Who is next?

 

[essie0828]

Awww thanks ladies She has stolen quite a few hearts on the home front already. She is doing so well to have had a bit of a rough start. She lost down to 6lb 6oz before leaving the hospital and just now we have got her back up to 6lb 11 oz. Im having to pump breastmilk because she dosent have a good enuf latch and giving formula on the side. But as you can see she is a happy baby. Smiles a lot.

NSN not too long now hun. Your rainbow will be here soon. Your doing soo well, try to relax and enjoy. But I agree, it sucks that you have to wait. Will be stalking you to see your lil

Loving being a mom ladies. Cant believe I waited till I was 30 to do this. Seems like she has been apart of our family forever.

Hi all, I would like to officially introduce you all to our little Verity.

well labour wasn't to bad, As i said i started contracting here, Tens machine wasnt alot of good. we got to the hospital abou 3am i think and i was 4cm, the midwife didnt actually believe i was in labour as i was calm.

I got my birthing pool, wwhich was great, and had gas and air, i was coping okay. i had really strong urges to push, where my whole tummy would do massive movements. then had some weaker ones. but they were coming good and fast.

the mw made me get out of the pool about midday, got examined and was 10cm so was told i could push, after about 2 hours, contractions were still good but only 1 in 5ish was making me want to push, i was still quite relaxed by then, but baby had turned back to back and my back was killing. if it had of just been the contractions i could have easily coped. but the back pain was constant.

So after 4 hours of pushing and not really getting very far, they wanted to prep me for forcepts, spinal and possible section, but due to an emergancy i had to wait neally another hour of back ache and pushing. eventually i had a spinal block, which was heaven!!!, baby came out via forcepts after 4 short pushes. Love her so much!!!

we got back to ward, and had 2 hourly checks for 24 hours. verity then developed Jaundice, so wasnt feeding very well as she was so sleepy, so am currently also brest and express feeding, but she has really turned a corner today and is much more alert, so we were allowed to go home this arvo!

My episiotamy stitches hurt like hell now (cant sit/stand/ walk), i would have to say that is the worst bit.

looking forward to everyone else popping!!! xxx

Cornish, your little man's hair is absolutely adorable!! My dd had a lot of hair too!! Such a cutie!! Glad all is going well!

SS, Verity is so precious! I don't think she could be any cuter if she tried!! Thanks for writing your birth story and sorry the last part did not go as planned....but I guess it never does!!

Essie, Glad all is well with you and Hayley! She is so adorable, and I can't imagine how many people she already has wrapped around her little finger!!

So excited for you three!!

Amy, so good to hear from you! Glad Connie is still doing well and recovered so nicely from her eye surgery. Your girls are both so sweet, great pictures of your family!

I am still hanging in there!! Sleep is such a task now, I am up almost every hour. My BH are starting to get a bit painful....maybe that is a sign!! LOL. (Wishful thinking!!)

Hope everyone else is doing well and also "hanging in there!"

SS thanks for sharing story. Verity is beautiful. Have you tried a few drops of lavender oil and milk in your bath, it's really helped me and my stitches. Oh and regular arnica to help the bruising.

Addy, you must be next? Keep an eye on those bh as it could be any day!!xxx

 

[ttclou25]

Verity is beautiful - what gorgeous babies!!! Sorry to here the end didn't go as you wanted but at least she arrived safely, hope the forceps didn't bruise her too much! It's also great to hear u were managing well with the pool and gas and air!!

Come on babies wanna see more pics xx

 

[Wyntir]

[Glowstar]

SS - she's beautiful

I had forceps with my first and an episiotomy - they didn't give you spinals back then (16 years ago) It is uncomfortable after so make sure you don't over do things, easier said than done!
