~*Team 2012 Baby*~ ladies arriving from our TTC #1 Team 2012 find your friends here!

[Mrs W 11]

Nice bump jo!

Glad you're feeling a bit better skeet. Just eat what you can Hun, I remember feeling nauseas all the time and wanting salty foods like crisps and ham! Hope you'll be feeling better soon.

Freya is a week old today, can't believe how time is flying. Really need to update my journal! Took her for the first walk in her pram today and felt sooooo happy to be pushing her finding it hard to keep up with feeding, it's hard work, I am shattered but she is amazing.

Xx

Aww sounds lovely Mrs W I always imagined pushing as pram bet u feel properly motherly!
Did u write up a full birth story anywhere id love to read it!

[Mrs W 11]

Good luck skeet, thinking of you. Sure all is well, looking forward to hearing news xx

Jo - I haven't done yet, need to do it still, never have 5 mins now Freya is here! Whirl wind of feeding, changing, winding etc!

Xx

 

[skeet9924]

Thanks ms w!! Just got home! Baby measures 7 w2days hb of 139!! It was so cool to see the hb!! The tech gave me a pic., she said she wouldn't charge me cause there wasn't much to see lol my baby looks like a blob

 

[Mrs W 11]

Yay!!!!! Congrats Hun what brilliant news you must be thrilled xx

 

[skeet9924]

I am!! I was terrified going in!! I've never had good news from a scan before!!

How are you holding up now that freya is here?

 

[Mrs W 11]

Aww I'm so pleased it was good news for you & your little bean! I got so nervous before scans but such an amazing experience!

I'm doing ok, Freya is amazing we are so besotted with her! Dh is still off work at the mo, dreading him going back next week. I've struggled a bit with feeding, she lost 12% of her birth weight so they gave me a feeding plan but I've found the expressing as well as feeding her totally unmanageable. I feel stressed and just want to enjoy her.

How are you feeling? Any sickness?

How are you jo?

[josephine3]

Aww brilliant news skeet! Thats one milestone down!
Mrs W thats sumthing im not sure on - winding . Do u need to do it after every feed until they bring something up? Do they actuallly burp or just throw up a bit?! I shud really know by now lol.

 

[Wilsey]

Congrats skeet!!!

 

[skeet9924]

Thanks ladies!!

Don't worry ms w it will get easier, you and freya will get into a routine eventually and you will be able to fully enjoy your time with her. Feeding is not as natural as everyone thinks.

I'm feeling much better since me dr put me on meds for ms. I feel much better now and can actually start to enjoy being preg

 

[Mrs W 11]

Trial & error Jo! They say bf babies don't get wind but I noticed she was doing a cry like a v high pitched scream & bringing her knees to her tummy which are signs. Mw showed us positions to put her in and pat/rub her back till she burps/ farts!!! She isn't usually sick.

Glad you can start to enjoy being preg skeet, such a magical amazing time, it can be so hard so enjoy all you can. I'm excited for you.

my baby is super gassy and is exclusively bf. it has to do with the immaturity of their digestive system. the best thing I do is pump his legs over his stomach and hear the farts come out.
When the gas is super bad, I use something called the windi. They are little catheters that you put in the butt and the gas comes whistling out. They cost $15 and are supposed to be disposable but you sterilize them in the microwave and they can be reused. The gas does get better. It did peak at about 6 weeks for me.

 

[josephine3]

Oh my god wantanerd that sounds soooo bizarre lol never ever heard of those!

 

[haj624]

skeet so glad to hear the good news!
