They have breastfeeding support workers, one is coming to see me today so hopefully it will help. Don't like not being able to keep up with her need

YY I saw a lactation consultant at a breastfeeding clinic and she was really helpful.

Home now, felt a bit rushed today as it's Saturday we have my DSSs so as soon as we got home my OH went to collect them. Feel like I've neglected both DD and DSSs. I know DD needs me more but trying to keep things normal with the boys.

Still not managed to latch on but getting better so will express a little later

GenghisKahnSchmitz · 26/03/2017 23:12

Congratulations Carol!! She's beautiful!! I'm so happy you have your wee baby - what a dote. I hope everything is going well at home.

I really need to learn my MN password for on my phone as I've been in hospital until yesterday but wasn't able to get on MN.

Anyway, my news is DS is here!! He arrived on Tuesday night and is absolutely perfect. I'm so in love with him. I can stare at him all day and hate putting him down. The birth was fine - he was a bit distressed so they would only let me labour for a certain amount of hours before moving to a c-section but thanks to some drugs I managed to make it in time. However, I did end up having forceps and an episiotomy as his head was presenting at a strange angle and he was a bit stuck. He was fine though and we're now home and getting used to life on the outside.

How's everyone else doing? And the ladies waiting for labour to kick start??

Congratulations to everyone that's had their little ones. In still waiting not due till Thursday but was hoping 2nd one would be early! Can't sleep and can't wait for this to be over with! Hmm

Sweetpeabec · 27/03/2017 07:26

I'm 3 days over due still no sign of baby. Got MW appointment tomorrow so hopefully have a sweep then.

Congratulationsgenghis on your little one. Hope your healing well and enjoying the newborn snuggles! I can't wait to have mine and to bring LO home x

Annilack · 27/03/2017 07:51

Congratulations to everyone, I love reading all the news. I'm not due until Friday but Ds1 was 8 days early so this boy already feels late.
I wonder if they will offer me a sweep at my 39+6 appointment?

Garethea · 27/03/2017 08:48

Due today and thoroughly. Miserable. I had to start my mat leave two weeks early. As the commute to work was too difficult. Due to pgp. I've been off for six weeks and I think I have reached my limit.

Been having cramps, backache for over a week but no other sign. Not even sure if I have had braxton hicks as it doesn't seem to tighten my belly, it just hurts....

Don't know how my DH puts up with me at the moment.

troodiedoo · 27/03/2017 09:11

Congrats GenghisKahnSchmitz that sounds like a tricky birth but you took it all in your stride.

I'm 7 days over today Hmm bit of backache but nothing major. Been off work for five weeks now very bored....

Tini17 · 27/03/2017 09:45

Oooooh congrats everyone on new babies! Hope the rest of them hurry up, the wait is the worst! X

Being induced with my little troublemaker,
pacing the ward 12 hours into first Propess so end is in sight :)

troodiedoo · 27/03/2017 09:51

Good luck Tini17 Flowers

Ah congrats Genghis! Grin

GenghisKahnSchmitz · 28/03/2017 12:49

Thanks everyone!

Good luck Tini - hopefully you're already cuddling a newborn!

I hope these babies start moving..Did you end up having a sweep Sweatpea and Annilack?

I hope your back isn't too sore Troodie - fingers crossed it's a sign of things stirring!

Sympathies Garathea - it sounds like you're really uncomfortable x

Sweetpeabec · 28/03/2017 15:30

I had a sweep today! Got a bit of light bleeding now. Is this the show?

troodiedoo · 28/03/2017 15:55

Sweetpeabec I don't think that's a proper show unless is mucus-ey. But I'm not sure.

I'm seeing the midwife tomorrow for second attempt at sweep. Considering going to a Chinese medicine place and trying out acupuncture Hmm I'll try anything now!

Hang in there all those yet to pop! Flowers

Sweetpeabec · 28/03/2017 16:09

Oh! Got really excited it may have worked! Currently sat on a towel and puppy training pad just in case my waters break!

Have read that acupuncture is good, did have a look into it but unsure of who to go with.

troodiedoo · 28/03/2017 16:23

Fingers crossed for you! Have you a fitness ball, get bouncing!

Sweetpeabec · 28/03/2017 16:32

Yeah I have one, think it's too small though. Swear this sweep has sent me to sleep, or am I just being lazy?

Of course you're not being lazy! Have a snooze if that's what you feel like doing.

Sweetpeabec · 28/03/2017 17:16

Okay, I have 2 more planned before I get induced (one on the weekend, then another on Tuesday, induced maybe Thursday, but hope it doesn't get to that). Hope the sweeps start it off. Currently 4 days over. Midwife could feel head and membrane waters when she swept me.
