Thats great news Sarah that the hospital is keeping him there, gives Neils dad just enough time to take over as care role. What happens after thtat though, are you of free will to visit him at FIL whenever you want or do you still need social supervision?

Oh, Happy 1st January everyone xx

 

[kellie_w]

Happy new year girls! We can all now say we had a baby last year! Heres hoping for sarah that everything gets put right as it should be as quick as possible x

 

[Scally]

Oh my god.. Just had an hours peace so decided to catch up on you guys, read through the last few pages and cannot believe what's happened sarah.absolutely shocked, poor little logan and you and Neil are so strong I would be in absolute pieces, it's every parents worst nightmare. I know you will but please stay strong and fight this through. Get a good solicitor on the case, maybe one who specialises in child and social services cases.and definitely go for the second opinion. Spend your spare time researching birth trauma and getting a case together, this'll be good for keeping you occupied too.

I know there's nothing anyone can say to help right now but we are all here for advice and support should you need it.

Really puts things in perspective hearing your ordeal sarah and I feel terrible for whining about lack of sleep etc etc. Really hoping to hear some good news from you soon and good luck with the care worker tonight. X

Shame same restraints apply even with Neil's dad, BUT you know he will be safe, warm and loved after with him instead of complete strangers. Hope your hour visit goes ok, esp with that social worker manager. Im sure she has her own judgement/opinions but thats her mind state, dont be put off seeing Logan because you feel like your being judged. All this will clear its self soon enough and she will move onto judging another family like she has done you . It is nice of her to come in on your day off though, maybe sound greatful and she will be warm back. The depression side of it must be very difficult, its trying to cope with thats going on without falling into a pit. I feel your pain as I believe I was only steps away from PND (all ok now).
Make sure you document ALL the problems you've had since birth re catheters. It will be gold for your case (also the amount of times you went to doctors pre hand).

Good to see you Time/Scally/Kellie, glad to see your all doing alright. Mental to say that we had our babies last year! xx

 

[pops23]

Happy new year all! We had a hell of a night last night, Flynn screamed from 11-1.30 and nothing woul calm him, we had people per but ended up totally missing new year! Hoping it was a one off!

Sarah I have everything crossed that Logan will get to go to Neil's dad, as time says start building a case and do your research, knowledge is power and you need to have the upper hand here. Sending lots of love to you all

2013, can't believe it! Anyone planning to be pregnant again this year? Xxx

 

[Scally]

NO CHANCE!!!!!!!! LOL!
Sorry to hear about Flynn crying, i do hope its a one off!

How are things with you Time?

How did your visit go today Sarah? I hope she was nicer to you, she must have some belief in you- i dont think she would have given up her bank holiday lightly.

How are you kellie? Lauryn?

I am rubbish at the moment, have got a womb infection and a scar infection, the doc reckons there is an abscess under the scar, best case scenario antibiotics can break it down or to have it drained, the very worst is it bursts and opens up some of my scar- it is really freaking me out, i hate looking at it, i am so worried the whole scar will come undone! Luckily Dave has had some time off over christmas but tomorrow he is supposed to go back to work, we'll see, i havent been able to do much and am having to sit/lay down most of the time.

 

[Inoue]

That sounds awfull Scally, what a pity. I thought by now it be end of all the worry regarding healing, guess it is a longer process when it comes to C sections. Hope it doesn't open your scar up hun, take it easy at home.

Pops. Good god no way!!! . Think another pregnancy will just finish me off! Im most looking forward to having my nights back at some point . Are you thinking about it? Crap to hear Flynn was playing up, we often have solid 'playing' up nights like that, hope he's better tonight.

Xx

 

[kellie_w]

Another baby???! Sitting here at 3am the answer is easy, absolutely no way!!!!! We already have had a scare this week after the doctor wrongly told me that the depo is effective immediately. Turns out it is if given in the first 5 days of your period, which it wasn't. Have had some pregnancy symptoms and honesty, seeing those words "not pregnant" come up was the hugest relief. I don't know what I would have done! Ally, it sucks that you gave to go through this, im hoping so much your antibiotics work.

Another huge hug for sarah, and hoping neils dad gets to have logan. Good luck today with getting a solicitor.

Hi to everyone else, your babies are all looking gorgeous!!! Can't believe Oliver is 8 weeks old tomorrow, dreaded injections next week

Xxx

 

[Scally]

Looks like your night was like ours kellie! Not sure whether the antibiotics r affecting poppy or they r dwindling my supply, or she's having another growth spurt/wonder week but she is not a happy girl!
We have our dreaded injections next friday, god I hate them! Dave is off then anyway cause of his family over and 2nd xmas so he can take her in, I'll be there to feed her and calm her straight after.
What a scare with your depo injection, the relief must have been immense!
X

 

[kellie_w]

Apparently week 8 is the next wonder week, they become unsettled and clingy. Ollie decided yesterday he only wants mummy, anyone else will be screamed at. Last night was hell, he would only stop crying if I held his hand when laid down, as soon as I let go he would scream. So unsettled and cried nearly all day yesterday again, only a few calm awake periods when laying on me I really can't remember luke being this bad.

You are lucky dave is off with the injections, I am not looking forward to it at all. Ours are next weds, after our 6 week check up. I think after seeing ollie with the canula but in and the tube up his nose im not worried as much about tge injections more the after effects.

Did dave go back today in the end? How are you feeling today? X

 

[Scally]

that could explain poppys behaviour- god its so hard trying to work out what it is- antibiotics, milk supply or wonder week!
He hasnt gone back today, my womb infection feels loads better, i'm not aching anymore or temperature but the scar one not so good- i looked at it last night with a little mirror and it doesnt look good- it totally freaks me out!
The after effects of the injection worry me too, Izzy has always been bad with hers, she is due her pre school ones too, but will wait and see how poppy is first- was going to do them at the same time- no chance!

x

 

[kellie_w]

Im glad he hasn't gone back, you definitely need looking after, and help with rhe girls. When do you get the scar checked again? Do you know why you have got so ill?

Has poppy got spots yet? I remember luke getting them around 5 weeks so I know they
Are normal but oliver has had them nearly 3 weeks they are covering his whole face, in his ears and have now spread down his chest to his belly button. When he gets cross they flare up bright red and look really sore x

 

[Scally]

I dont think they'll check the scar again unless i go back to the docs, the antibiotics are helping the redness of it and the soreness but theres a few inches of it which is swollen (think thats where the abscess is) so if that hasnt improved by Friday i will go back.
I have no idea how i got them, i think i had the womb one for a couple of weeks if i'm honest, i had a sore tum, achey joints and feeling sicky, but put it down to a normal part of c section recovery and tiredness! I think because my recovery with Izzy was so horrendous i thought this time was normal and i didnt realise i should have felt better than i did, if that makes sense.

I havent noticed her with spots, she has a rash that comes up every now and then since i've been on the antibiotics, bless her x

 

[time]

Aww ally sorry you're having such a hard time. Hopefully you are on the mend now!
I'm dreading the injections but quite a few weeks off yet for us.

Touch wood so far wren has been an angel and is still sleeping pretty well and only crying when she wants food. We are still only having 40/50ml at most feeds though which I wish would increase so she could go longer between.

Definitely no more babies here!! I've always said I wanted 3 with maybe 2 years between each but despite having a pretty easy and quick birth I still feel pretty traumatized.I don't know why. I know it will probably change in a year or so and ill be broody haha but for now I feel like one maybe enough!!
