasectomy. We was worried he might have some issues getting one as they tend not to like doing for those under 30 and he is a little younger than me at 24, they don't like to do it after having a baby or a traumatic event and we just had both, and they sometimes get funny if you have less than 3 kids. However even if his GP won't do it mine said he would be more than happy to refer him on and thinks any doctor who refused him would be crazy so it would just be a case of him moving over to my GP's office. Short term it's not really possible with the damage done anyway and I am am not sure how long it will be until I'm mentally ready.

We haven't got a huge amount of photos due to going in and out of hospital but here is my chunky Cooper. Oddly he is in newborn clothes with say up to 9.9lbs and he is over that and half fit just right and half still look a tad big.

Markus has tt and gets on with them fine. I had them with Marielle as well.
Markus is crazy hungry about every 2 hours! Think he's having a growth spurt lol

I'm going to have my tubes tied. I don't want any more and I had the coil but it fell out!
Clh the coil is good though. I had it before Marielle for a year and a half. They'll take it out when you want to. So I had it removed and was pregnant within a month. With the coil the hormones don't go in your blood so when the coils out, that's it, you can just fall pregnant

 

[passion4shoes]

I don't think I could commit to a permanent contraceptive solution. There is 14 years between my eldest and this one. I couldn't guarantee the desire to have another would ever totally disappear- even at 42 I just might. Although holy shit that's only 7 years away. Fuck.

I got the morning after pill ths morning (10 months is too close an age gap) and that pretty much proves condoms are not for us. She gave me the mini pill but offered the implant. I like the flexibility of the pill but the implant was great. I hated the coil - felt like their was a foreign body invading my womb (which there is I suppose).

Omi, had you already decided on the snip prior to having cooper? He is a cutie!

 

[CLH_X3]

Average day = bottle at 7-8 then every 4 hours till last bottle around 7.30-8 then she will sleep till around 2.30 then up again at 7-8, but last night she went 7.15pm till 4.30am.
She is on 5 onz now sma gold. Thinking of putting it up to 6onz as she has drained a alot over the last day and half.

Were do you put marlee after her 7.30-8pm bottle ?

 

[OmiOmen]

We had talked about a vasectomy before he was born and was going to look into it more a year after the birth since that is the general recommendation but the full decision was made after. We know we won't change our mind though, I came very close to dying and there is no way I would ever consider pregnancy again. Our only worry is that even the snip isn't 100% effective.

I put her up to bed, I have movement sensor monitors so I feel relaxed don't think I could do it if I didn't have them as I would be to paranoid. Plus o/h goes to bed between 7-8 because he has to be up at 2.30am for work so she's not on her own up there

 

[charbaby]

I could never get o/h to have the snip just incase we changed our minds but as it goes at the moment we are pretty sure we don't want anymore (but I will never say never) I think I may have the implant put back in as I had that last time for the full 3 years and never had a problem with it, I don't think I would be able to have the pill as I would forget and not sure about the coil as never had that.

 

[passion4shoes]

I wouldn't be too upset if I ever forgot to take the pill.

I am keeping my OH going - he thinks I didn't go get the morning after pill today and that I am happy to just wing it. He thinks I have deliberately planned it lol! He is shit scared! Ha ha. Revenge for the full nights' sleep he enjoys.

I think if I had yor experience omi, I would feel te same. You are right t be worried about the snip. I know of lots of people it as failed on. My colleague had it done twice and both times it failed. He is a proud dad of five! The last time it failed was twin girls!

 

[babyface15]

char 9 hours what a dream! although I would hate to see what would happen to my boobs if I went that long.
4.5 hours the other day and I was terribly engorged

lol passion make him squirm a bit!! my oh gets so much sleep too and still complains about being tired :S

I'm thinking of the copper implant. the pill made me super moody

omni I still can't get over your birth story, I hope you have a speedy recovery xxx

 

[pebbie1]

Hahahahahahahaha passion, you make me laugh!!!
Wonder if I should do the same as my oh cant be bothered to help out. When Markus cries, he leaved him and when I then pick him up and he stops crying he goes: well, mothers know best!
Oh f@ck off lol. He keeps telling people on twitter (and I'm sure everyone in work) how tired he is. He sleeps all freakin night and keeps me and Markus awake because of all his bloody snoring. And I'm lucky if he feeds Markus once a day. He'll do it when I dump Markus on his lap, because he has to then. He was exactly the same with Marielle, apart from the fact he had earplugs then and still was complaining he hardly got any sleep. As if!!! Lazy bum lol

 

[pebbie1]

Oh and Omi, I am 1000% sure as well I'm not having another one. I didn't have the horrendous experience you've had, but having nearly had a stroke is enough for me. 2 pregnancies, twice bp problems. I'm not going to tempt faith. X

 

[pebbie1]

Char, we put Markus to bed at the same time. We did the same with Marielle and really enjoy them getting into a routine. And of course the "us" time we get at night
