Praying for a 2012 BFP and 2013 Baby!!!

Forums New posts
I didn't have an electric one, although wished I did at times. You get proper arm ache! I had the dr brown's one as we had those bottles too. That does sound like an awfully long time hun, you must have been sore after that :( Maybe worth speaking to the midwife/hv for some help/advice :hugs:
Love your new pic on fb, gorgeous girly x
 
Thanks Rach :)

I text the bf support yesterday & she doesn't know much about expressing! :dohh: will speak to health visitor on wed though. I wasn't sore at the time but the day after, ouch! :wacko: I'm sore again today but here I am sat in bed trying the pump without the silicone! It's better though! Still not v fast... X
 
Just a quick update for Laura, she is at the hospital now waiting to be induced, due to her bp. x
 
Quick update from Laura, Baby Beau was born at 12.15 am weighing 6lb 10 1/2 :happydance:
 
Congrats Laura! Cant wait to see a pic! Same weight as Penny is now, was weighed yesterday :)

She's given us some horrendous nights this week :sad1: DH is exhausted with being at work. She was weird last night, had 2nd feed about 4am but just wouldnt settle, rather than take her dummy & sleep, or on the other hand, cry - she wouldn't take her dummy & just lay with her eyes shut making whiny noises for 2hrs! I'm not sure if maybe she was asleep whilst she was doing it?! She'd been fed, changed & winded so I can't think what was wrong with her. We couldn't sleep through it so knackered now...

The 1st few weeks are definitely a challenge to say the least hun. I swear by the book a guide to a peaceful nights sleep. It got Harry doing 8hours in one stretch by 5wks and 11 by 9 wks :thumbup:
 
Ooh might have to check it out! You weren't bf then though we're you? I have heard formula babies are better sleepers :shrug: x
 
You're right yes, he did start sleeping better once he had formula at night. My doctor even said they sleep better not that she was advocating formula of course!
 
How many weeks was he when you put him on formula Hun? I've started penny on infacol tonight, the hv said if the crying wasn't a one off it maybe colic so after another crying episode tonight when she wouldn't settle I thought I'd try it. It takes. 3 days or so to notice the difference apparently, but already she is farting like mad so it seems to be doing something lol!

Oh quite early for the night time feeds, maybe 2 weeks. You just have to expect for a while to be quite engorged in the morning until your body gets used to it!
 
indeed! wow, it's brought it all back to me. Remember going for a night out when Thomas was about 6wks. Had expressed lots so I could have a drink, then at 5 in the morning I was up expressing, as my boobs were huge and so ouchy! and all I wanted to do was sleep as my head was hurting after something like 2 or 3 vino's! You are a proper lightweight on your 1st night out :haha:
 
Haha sounds lovely NOT!! We're at a wedding on thurs & it looks like we'll be taking Penny (despite her not being invited lol) I've got my medela pump & its much much better than the TT, but I've no idea how much milk she's going to need & even if I left her I'd need to express when I was there. Plus I don't really want to leave her for more than a couple of hours. I need to gradually build it up! But I've had to re-think my whole outfit as none of the dresses you can get now are suitable for bf as they all have straps! :dohh: So I've had to order some tops to try & will take my bf apron x
 
Yeah it can be bit tricky knowing what to wear :dohh:

:hi: dg good thanks. Any updates on donor's, starting date for you? x
 
Not yet but as of today only two more cycles to wait til I officially start iui. Sill need to select the donors and do blood screening. Think I will get the blood screening done sometime after may 2, when I have more time on my hands (less work hours plus no class). If I figured my af chart right, I think they will be doing IUI sometime near July 4th or shortly before that. I plan to wait til af shows in June to report the first day to start the iui.
 
Exciting stuff DG! :thumbup:

Managed to express 4ozs today! :happydance: Rach did you find you got much more off one boob than the other? I get hardly anything from my left yet penny feeds off it quite happily! x
