Hi ladies
Bleh I typed a long post with one hand yesterday and lost it!
Hope everyone is well.
Thank you all for the well wishes...it hasn't sunk in yet...somedays I still can't believe she really is ours!
Wana B..are the boys really 3 months already? They are gorgeous! Well done on having a good stash of milk. I thought about you a lot during my first painful week of BFing. I can't begin to think how painful it was having to feed two.
Barbi I'm so sorry to hear about the pre eclampsia and being in hospital. I read a lot of studies that say vitamin e and fish oil can keep it under control. It may be worth a try to keep your precious bean baking as long as possible. And as Milty says get the steroid shots to help mature babies lungs. It helps tons. I had them at 30+2 and when she arrived she was pink and breathing perfectly. Midwife said the shots had worked. Keep lots of entertainment to distract you so you're worrying too much, being in hospital all day long can add to the stress.
Jen oh Jen it is wonderful to hear from you. Big
and sorry that you've had a hard time. Glad to hear its improving. Your boy is yummy and growing really well going by that weight gain.
Alison congrats !
Afm I've been terribly ill with some type of digestive disorder that started 2 weeks post partum. Not nice at all when you're too ill to look after your baby. Am now on medication which I dislike but have no choice. Need more tests done later to see what it is. Also been struggling through BFing issues. She still has jaundice which they say is caused by breastmilk. As for her weight, i discovered last week that her birth weight was actually 3kgs 50grams not 3.5kg, whoever told me that made a mistake. she is now 3.4kgs. She has reflux so we have to keep her upright almost all the time. It's tough going as its just dh and I so we're exhausted but so so in love. Otherwise she is a sweet girl and gives us lots of smiles.
If any one has any tips on infant reflux please post!
Milty, Bmom, , Crystal, LL, Jax and anyone I 've missed
miss you girls!
