I go back to work full time in January. It's gunna break my heart pulling my LO in nursery 3 days a week.

I've been hit by the baby blues today. Everything seems to be setting my tears off today. My mother hasn't even been to see my LO and she's now 2 weeks old. My husbands parents live really far away and yet they have seen her several times.

How's everyone feeling today?x x

MrsDramaQueen hope you feel better soon, the baby blues is horrible.. I thought I got it but feeling all fine again! With DD1 I had it bad

This thread is so quiet, hope you are all well.

Had my baby weighed today and she is now 10 days old and 7lbs4oz she was 6lbs14oz when she was born so the health visitor was very happy and I haven't given her any formula in a week

Heya,

I'm feeling a lot better today. Ended up back at the hospital yesterday. I'd got a bloodclot behind my stitches. I stood up yesterday and the bloodclot ruptured. I ended up heavy bleeding from my stitches. Stupid NHS helpline told me as i was in no pain a doctor would take 6 hours to come out to me, or i could go to the hospital. The hospital put a dressing on it and gave me some antibiotics. Hopefully it will start feeling better soon. It's scary when you can't stop the bleeding. The maternity unit are proberly sick of seeing me.x x

Hi Girls,

Finally getting a few moments of me time while I let daddy have a cuddle. Jasmine came out of special care last Friday although I had to take her back that evening and then again the following day for Jaundice checks. It is amazing to have her home with us instead of being strapped to tons of monitors, breathing equipment and needles in her tiny hands and feet! She is the love of my life (along with my hubby and other 2 children of course ) I just can't stop cuddling and kissing her. I was so scared that I would feel detached from her after missing the first 8 days of normal life with her but if anything it has made me love her more if that was possible. On the upside I wasnt planing on breast feeding her, I didnt with my other 2 but I felt so usless that giving her my milk was the only thing only I could do. I decided not to actually breast feed but I am expressing my milk so she is still getting the best but daddy can share feeds, best of both worlds!

I still havent gotten round to doing a birth story but I will get round to it soon.

I hope everyone that has had their babies are enjoying them as much as we are. Emma it is lovely of you to put this thread together so we can continue our journey together, thank you xxx

Just a quick hello, I can officially be here now our little boy Benjamin has arrived and is home with us

We have had a few days at home now and things are going well. Suffering a little with lack of sleep, but it's not been too bad really. Ben is BF really well so really pleased as I couldn't feed him for the first couple of days as he was in intensive care with too many wires and tubes and after that I didn't have him with me on the ward and had to go down to feed him each time he was hungry. I was finding it all quite difficult so feel really happy we've both managed to master BF now

He's asleep now but due a feed soon so I thought i'd pop on for a few mins to have a bit of a catch up, hope everyone's having a good day xxx

Jordicia: Totally understand what you mean about all the monitors, needles, tubes and doctors pulling them about, you know it's for the best but really not easy at the time. We were so pleased when Benjamin was taken off all the monitors and allowed onto the ward with me and then shortly after we were all allowed home, was the best news and is so nice to have him home. Hope Jasmine is still doing well xx

hi everyone please can i join

my gorgeuos Finley Joseph arrived on the 1st of June, 7lb 7oz

i posted a few times on the junebugs thread, but hoping to be on more often now and get to know some lovely new friends

hope you are all doing well. Im finding things hard at the moment with a demanding 18mth old and 2 week old lol. FInley is also very windy he just wont settle after feeds and only takes a bit at a time and then is hungry again about an hour/hour and half later

ive also been very upset about breastfeeding. I managed to BF my other 2 boys, my first for 7 weeks and lewis (my second) for a week, and it didnt work out well with Lewis,

this time round i was determined to try and perservere but it didnt work from the moment he was born he wouldnt latch on and didnt seem interested, he got on once then came off after 4 or 5 mins then wouldnt go back on, tried and tried for 24 hours in hosp with midwives helping and he just didnt latch/uninterested and they ended up cup feeding him (with my permission) so i decided not to mess about and FF. Hes been the hardest to feed he even struggles with teats on bottles, hes not very sucky at all bless him

However, since he was born ive tried 4 times to breastfeed again and again hes still not latched on and ive still got lots of milk...decided to give up now i know ive tried and i know he is happy and content now i just wish i could BF it just gets to me when im having so many issues with bottles leaking and him cluster feeding it would be so much easier if i was BF

hope you are all well xxxxx

[E&L's mummy]

hey purple. hope you ok hun. is it me or is time flying?? cant beleive we are getting near to 2 weeks since they were born. hows your tummy feeling? mine is so much more sore then with DD2. and they used a stupid see thru dressing that i reacted to so now have a really sore rash where it was.

 

[lewiepud08]

morning girls hope you are all well

we registered little man today

E&Ls mum - i know what you mean about time flying i cant believe Finley is 3 weeks old tomorrow!! its just gone so fast! these last few weeks have been crazy since he was born, lol

sending some more labour vibes to Delilah and those of you still waiting xx

 

[MrsDramaQueen]

E&L i had a reaction to the dressing too. It was like a bubble around my wound. It was so hard to get off. My stitches felt worse with it on.

It was the first day today that i was alone with my LO. We had a bad night as she only slept 4 hours in the cot. For the morning she just cried and wanted to be held but this afternoon i've had a bit of a break as she's slept on the play mat with a cool breeze going through. It's very hot today. I'e just put her in a vest to keep cool.

She seems to be drinking loads of formula at the moment. Were up to 4oz every 3 hours. Sometimes she needs a top up too. She must be going through a growth spurt. My mum still hasn't been to visit her. She's trying to cause trouble with the relatives by saying she hasn't been invited. It's like she hates the attention being on the baby at the moment. I could really do without it.

How's everyone elses families at the moment?x x

hey purple. hope you ok hun. is it me or is time flying?? cant beleive we are getting near to 2 weeks since they were born. hows your tummy feeling? mine is so much more sore then with DD2. and they used a stupid see thru dressing that i reacted to so now have a really sore rash where it was.

Yea time does seem to be going fast! My tummy is not too bad as long as I don't overdo it, now im feeling a bit better it's hard to remember what I should and shouldn't be doing. The rash doesn't sound good thats all you need on top of everything else!

How did the weigh in go? Ben has put on 40g since saturday so we're pleased the weight has started to go up again. The midwife is coming again on friday so hopefully he'll be a bit closer to birth weight by then.

Welcome lewiepud08 Sorry you've had trouble with bf but least your little man is happy with the ff thats the main thing xx
