April TTC girls! Where there's a new baby! Tons of BFP's! And lots more to come!

They didn't tell me how much to give him just to feed on demand :-/

I was thinking that cupcake, will see what the HV says tomorrow. I have to call and update them

Well Cupcake, that DM article is a typically nasty piece of writing by them. DM readers are never kind to anyone- except I will say in their defence, they always contribute generously to animal welfare causes. But they aren't kind to people! I wouldn't lose sleep over the comments.

That does seem a lot Little glutton! Where is he putting it all? He looks very well on it in his photo though.

He will adapt. He can have more than DS bcause he weighs more. How much did they say to give him?

I am going to have a look at Cupcake's DM article.

Ds was having 4oz every 1-2 hours, sometimes a bit more then in the night he usually has 60 - 90 ml an hour, he has gained weight fast.

I made him go 3 hours and he wasn't happy at all but I stuck by it. He has another hour and 15 mins until his next feed I just feel so evil!

We've had a right day with lots of little things going wrong - never mind!

Ducky he has 3oz every 3 hours ish. Ends up about 21-24 oz per day. How much is DS having? It is what they told us at the hospital.

He has been awake almost all day, including at the Registrar's. We took him out for tea in town afterwards and he didn't seem to mind at all. He has been asleep about an hour, finally.

DH was very proud at the registrar when she made a big fuss of DS. He insisted on holding him and was telling her about how good he is and how alert he is.

I had it siarie and it went straight after the birth

I think I have SPD, I thought it was ligament but it's not. After reading about SPD it sounds exactly like what I have.

Going to talk to my midwife about it Monday. It's already getting more painful now, it's flaring up without walking these days and I can't bend to put socks or trousers on without it killing.

Ducky didn't you have it? Has it gone since birth?

You have to drink naice champagne cupcake cheap stuff gives me headaches, or does the nice stuff do that as well? The stuff we buy is our treat, we don't drink weekly so usually splash out once a month. Although we have something very special saved for D Day!

I may have left you a smily face as a comment on one of your latest videos

Ducky your DS might grow out of the dairy intolerance so I wouldn't worry too much.

So based on my book it says formula fed should be 3-4 hours whereas breastfeeding 1-1.5 hours.

It's part of why I'm looking forward to just bottle feeding now. I doubt my body will be able to produce a milk supply that's sufficient anyway (thyroid issues) and I also get to drink champagne again.

I miss champagne so very much

omg cupcake you're famous! I didn't just stalk you on fb

ducky he's obviously hungry, he wouldn't just eat and eat - I was told my milk was too rich with dd2 as she was putting on too much weight you can't win!

hope everyone else is doing well x

I don't know the consultant made me feel bad, he said currently he's eating over 3 times what he should be but all the midwifes and HV knew how much I was feeding him and never said anything. I just feel a bit lost with it at the moment. I have read a couple of things that say over feeding can cause a few things that he has :-/ why is it so difficult!

They said if it's the intolerance then they will put his formula on prescription. Do you know if they grow out of it? Or will he have to have dairy free stuff when he's older

How much is yours eating lulu?

Pay no notice of them cupcake, people can be assholes.

Mw arranged for ds to be checked at hospital, they think he may have a milk intolerance they also said I need to not feed him more than 3 hourly

I read some of them Cupcake, Daily Mail comments are always like that. Don't take any of them as real life opinions, they don't know the amount of people who using the internet to document their TTC journey and the benefits of it.

Without being able to join in on mums net I wouldn't have had anyone to talk to while I was TTC.

I have a repeat prescription for iron tablets already (doctors gave it to me because I get anaemic all the time). But I will get my blood tested I think when I see the midwife next Monday for my 25 week appointment, just so I know if it really is low.

I feel a bit better now though. Oh great news about the weight gain Ducky! What a little star.

I was anemic before pregnancy and it got worse when I was pg, can you ask your gp for a blood test siarie? They can prescribe iron tablets for you.

He's put weight on I'm really surprised. Mw is going the hospital to speak to the drs to see if they have any ideas about it/how long it lasts

Actually I think maybe I'm sick and anaemic, i feel like I might be sick but it doesn't feel like MS did. Knowing me I probably picked something up from the GP yesterday!

I feel kind of weird, I think I might be a little anaemic so going to have a few iron tablets today. Usual signs, short of breath, I can feel my heartbeat, cold, tired and I look pale.

I have an easy day today, a cleaner is coming for four hours and were going to order takeaway later. Kind of annoying as my usual cleaner couldn't make it so I'll have to show the new one where everything is and she won't be the same, had to do that last time too as it was christmas and the lady must have been off.

What CD are you now Cupcake? It's hard though ducky as you don't want to make a fuss although over nothing or at least thats how I always feel. Not just about pregnancy but in general I always try and just make do when I don't feel well.

Id say just remember to get checked if you are EVER worried about movements or even if you feel uneasy get it checked

I lost count of the amount of times that I got checked out haha

I just watched some of your videos, hope you don't mind

Oh I don't feel well this morning, oh dear.

Ahh cupcake I remember you talking about this now. Interesting article but I hate how DM always put a spin on things, were the video uploads part of a scheme with clearblue? Or am I totally thinking or something different.

Weddings are so so much fun to plan, i loved doing it. I Spent so much time on Etsy and other places planning, pretty much the same as I'm doing for the baby planning actually

As I write this I'm starting to feel better now. I must have waited too long to eat breakfast this morning.

Reading ducky and lulu's posts are making me so excited to meet my little one. I do hope it all goes well, I'm keeping my eye on movements now after you telling me about your experience ducky. If I don't feel her move for a bit I put some music on or eat something sweet to get her to kick.
