Well done poppy! We have ours thursday. I dread to think what he will weigh. He was 10.12 at 4 weeks :s

Thanks!

I think it's good if they are a good weight-means they are eating properly and I love seeing a chubby little baby. The nurse today said that Poppy is above average, but what matters is that they are in proportion and everything is growing/increasing at the same rate. Saying that though, every baby develops differently and a small/low weight baby isnt necessarily a problem.

I was just a little concerned about over feeding him. He is a gorgeous lil hunka chunka burnin love as i like to call him, lol. Im sure he will even out over time. I should check DS1s red book. The pics of him look pretty chunky when he was a bubba, but i dint think of him as chunky. He is a skinny lil thing now, lol.

Oh, bless, I hope she's ok.

How do you know if baby is back to back? Does that mean you get really bad contraction pains in your back?

All the pain was in my back but the mw could feel my bump contracting, plus they do say that back to back contractions are not as effecive which was true in my case

Chubby babies are ace. We sing 'hey fatty bum bum' to A all the time hahaha

Thats true... my contractions actually almost stopped once I reached 8cm dilated. They went from every 2 mins to every 15 mins... they werent coming regularly enough to push Poppy out-thats why I ended up having a assisted delivery with forceps and had to be cut!

I got to 8cm too and then it all seemed to stop, although the contractions were still happening in my back. I well needed to push but wasn't allowed. I then transferred to hospital and ended up with episiotomy and ventouse good job really because the cord was round his neck not once but twice. It was very scary

Awww definitly good job you got transferred to hospital then... I just dont think you expect any of these things to happen.. I just thought Id have a straightforward labour... obviously not, but its worth it. It seems like a lifetime ago though.. these six weeks have flown by!

All worth it in the end

Poppy has 5oz/6oz every 2 hours.

5oz every 3 hours for Finn. Sometimes a little more often.

I just checked sams red book. He went from just under the 25th centile at birth to the 91st at 7 weeks, haha! Mind you thats 7 weeks past term, he was 2 weeks early so 9 weeks. Finn was between 75th and 91st percentile at 4 weeks
