Huge congratulations lauyrn and pops, such beautiful babies! Hope you both recover quickly, really sorry to hear your birth was so traumatic pops and 30 hours..... so awful but flynn is so gorgeous! Love the name! Lauryn, are you not decided on a name yet?

So just inoue and time to go now! Come on babies!

Hi ally and sarah, hope you are both doing well.

Im admitting i am struggling this week. I think its the start of colic or reflux, this was what i was dreading. Oliver cries and cries snd cries, night feeds are horrendous now. He had a oz, starts screaming then throws up. Finishes the rest of his milk then cries and grunts with his legs curled up. He has been crying since 6am today. This is really hard

 

[Scally]

oh kellie- that souns horrendous, u have the dr browns dont u? see if you can get the doc to prescribe colief, it was a miracle cure for izzy she had awful colic, its 11 pound and lasts a week but i know some docs will prescribe it x

Woke up at 430 this morning with terrible back ache and period pains so went to the loo and had my bloody show, quite a lot of it. And it hasn't stopped all morning. I'm guessing I don't need to ring labour and delivery!? Does this normally mean labour is near? Still having my contractions anyway but they are more period cramps since losing my show.

How are you inoue??

 

[time]

Sorry to hear about oliver Kellie, colic is horrible but I've heard colief works wonders!!

 

[kellie_w]

Thank you ally and natalie, going to try colief. Dont care how much it is, just hope it works as it didnt with luke! Oliver has been quite content since his crying fit this morning, hope it lasts a bit longer!

I would probably get checked, if you are still bleeding now. I didnt hsve a show this time, but my first labour i did, and the bleeding was a sign of labour for me. I think its recommended if you are bleeding hesvy uou shoukd get checked, may be wrong though. Hope this is the start of things and baby is on the move! X

Hey all, I have a baby free half hour as Neil has taken Logan to show him off at work! I don't know what to do with myself haha! What did I do before he was here?!

I would get yourself looked at time for the bloody show. It sounds normal but you can excessively bleed with it in which case it's probably best to give them a quick ring and check to see how much they class as being too much. I lost my bloody show a couple of hours before they broke my waters at 2cms if that helps anything at all!

Kellie sorry to hear about the colic. This is one thing I'm dreading really hope you can get hold of some of the stuff that ally suggested and that it works nice and quickly for you both.

Hope things are still going awesomely In your household Ally how's little poppy getting on? I can't believe that she's 2 weeks old already! Same as baby Oliver! Where does the time go?

As for me, things arnt too bad, plodding along. Ended up back on L&D at 3:30am this morning as I woke up and my catheter bag had ripped spilling pee everywhere and leaving a nice open channel to my bladder for infections but we were sorted fast

Logan is bottle fed full time now besides one feed of expressed milk in the evening. I got sick and tired of obsessing and making myself ill with worry thinking is he getting enough?! He seems more content now and me and Neil are sleeping better too as he's not waking up starving.

Can I ask a personal question though ladies? Your afterbirth bleeding... Is it bad? I keep having to change a pad once an hour which is soaked through...and whilst doing that I'm loosing lots of fresh blood in the process. Went loo this morning and lost what looked like loads and came back I bed really pale and shaking. Slept in til half 1 and am only now feeling relatively ok :S it's worrying me a bit now. Am at the hospital tommorrow to have my catheter removed but I didn't know if I was just being a wuss with it :s lol

 

[Scally]

Hey sarah, oh my god to the ripped catheter bag! I bled awfully last time, clots, huge bleeds etc- please go and get it checked out, you may have an infection, this time i have barely bled and its stopping altogether now.

x

 

[Sarahcake]

Thanks hun I suspected it was maybe a little excessive. I'm at gynaecology tommorrow for this twoc thing so ill ask then. Thank you

 

[time]

I've heard the first few days can be pretty bad for bleeding sarah but then it should calm down and every hour seems a little much.. I'd definitely ask tomorrow just to be safe.

