get it out before she pops 2

[littlemaemae]

Following on from aibu to take dd3 to a&e

So pleased there has been some movement.

Following on from my comments on the last thread. I'm glad you're feeling much calmer now, and you've done everything right.

Any large explosions yet??

So glad to hear she is feeling a bit better.

I hope you also get to the bottom (excuse the pun) of what has caused this and can get her on an effective maintenance routine once she has been cleared out.

I'm glad that there has been a little bit of progress, but the treatment you've had seems terrible. I hope that she is feeling much better soon.

Morning, we have just had a tsunami.
Sorry if it puts anyone off their breakfast!
Her tummy sounded like a thunder storm then a flood of transparent brown liquid went through the nappy all over the floor and then there was the usual diareah you would expect in the nappy. I don't know which came first. But very sure it was two separate types as apposed to one motion.
Is this a good sign?
The liquid was far more than she has drank today. Is dehydration a risk?
Thanks for checking up on us xxxx

We have disimpacted before but she wasn't so severe and it was straight forward and not this hard

Hurray. The movicol is doing its job and getting things moving. This is all good. Keep going with the movicol regime to make sure she gets completely clear, can take days. No need to worry about dehydration, just keep her drinking plenty liquids. Hope your DD is feeling more comfortable.

Good news mae. You still in hospital?

Sounds like it's working. How are you?

Hurray! Just keep going and don't worry too much. Most of that liquid was sitting inside distending her tummy anyway.

I'm sure she is feeling much much better now.

We can home late yesterday morning, thank god.
Ok great, that is really reassuring. She must be feeling better after getting all of that puts
Will be careful where I let her sit in the future and will get a waterproof sheet to put under her and will be staying close to home!
She seems ok in herself and taking it in her stride. A bit pale but would expect that really xx

Wow, your poor little dd, she sounds like a real trooper though. Well done to both of you...hopefully thats the worst over.

Congrats on the poonami. Your washing machine must be working overtime. Have you got ice lollies to tempt her to take more fluids ?

Great news. 😄

Really glad to hear this!

Glad to hear you're back home. Less traumatic for little ones. Don't forget the liquioce it may seem strange but it works. Only need a couple of pieces. As she gets better smoothies are great as you can put lots of things little one might not like and it is hidden. I received a Nutri Bullet for Christmas and it is brilliant. Take advice on when to introduce as it may aggravate if given too soon but at the right time will help keep her more regular. I hope they get to the origin of what is causing this. Claire Rayner The Body Book might be helpful. Take care not to show all of it as it has sex ed in. Very good for explaining what happens to our food though.

Great to hear that things are starting to move!

Stay close to home.
Give some calpol for tummy pain.
It will take few days.
Get some childrens probiotics powder from health food store the good stuff isn't cheap but it helps when given daily .

Bless your little girl, she sounds like a trooper. Does she know there are lots of people on the internet taking a keen interest in her poops? . Hope you all have a restful day while on poop watch

Delurking to say well done to you all, and I've never been so glad to hear about someone pooing! Poonami-tastic :)

Well done both of you . When we had a similar incident we had a Poo Party to celebrate its evacuation. Lots of lovely poo-related things like swiss rolls and we made up a poo song and dance. Of course, you may not be as barking as us .

When I saw that she had pooed I actually shed a tear! Been reading this thread with my heart in my mouth!

I really hope you manage to get this sorted long term rather than having to go through constipation and disimpaction on a cycle. You sound like a wonderful loving mom X

Ah, that's brilliant news : ) I've been lurking on both threads and DH has been asking for updates. We're both very relieved for you both!

YYY TO KinkyDorito for your list of how to deal with hospitals.

Regarding being fobbed off, just wanted to add that shortly after I gave birth to DS I was in hospital feeling really terrible. I was told I was being melodramatic and that it was my fault I was in pain (birth wounds) because I wasn't making enough effort to be mobile. A lot of the behaviour was bullying. I was even shouted at for having 3 pillows (only 2 permitted!) to make myself comfortable. Literally 1.5 days later I was in intensive care with Multi System Organ Failure, hence why I had been feeling ill (understatement). The lesson I learned there was not to be stoical when in pain. The person who shouts loudest gets treated first!
