[maxiflump1]

New thread ladies. 2 gorgeous bundles have already arrived...

@Babynum2 fingers crossed you get to have cuddles soon and your new little bundle will be home before you know it 😊

A friend of mine had her baby last week and intended to breast feed but it didn't work.

She said hospital don't supply milk at all.

Is this right?

What milk did you take if so

@alicejj8x so sorry for your loss but like you said hes at rest now no more pain!

@lookingatthestats89 iv just been down and they have took him off oxygen he just has sugar water drip now and im actully in tears that i have produced milk! I had a correction on my breasts and i had silicon put under my muscle to even them as 1 was a D and one was a B a few years ago i couldnt produce milk with DD and they said it may be for this reason but i just hand expressed into a syringe and he took it straight awAy!
I hope little teddy is okay is he aloud out for cuddles yet? X

@babyp160 they have milk here the ready made bottles. Call your unit as every hosp is diff and also situations x

@Babynum2 thank you so much. Yes and he's looking down. Congrats on your little one hope baby is ok xxx

@Babynum2 congratulations! I hope you’re both reunited soon and that he’s allowed out sooner than they currently predict (i’ve heard before that they say 6 weeks as standard but many babies are out in less).

@Alicejj8x i’m really sorry for your loss.

Congratulations @Babynum2, so exciting! It’s crazy that some people have weeks of work left and others have already had there babies and we are all due around the same time. I’m so excited to meet my baby, I feel she is going to arrive sooner I keep getting awful cramps and lots of watery discharge, I’m only 34 weeks so hope she stays in a little longer! A friend of mine had her little one last night and it was a wake up call for me. I haven’t packed a single thing yet for the hospital I think I’m in denial about her coming.

@Alicejj8x - so sorry for your loss. Like you say, at least he's not suffering. Wishing you and your family love xx

So sorry to hear about your Grandad @Alicejj8x. Will be a horribly upsetting time but you are right in that he is now at peace. Your little girl may not get the chance to meet him but part of him will always live on in her. Thinking about you xx

Thank you everyone such lovely words xxxx

@mummybm you might want to think about packing a bag thats how mine started x

@alicejj8x I am sorry to hear this. But from what you said he sounded like a proud man. So he is at peace now cliche as it sounds. Just not nice for those left behind. xx

@Babynum2 that is brilliant on the milk front. You have got this 💪 my cousin is a lactation consultant who works in a hospital along side mothers of premies to help them suringe express etc. She is a volunter so under less pressure and time constraints that actual staff. Might be worth asking if you hospital has simular help available. But sounds like you are doing well

@MummyBM - re the watery discharge, keep an eye (not that you wouldn't) - my waters trickled in my first pregnancy and I was induced x

Hi all, I would’ve posted sooner but everything was rather crazy. My girls are here! I started experiencing a headache and abdominal pains yesterday plus some dizziness so called my mum then while she was here starting throwing up so she called an ambulance. Turns out my fears had come true and I’d developed preeclampsia so I was taken in to have an emergency c-section. Luckily they are here now and both the babies and I will be staying in hospital to be monitored but all is looking okay for now. Abigail Beverly was born at 8:12 pm weighing 3 pounds 6 and Celeste Christine was born at 8:14 weighing 4 pounds 2. It was a very scary situation but honestly am so relieved to have them here and safe ❤️

@BeverlyZimek - wow, so scary! Well done you for getting help. Congratulations on your beautiful girls.

Wishing you all a speedy recovery xxx

Aw wow @BeverlyZimek what a scary time for you! So pleased that both of your girls and you are ok. Hope you had your bag suitably packed! Hope you can all come home soon.

So sorry to hear about your loss @Alicejj8x hope you are doing okay xx I am sure your grandad will be looking down super proud of you and like you said better he is not suffering ❤️

Congratulations @BeverlyZimek that sounds really scary! I hope you and both the babies are okay and make a quick recovery!!

We will have to make a new baby thread soon!!

@Alicejj8x so sorry to hear about your grandad. I lost my Gran in Sept so she never got to meet the baby either but she did at least know about it so I have some joy from knowing that.

@BeverlyZimek wow that must have been a shock but glad that you’re all ok! Congratulations, enjoy your time with your two little bundles x

@BeverlyZimek aww congratulations... wishing you all a quick recovery!

@BeverlyZimek Oh wow, congratulations!!!

Congrats @BeverlyZimek and @Babynum2 !

Sorry for your loss @Alicejj8x . I've also lost a grandparent during this pregnancy. It's odd thinking about that they'll never meet the baby, but, for me at least, it's comforting to remind myself they knew about the baby/that I was pregnant before they passed.

So sorry for your loss @Alicejj8x was just reading through some of the comments and saw what happened!

Thank you guys, it was the scariest moment of my life, I had no idea whether they were okay or not because I knew how serious preeclampsia can be. I feel so lucky as it could’ve been a lot worse.

Congrats @BeverlyZimek! Hope you’re all reunited soon

@BeverlyZimek oh wow congratulations. 2 little girls how lovely 😍 mums know best hey. Bet you where glad to have her there.

Picking a name when you are a teacher is the worst!