Just got off the phone to my midwife who said as long as my bloody show isn't like a period then to not worry and not to bother labour and delivery until my contractions are stronger and more painful. For the last hour they have been Sooo much worsevwhich is really giving me some hope, but still 10 mins apart. Been losing brown and pink show all day. If this isn't it I am just about done I am going to lock myself away until my induction!!

Any news from inoue??!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Any news from inoue or time? Time the MW I spoke to says about my contractions probably not meaning established labour but she was wrong! If you can or want to get checked go do it just incase if I would have stayed at home any longer I doubt we'd have made it in time!

Finally back home with Millie (her official name!). Amber loves her so far, but she's a bit heavy handed so just being careful when she's around her! Our cat is eyeing her up like she's her next meal!! Definitely keeping an eye on that.

Hope everyone's well x

 

[Inoue]

26 hour labour. No gas or air till 8cm dilated and little Reimi was born 8lb 1oz at 4:04pm today. No tear, no stitches. Latched on boobie and doing well. Im so in love. Will catch up with everyone elces posts at a later date xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Yaaaay fantastic news inoue congrats!

 

[Inoue]

Thanks sweetie xx

 

[kellie_w]

Hurray inoue!!!! Huge congratulations to you, you did fantastic! How amazing to have no tears or stitches and so great that reimi has latched straight away! Cant wait to see pictures! Xxx

Only one more baby to come now! X

 

[kellie_w]

Lauryn, love the name millie! The picture of her with amber is so cute, such a proud big sister. Glad to see you are home now, hope you have a good first night.

Sarah, your bleeding sounds a bit much, definately mention it tomorroe especially if you are dizzy. I bled really heavy first time for 2 weeks, this time it stopped by 10 days. Had no need for my bulk buy of materity pads! Sorry to hear about the catheter problems, how are you healing other than that?

 

[pops23]

Beautiful name lauryn, love that out babies share a birthday!

Congrats Inoue, what a wonderful labour, good for you! Welcome to the world little lady!

Sorry I haven't updated, am in hospital till Friday and its been tough going ad the labour was so tough on Flynn, as a result he's struggling to feed so an having to express masses of colustrum as well! I will update full as soon as I get her chance.

Hope you're all well, and time fingers crossed!! Xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

Huge congratulations Inoue! Saw your Facebook pictures and she's absolutely beautiful! Well done you on the no gas and air til 8cms and no rips and tears! That's fantastic! You will hopefully feel more normal much sooner than most with no stitches to contend with

Lauryn, you're never gonna believe me in this but when I first saw a picture of your little lady, I thought she would suit a really cute girly name, the name I thought of instantly...Millie!! Seriously! How odd eh! Glad her sister has taken to her well though, keep an eye on that kitty too. Ours haven't paid a single ounce of attention to Logan since we got home, was something I was worried about tbh.

Pops, sorry to hear your stuck in hospital take advantage of the midwives help and make sure you get plenty of rest. They will take Flynn off your hands for a while if you ask them too so you can get some sleep. Give Flynn a big cuddle from me hun x

Kellie yeah I'm not too bad besides the uti stuff and bleeding really. Feels like I've been kicked in the crutch but I guess that's to be expected with 30 stiches down there lol! How are things with you? Your pictures on Facebook are lovely he looks so content and settled

Anyone heard from Time? Any news on the baby front?

 

[Sarahcake]

Urgh, my trial without catheter is going badly drank a tonne and I'm retaining the lot yet am in pain like I need to go but just can't

No idea when this trial ends but I've been here since 9am so far pumping myself full of fluids gah.

 

[Inoue]

Hope things improve sarah . Must be awfu to not pee. There's a woman opposite me who had a catheter placed she had no end of problems with bleeding or something?

Im waiting for my anti-d now, it cant come quick enough! The staff here are awful, telling me off for breastfeeding 'wrong' as I sometimes struggle to get her latched and discussing my issues with feeding as my nipples are praticly bleeding raw but then I hear the mw bitching to another saying that im laying and there only bruised?! Nice confidentiality .

Hope your doing ok Time with whatever's going on, were all here for you!

Xx
