We made the trimesters pass quickly!

[brunettebimbo]

Did you tell her no?

We've hit a growth spurt already I think! He cluster fed from 11.30 until 2.30!

 

[Mummy to be x]

I heard her on the phone hinting to Scott, I said do not let her come here I'm tired and went rest. Cheek of it!

How's the little man doing BB?

 

[brunettebimbo]

Cluster feeding like mad! He's really alert today. He was awake for an hour before on his playgym. He hasn't been awake like that before. He was then awake whilst feeding too.

 

[Carlyp1990]

Omg amy that's crazy! Has your mum met Archie yet?

I'm fully expecting my mum to be round every single day :-/

BB it's great that he's more alert! I'm dreading the cluster feeding! How did Tristan cope with you being tied up with elijah for that long? Xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

Totally fine. Hubbys boys are here so they are all watching How to train your dragon. I guess this is where my wrap will come in handy once Hubby is back at work.

Oh my gosh, Amy. I would of given Simon 'the look' tell her to have her own baby I bet you can't wait to be closer to your family again.

I don't think my family will be around every day which is nice, although my Grandad does tend to come round randomly I'm sure my Nan will put him straight though. Married for decades, live together and hate each other My Nan said she only married him to piss his mum off He is a nightmare most times though, you'd think he was a kid sometimes.

I can't wait to see photos of Lucy, shouldn't take too long should it if you're already at 3cm? I have no idea how induction works x

 

[Carlyp1990]

I think it depends on if she moves so I can progress, I think that's what's worrying me. If she stays back to back then it will take longer to progress. Fingers crossed she will arrive quickly and I can be home tomorrow night with her so katie doesn't have to sleep out again... don't think im that lucky though

Beckii your nan and grandad sound hilarious! I'm Gunna have so many visitors in the first few days it's Gunna be manic! I just hope people with kids have the decency to not let them make a mess and then just leave it!

I've just packed katies bags for 2 nights and it looks like she's moving out

Amanda has been quiet, I hope she's ok and just settling into life as a mum of 3 xx

 

[0203]

Carly. Henry was back to back and from my waters breaking I was 4cm to him be in born was 6 hours. I don't know how that compares to other labours or if it's different for an induction though?

We are just waiting for a doctor's appointment as Henry's eyes are really sore and gunky. We keep cleaning them and I even putbreast Fmilk On them like the midwife suggested but they just get bad again straight away.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Amanda is reading the thread now

Carly have they mentioned breaking your waters?

 

[brunettebimbo]

0203 Elijah's had one sticky eye since birth. He had a 7 day course of eye drops and they are improving. The Doctor thinks it is a blocked tear duct and will clear on its own. I hope Harry's clears soon.

 

[Mummy to be x]

My mum hasn't met Archie yet hopefully she is coming at the weekend.

Beckki your grandparents sound hilarious

I was wondering about Amanda too I hope she's ok.

Carly I bet they'll just break your water, that's what they did at my hospital if you where ready and at that point.

Archie has a gooey eye too so I'm keeping an eye on it at the moment, it wasn't too bad when he woke this morning so fx'd we don't need a doctor appointment.

How you feeling about the whole induction process Carly xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I love them to pieces but when they get going you know when to leave the room or bite your lip and stick your head down My Nan calls him all the names under the sun but he won't dare say anything back that she can hear! He mumbles it

I feel SO energetic tonight, I have this uncontrollable urge to clean and tidy!! x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ooh your nesting Beckii!! How late was Jayden again? Xx

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

I'm doing ok Mummy. The first week after the section sucks but week 2 was much better. I've seem have developed pp high blood pressure and I'm debating on whether or not to start meds my doctor gave me. They pass to baby in breast milk and could cause him to have slow heartrate so I'm kinda deflated because I don't want to keep nursing if it will harm him by taking meds.

If it was me I would just swap baby to formula with a risk like that Hun.

Do you have any advice with regards to recovery? I think I deluded myself a little prior to the operation I never thought it'd be this painful afterwards lol.

Definitely take it easy, don't pick up anything heavier than baby. Walk as much as possible even if it's just around the house. I found that staying in bed made my bum hurt and it got really uncomfortable to sit. Walking around is a "b" at first but it helps you recover much faster. Did they give you any pain meds?

 

[ab75]

aaarrrggghhh just typed a long long post and lost it.

hope you are all ok.
amy, sorry you are sore. glad madeleine is being good with archie.

bb,yay for growth spurt.

good luck tomorrow carly. hope lucy doesn't keep you waiting too long.

hi, to everybody else, typing one handed as feeding, hence the short reply and lack of capital letters.

we're doing good. totally in love with frazer. he is feeding well. girls are always wanting to hold and kiss him xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Pink - that's what I found at first, my bum hurt if I sat too long. I'm trying to do the walking and standing every now and again otherwise if I sit too long getting up is agony.
They gave me paracetamol and ibuprofen but the paracetamol wore off quickly so I've swapped them to some stronger paracetamol called Anadin extra and they are working much better for me.

Hi Amanda glad all is ok your end and Frazer is doing good xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

That's great Amanda. Glad you and little Frazer are well.

Jayden went 10 days over but I never had this urge with him, it's so bizarre! x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Fx'd little lady doesn't go that far over x

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Ugh I hope so. If she does maybe my sweep will kick start things lol I'm going to ask not to be induced until the 14th day too rather than the 12th. I'd really like her to come on her own x

 

[Carlyp1990]

No they haven't really mentioned anything about what will happen, just gave me a leaflet and told me to ring beforehand

I'm feeling ok I think, slightly nervous about it being more painful and about being left waiting around but I know that induction is the best thing at this point before the placenta starts deteriorating.

Beckii I wish I had that urge! Just going to clean up from tea then get ready to take katie to my parents. I hope for your sake and sanity your not left waiting an extra 10 days!

Amanda im glad your all doing ok xx
