June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Congrats starlight.

MY pains died off about half way through the day. Kept my mind off them by cleaning the house etc so not sure when they went away. The dull ache in my back hasn't gone so I can only assume its from the way baby is sitting.

Now it's the evening I'm entering my daily round of Braxton Hicks lmao... getting a bit silly now.

Congratulations starlight

 

[Boo44]

Congratulations starlight can't wait to hear more details!

Squig hope your supply picks up soon! Pixie I have that awful letdown stingy feeling I can't stand it! Happens at random times of the day too! I'm not looking to long term BF though. I wish it would stop lol

 

[Lavochain]

Ouch! TMI but I feel like someone is rotating a knife inside my foof.

 

[vaniilla]

Rhi - time to start doing lunges I think!

 

[Tinky_82]

Starlight congratulations - sorry it was rough though. Looking forward to hearing how you're doing.

Sorry about your supply Squig - I found eating oats helped mine - lots of oat and raisin cookies did the trick!

 

[Boo44]

Hope it's quiet in here tonight because you're all off having babies....

 

[Squig34]

Congratulations Starlight! Sorry to hear you had a rough time though!

Lol squig I love the advice you get as a new mum. It will go down, I think it took about a week for me to be able to bend my ankles and maybe two to feel like my legs were mostly normal the midwife told me if I didn't rest I would rehemmorage - just as I was on my way out through door to visit G in NICU. I just told her there wasn't much I could do about it and left

I'm sorry you're having supply issues, is Róise not satisfied after her feeds? Skin to skin really does help! Now that my supply has picked up I can feel the let down when G is rooting. Stings lol.

I'm not feeding her because my nipples are a bit flat so I can't get her to latch on by myself (she can & has latched before in hospital ). I've ordered nipple shields. I think I might be a little dehydrated which is hindering supply so I'm trying to drink more. Hopefully that will help a bit.

I must try eating porridge for breakfast too - i'd heard that before about oats but forgotten, so thanks for that tip

Keep getting woken by contractions that I can't sleep through, but only one every half and hour or so.. :/ plus a constant periody ache.

If it continues like this I won't know whether OH or my mum (who is having my son) should go to work or what tomorrow.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

OMG angel I'm so excited for you!

Do they work far away? Would it take long for them to come home if you needed them?

 

[AngelofTroy]

Not too far, OH is about 40 minutes but by train so it depends on timetables. My mum's school is only about half an hour by car I think. I expect because I'm making plans this will come to nothing now!

I'm really hungry so come downstairs and eating a babybel cheese...

 

[AngelofTroy]

Just had my show...

 

[ehjmorris]

Goodluck angel

 

[Dory85]

Just flying in before we set off to the hospital.

Congratulations to Joey and Starlight. I hope you are enjoying your babies!

Good luck to Angel. When I get home tonight hopefully you will have your new addition also.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Good luck Angel. Xx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Good luck angel! Although I can't say I'm not green with envy.

 

[mum22ttc#3]

Good luck angel

 

[Boo44]

Dory why are you going to hospital at that time of morning? Oh good luck Angel can't wait for news!!!

Anyone have any advice on grunting/straining babies? Arthur has taken to doing this for up to an hour after his night feed - he lies quite happily in his Moses basket and he doesn't cry he just lies there and intermittently strains and grunts and there's no way I can sleep! He's not constipated at all and has had his wind up. Is it just a phase to go through?

 

[Tinky_82]

Yay Angel! I hope things are progressing for you - how close together are the contractions now?
