Hello ladies

There are so many gorgeous babies on here. Aren't we clever mummies? Hoping those still waiting for little ones to arrive don't have too much longer to go.

Andrew hasn't regained his birth weight yet so the midwife is coming back tomorrow (he'll be 3 weeks) and if he hasn't gained she will be referring him to a paediatrician. I'm not unduly concerned as my eldest was slow to gain weight and didn't pass his birth weight until week 4. He's primarily breast fed (topped up three times a day with 2-3 oz of formula to try and build him up), feeds well most of the time (although has an occasional lazy latch), loves cuddles, and has a voice much bigger than his body!

The whole family is absolutely in love with him and it's like he's always been here. I do intend to start a parenting journal but it's all a matter of time.

His birth story is here (post 2263) https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnan...oy-wriggle-bum-pips-pal-journal-here-227.html Once I got going it was a fast labour: 4cm to birth within 90 minutes!

Sending you all lots of

How far under his birth weight is he? Kristin was one ounce under hers this morning at her check-up.

Well Baby Aimee Patterson arrived finally arrived on Thursday 24th Nov @ 08.37 weighing 8lb 2oz after being 13 days overdue and a very hard labour.

Got taken in on tuesday 22nd to be induced at 12.30 then not taken to a labour suite till 4pm wed (23rd) afternoon. They burst my waters at 5.20pm and i got the drip inserted into my hand which starts your contractions and not long after that they started, and they came fast and strong and very sore, after a few hours i gave up and opted for the epidural.

So relieved i did as it was the best ever, after 13 hours of labour they informed me i was fully dilated and i could start pushing after 5 or 6 pushing the midwife wanted the doctor to examine me as there was a problem with her heartbeat everytime i had a contractions her heartbeat would slow down so they were worried.

After examination i was informed she was lying back to back and her head was in a position that no matter how much i pushed naturally i would never have pushed her our alone, so was then informed that i would be going to theatre to have forceps to help her along. If after 4 attempts at me pushing with the help of foreceps she still was not coming i would be given a c section.

Lucky after the 3 set of pushes and the help of the forceps she arrived, what a huge relief, i was also given a three inch cut to help the labour process and then placed on a carthator for 48hrs.

We were then allowed home on saturday afternoon after being in hospital for 5 days.

I must say i had a hard labour and still sore but i would not changed her for the world and the pain i went through was all worth it

good luck to all who is due their precious bundles soon xx

How far under his birth weight is he? Kristin was one ounce under hers this morning at her check-up.

Someone mentioned earlier that they thought WB (Andrew) was going to be a big baby. At the 36w scan he was measuring around 3200g (ie 7lb) +/-25%, so taking into account my GD, age, health and the polyhydramnios it was decided to induce him at 38w. He arrived at 38w 2d weighing 3020g (6lb 10oz) which was surprisingly light considering the indications from the growth scans. However, he is long (we think about 55 cm so around 91st centile), had a head circumference of 35.5 cm (around 62nd centile), and has very long limbs, fingers and toes. He's simply lacking fat.

Weights to date:

Birth: 3020g (6lb 10oz) (around 25th centile)
Day 3: 2700g (5lb 15oz)
Day 5: 2680g (5lb 14.5oz) (around 9th centile)
Day 7: 2740g (6lb 0.5oz)
Day 10: 2740g (6lb 0.5oz)
Day 14: 2740g (6lb 0.5oz)

He wasn't interested in feeding in the first few days of his birth but has started to pick up now. We're hoping the mixture of breast followed by formula top up will give him the energy boost to feed more and hopefully start to put on weight.

Here's some pictures of my boys:

Pip & Sheryl, I am sure your little ones will start gaining loads soon.

Tlh and Repo...I can't imagine going back to work anytime soon...I want to extend my leave...I am not ready to leave my little girl.Plus I have to find a nanny.

I am definitely finding it harder to get on BnB these days.

 

[supermum7]

my baby was due 9.11.2011 but was born on 26.10.2011.Its a little girl called Daisy Annabelle and she is perfect.

 

[pip7890]

Congratulations Supermum

Andrea I'm so with you. I really miss BnB but find I'm reading and running so much more.

Good news - Andrew finally regained his birth weight today. He's back up at 6lb 10oz which is a gain of just under 10oz in a week! Oh and he's 3 weeks old in about 7 minutes!!

Good luck returning to work repogirl and tlh and anyone else that has to go back soon.
No ways I could manage that. Even when I try and get out the house by 9am I only land up leaving closer to 11! Jsut can't seem to get us ready before then!

Really glad Andrew has finally regained his birth weight Pip!
