Thanks ladies.... My dad ran over to check and my power has returned and he said it looks like my freezer stuff survived

Good news I'm 2.5 cm almost 3!!! The midwife (which I loved) stripped my membranes! Having cramping now! Scheduled my induction for Monday Feb 4th! Yay! I'm so excited! An my family will be here in the morning! Looks like my twin sister will make it in time to be in the room! Woo hoo! Thanks for all the support!

For you ladies BF'g and pumping (for storage):

I was instructed not to pump for 6 weeks. How long did you wait if at all? And when do you pump? After feeding, between feeds? I'm doing great BF'g just like last time but last time I ended up not producing enough by 4 mths and finally gave in to supplementing. Any advice is appreciated.

Why on earth should you not pump in the first six weeks? I might understand not FEEDING pumped milk because of the whole nipple confusion paranoia. But I do not understand not pumping at all. Those first 6weeks are so crucial at establishing a healthy supply and pumping after feeds can help get that supply nice and big and set you up for the b rest of your babies nursing life.

Pump after meals and try not to do it within an hour of the next feed. That's if you're having supply problems and need to increase it. Otherwise your baby f should be creating the perfect amount for your baby.

My poor boy projectile vomited after his feeding twice today. Getting concerned and thinking of taking him to the pediatrician

Aww. Reflux is common and easy enough to treat. Hope all is well.

I hope that's what it is and he's not sick. Poor peanut

Eva projectile vomited after her feed too and she had a leaky nappy with mucus (diarrhoea?). Her tummy also looks a bit swollen. Hope it's just a case of guzzling and too much wind. Just feeding her and hoping she will go to sleep and feel better when she wakes up.

Contracting just about every 10 min with cramping! Hope it wasn't just the sweep causing it and that it's early labor!

 

[Betheney]

Also having projectile pukes after feeding here too and mucusy poops as well

 

[ARuppe716]

Good luck Nell!!

Oliver was having the projectile mucus spit up near the end of his cold. I think it was a post nasal drip issue. Asked the dr and he said as long as it doesn't seem to bother him then its fine.

Oliver is 4 weeks old today! Can't believe how fast it's gone, he'll be a month old on Monday!

 

[Lilahbear]

I think last night's mucus fest was probably the end of Eva s cold too, although it never dawned on me then as I thought her cold hsd gone, but I guess she was maybe storing it all up. She seems to be ok today thankfully, although wont let me put her down so not getting much done.
