Its been 6 hours since I started the black and blue cohosh and the clary sage oil and 4 hours since I took the castor oil. In the last hour or so, I've begun to have some painful contractions and a lot of gas. I was expecting to have diarrhea, but I must have a stomach of iron or something. Anyway, the contractions seem like a good sign. I'll let you know if any more developments happen.

Hope everything is ok darkstar, thinking of you!
Sassy, so glad you are getting quality time with baby! How's the rib?

I really want to rip it out. At least then it wouldn't hurt me. lol! I'm doing the best I can but it is fighting the healing process. It is also difficult when I need to get up and down and lift Chloe. Hopefully it will heal soon.
Keep us updated darkstar! Hope everything is ok.
I've been logging the bf'ing and diaper changes and we are right on with how everything should be. I am hoping that means the bf'ing is going as successfully as I thought it was. She is eating about 30 minutes every 2-3 hours and is completely content after finishing. The only part I am now concerned for is the doctor checkup when they are more concerned with weight gain. Here is to hoping by Monday we will have good news and can just keep going the way we are.

Ladies, thanks for your replies re awake times! Seems its fairly normal when they're small that they're a bit all over the place!

So, pains have gotten way more intense, every 4 minutes for about 50 seconds. Called my midwife to find out if she thought it was pains from the castor oil or contractions and she's saying contractions. When they reach more than 60 seconds long at less than 5 minutes apart for at least an hour, I'm to call back. They've gotten so intense I can no longer walk or talk through them. I hope they are contractions.

Oliver just nursed the other side with his next feeding! Still only one side though.. But he's slowing and / or stopping and is refusing the other side so I'm guessing he's getting enough? I know how much I can pump from one side and its enough for a bottle feeding. Will I have issues with my breasts not having them both nursed on in a feeding?
