End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

Lol, Passion.

Wow failing twice isn't good! I can not help but think it has something like a 1% failure rate but my deliver was statistically a lot lower than that so it would be just my luck if it failed on us.

I think recovering will be a lot easier once the bladder issues are sorted out. I do feel like my life is on hold for the next 3 weeks until it gets sorted and I am really scared it will have caused permanent damage.

 

[OmiOmen]

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

Exactly how I feel. The first time I had pre-eclampsia and the second uterine rupture. I can not help but feel a third time would finish me off.

 

[CLH_X3]

I'm finding at te moment that Aston is awake between 6-9pm then falls asleep around about 9...

I don't know how I could move it foward to 7

I don't think I started a routine with faith til she was about 3-4 months old

 

[babyface15]

how is everyone doing for bleeding?

I had a massive clot last night the size of my palm. my Dr said to expect something as big as a poached egg but it freaked me out!!
plus my bleeding has gone from light and brown to bright red again. anyone know if this is normal?

 

[CLH_X3]

Yeah it's normal... It depends on how much you do in the day...if your really busy and on the move then you can bleed more..

Iv basically stopped bleeding now ... Day 11 post birth..

 

[pebbie1]

I'm still ever so slightly bleeding. Can't wait for it to stop!!! I had some clots come out a few weeks ago and some days the bleeding is more red.
I'd call the gp though if the bleeding gets heavier again. X

 

[babyface15]

thanks girls! that's good clh I rested today and it's less red already. It might just be where the clot was breaking up too!

I'll mention it to the doctor though I have to go in Monday morning, poor little calla has thrush and I spilled half her medicine on the floor!

is tomorrow fathers day also in the UK? I haven't gotten anything for my hubby yet, think I'll just spoil him a bit at home

 

[pebbie1]

Yep, it's Father's Day here today babyface. I got my hubby some footy shirts and he had a lie in this morning with Markus.
We've decided to go to France on Thursday. I can't wAit!!! Hubby will be going out for meetings during the day and me and the kids will stay at the mobile home on the campsite. Looking forward to some sunshine for 2 weeks

 

[charbaby]

Marlee is 5 and half weeks old and I am still bleeding? It isn't alot but I have to wear a pad because it is everyday, thought it would have stopped by now, have mine and Marlees 6 week check on Thursday so I will ask then.

 

[charbaby]

Oh and my whole theory with the dummy thing is not working as she is constantly spitting it out and sucking her thumb!

 

[OmiOmen]

I am haven't bleed much since I had a c-section but it is picking up a bit the more mobile I am. It is only tiny amounts but it is slow to stop because of the restrictions I have on activity levels.

Marlee is looking adorable! Cooper started sucking his thumb for a day and then stopped.

My SIL got DH some stuff for Father's Day from the kids for me while I was in hospital which I thought was really nice of her. It is his first day back at work tonight so he is not feeling very relaxed today though.

 

[babyface15]

pebbie, that sounds amazing!!

char, you had a lot of bleeding after the birth right? I wonder if that's why. I ended up having heavy bleeding after delivery too

Marlee is sooo sweet hehe! I'm going to work on some pics today if I can get a few mins hehe

omni how nice of your sil! xx

 

[CLH_X3]

I got my oh 2 x kelvin claim boxers, a top daddy medal and super daddy socks ... And I just cooked him a lasagna from scratch! Which is his fav meal that I make!

I put on a 2 stone 4lbs .... Iv lost 1 stone 4lbs .. I still have a stone to loss! Not happy!

Il upload my last day of preg/belly now pic ... I wish the other stone would disappear! I'm starting my diet tomorrow...

Awh bless, marlee looks lush, Aston isn't really a dummy baby! But I do use it!! Haha

Hi everyone!
Corrrrrrr - nakered!!!! Alastair is 7 days old today, and someone needs to tell him he's got his days & nights mixed up! He will sleep all day & need waking every 3 hours to feed, and is then up ALL night, won't even go down for 5 mins. Its exausting! Breast feeding is hard too, he just wants to be on the boob constantly even if its just for comfort not to feed. I'm considering expressing into bottles and feeding that way, but not sure really.
I'm finally starting to recover from the stitches etc, if I'm honest I wasn't quite prepared for how much of a write off I was going to be after the birth, it has shocked me!

How are you doing now Omi? I still can't believe all you went through, it doesn't seem possible you poor thing!

I'm just trying to figure out how to get a pic on now so you guys can see Alastair

 

[pebbie1]

Oh ducky, that sounds exhausting. I'm not sure how to do the day/night thing, apart from making noise during the day and keeping things quiet and dark at night. Markus did the comfort feeding too. He now can do without my boob for about 2 hours! I gave him a bottle at 4 as we were out and he's on my boob again now, even though he drank 5oz formula an hour and a half ago! He's a very hungry baby. I know he drinks my milk from the boob too and doesn't just suckle. At night he wakes up once around 3.30, but sometimes we still have the odd off night where he wants the boob every 2 hours!

CLH you're tummy is going down so well! Very good. You'll be looking like a yummy mummy in no time!!

Char, Marlee is so cute! The thumb sucking is soooooo cute. Not a chance Markus wants the dummy. He nearly throws up when I put it in his mouth lol

 

[pebbie1]

Ps ducky, I had the episiotomy the first time and I was bricking it that I would need stitches again. They hurt so much, it scarred me for life lol!

 

[OmiOmen]

Wow CHL, you are looking great. My swelling is taking ages to go down.

Cooper seems to feed well and doesn't comfort feed. He tends to nap for 3-4 hours and then have a big feed. Although he does get very gassy and is sick quite a bit. DS1 constantly fed, never slept, wouldn't let me put him down, and had lots of BF'ing issues so it is a bit of a change for me this time.

I think I am healing okay really. It is worse healing than a regular C-section and I can tell the bladder is healing slower but today was the last day of the decent ish painkillers and I don't feel too bad. I just really want the catheter out as it causes constant problems and is really inconvenient. I am just counting down the days until the 4th of July now. It will get frustrating having lots of restrictions on me for 6 months though.

Do u make much noise during the day? With faith around there's constant noise so he either has to sleep through it or stay awake longer in the day...

Maybe try picking him up more during the day to wake him? I never wake Aston for a feed ... Sometimes he goes 5 hours without one and then wakes and I'm ready!

 

[pebbie1]

I never wake Markus for a feed either. He'll wake when he's hungry
Ducky, are you using a dummy? As he seems to be using your boob for comfort. But you'll have to be careful he's not going to rely on your boob to fall asleep. Maybe try a dummy. Should give you a break too. X
