January Jellybeans 2013!...

[mommyof2peas]

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?

my daughter is just NOW nursing both sides and she is 19 months. If baby seems content youll be fine just make sure to switch back and forth and offer the other side.

Ok so we went up to the hospital and my midwife started monitoring baby. His heartbeat was slow at first and she was saying the baseline was too low(110bpm) and he must be a sleepy baby and she wanted to keep monitoring it and then call an obstetrician who was performing a csection if things didn't improve. Then she got me to roll onto my side for a while. I told her I've been having cramps and the cramps were showing up on the monitor as well. Then baby started kicking (I hadn't felt much more than a few gentle pokes all day up to this point) and his heartrate picked up.

She did blood tests and a urine test then an internal and was going to do a sweep while she was in there but I was only 1cm but the cervix is very soft but no effacement. Baby's head is low but not low enough. So no sweep today and she said despite the continuous cramping I'm having I'm not likely to be in labour in the next couple of days. Then she monitored me again and my cramps had increased and baby was going nuts with movement and his heart rate went up way more and fluctuated plenty and she said it was near perfect. Phew. The blood tests and urine came back then and they were all fine.

We booked my next appointment for next Thursday when I will be 40+3 and she said she doesn't expect to see me before that as I'm not dilated at all yet. We may do a sweep the following day if its favourable, induction won't be considered until I'm 10 days over which I'm fine with because I would rather not be induced again unless its necessary.

Glad all is ok darkstar.

Aruppe - great news on the bfing. Meg used to only feed of one side at a time for an average of 10 minutes (except evening cluster feeds). Darcey will sometimes want the other side but will often refuse.

Brier - hope things are continuing to move along for you. X

 

[AJThomas]

Yay Aruppe! So glad Oliver is feeding now.

Ditty Cayde started waking up by himself at the 2 week mark too, its nice to be able to respond to his cues instead of having to try waking him. I don't even have to set an alarm anyway, he gets up and feeds every 2-3 hours.

Congrats mommy to be!!

Cant wait to see the new jelly beans!!

Fyi.... If baby wont go to sleep, download a white noise app, they go to sleep immediately

 

[Poppy84]

Sorry for posting late but still in hospital and been in quite a bit of pain. My yellow bump turned blue on 9.1.13 (his due date). Joseph Ethan was born by forceps weighing 8lbs2oz. I was in labour for 3 days. He was facing up instead of down and got stuck. I ended up with a fourth degree tear which meant I had to have surgery to fix it. We are all doing well now though and can't wait to go home.
Hope u r all well!!! Welcome any new babies and good luck to those still waiting.

 

[ARuppe716]

Congrats on the new beans!!

Oliver is on his 4th boobie meal in a row... He got hungry whole I was napping so dh tried to give him some expressed milk and he wouldn't take it!

 

[mellywelly]

On labour ward, having half hour of monitoring then we are good to go with the gel!

 

[Leinzlove]

Yay Melly, I can't wait to know... or !

 

[Lillian33]

Good luck Melly, DeeDee & Kaiecee, so excited for your updates!

Congrats missmummy2be, hope you're both doing well. And congrats again Poppy!

Darkstar, so glad all is well, hoping you go naturally & don't make it to induction

Aruppe, Harry will mostly only do one whole boob too, if he's still hungry I offer the other but he won't always take it. Your milk should adjust to your babies needs & as PP said just remember to switch boobs each feed-a simple hair band on the wrist to swap after each feed works wonders when it's the middle of the night & u have no idea what boob you're supposed to offer!!!

xx

 

[BlossomJ]

Good luck everyone with the inductions/sections!!!

Poppy - Congratulations on your beautiful baby & sorry about the difficult birth Hope you heal quickly

MissMummy - Also big congrats

Glad our breastfeeding mummies seem to be having a good day

DH is working a few hours away today & there is no one to look after DS within a 3hr drive, so hoping I don't go into labour or I'm not sure what would happen? Should be fine though as no signs yet....My car will finally be fixed for tomorrow & then I'm staying with my family until after the birth. Turns out that's just as well as DH has just told me he can't really take more than a couple of days off when I have the baby & is totally snowed under for at least three months (which just means permanently)

 

[Kaiecee]

Getting into shower and off to hospital to meet Riley ill be updating everyone on Monday hope everyone has a great weekend

 

[mellywelly]

I've just seen Dr, have 6 hours then will examine me again, if no progress then will book a section for tomorrow!

My Birth Story

At about 10pm on the 8th of January i started to get contractions but was unsure if it was real or just BH i had 2 showers to try and ease my discomfort at around 11:30 my OH called my mum and also the hospital so we could go and find out if the baby was coming or not my mum came over and brought my sister so that she could watch my son mum Adam and I headed up to the hospital just after midnight they put me on the monitor and we still didn't know 100% what was going on i hoped in the shower and came back out Adam called his mum just before 2am just after that my waters broke and at 2:33am Sienna was born she was face up and as a result i tore just a bit and had to have some stitches i moved so fast that the doctor didn't even make it and i done it all drug free
