CaptainCaveman · 19/08/2008 15:55

congratulations ts & family and welcome to Reese . Glad you finally decided to join us . Hope your recovery is swift ts, and not too painful.

sarah & sazz beautiful wee girlies you both have, awwww. Sazz I'm particularly proud of how glam you look - well done for making the Aug 08 ladies look lovely.

giggle yes to red loss. Mine changed to brown then went back to red after about a week. Much less now but still red - kind of a 'watered down' version of blood (ie not as thick). Mw is coming to see me again friday and will send me off to gp is loss is still red (ds2 will be 3 wks old by then).
I am also considering a wii fit as it should make exercise easier (ie, no need to make gargantuan effort to get out of the house!)

Welcome too to micromum . Sadly Lucky for you, you missed most of the ante-natal indecency...eg. pg porn, naked pg ladies flashing at their neighbours, lusting after married men who happen to be vicars.....the list is endless!! Still, I'm sure the post-natal threads will be equally as indecent

Feeling good again today, scar hurting a little but I have now run out of diclofenac. I guess I should take paracetamol too instead of just thinking about it!!

miamla · 19/08/2008 16:01

hmm is it wrong to prop my laptop on T's side? it does mean i've got two hands to type while i'm bf!

I've been doing a bit more reading than posting on here recently and have seen that lots in the post natal corner seem to be a bit down for various reasons but mainly because of bf issues. I wanted to write up what was happening here just to give another side to the story of life with a new baby. I really hope noone sees it as bragging, I just want any other first timers to know that bf can work with no problems.Yes its incredibly hard work especially during the night and especially in the first few weeks but already (T is 3 weeks tomorrow), it does seem to be easier. I appreciate I'm incredibly lucky that it just seemed to work right from the start. T seemed to know what he was meant to do and I feel like he taught me.I have been known to wake him up from a long sleep because my boob felt like it would explode but apart from that odd occasion i've been feeding on demand. Saying that, its not all sunshine and roses here, eg, last night he fed continually from 9.30pm til 3am. I have no idea where he puts it all and i'm amazed my milk seemed to keep going for him. Been doing a bit of reading and from what i can gather, the marathon feeds like last night are T increasing my milk supply (I'm more than happy to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable than me on this though!)

right, T finished and asleep now so i'm going to grab a half hour snooze too. hope my ramblings make sense and to all that are having trouble..hang in there girls x x

Buckets · 19/08/2008 16:15

Yay TS! Now the good thing about a CSection is you are forced to take it easy. You will however get urges to rearrange your furniture simply because you've been told you can't.
LOL at 8lb9oz being big but then TS does look a slim wee thing in pics so I guess it's all relative.

PetitFilou1 · 19/08/2008 16:28

miamla That clip is lovely, almost made me cry. Good on you for posting - I was lucky enough to find bf just worked for me too - you are right it is not always a nightmare. Although, with every baby it is different!

AnnVan · 19/08/2008 17:26

Hello all, I've been and had a manicure. was so tired I felt like I was going to fall asleep the whole way through.

Really should go to shop to put money on prepay elecric meter. Hate pre pay.

iliketosleep · 19/08/2008 17:28

Yay TS well done! Closure at last, I can have mine now

Reese also shares a birthday with my DD2 who was 7 yesterday

Been for a lovely slow long walk with the DC and I never though I would say it but it was actually fun!

It was spitting on and off, clouds were black and the wind was enough to take your breath away every now and then but it was great!! Haven't felt this good for a while now, forgot what it felt like to fel happy

Got midwife tomorrow so hopefully a sweep will be on offer!!

Off for tea now, homemade fried chips full of grease and vegetarian ravioli yum

AnnVan · 19/08/2008 18:10

Didn't makeit to the shop yet, as the phone rang and had some catching up to do. (my A level History teacher) such a lovely lady and we're still in touch after all these yeaers!

oopsacoconut · 19/08/2008 18:28

YAY TS and welcome to Reese (finally) Hopefully TS you will now rest and recover after labouring for so long!

Finally managed to get some nursing bras today in a superb stunning supernork size of .....36K yip I nearly fell off my dinosaur the 36G I tried on last week gave me triple boobs HELP how much will the still grow?

AnnVan · 19/08/2008 18:35

OMG Oops supernorks indeed!
Mind you, I saw a programme about women with big boobs, and the problems associated therewith, and there was a girl whose NORMAL size was 36K!
I bought one nursing bra in John LEwis last week, measured at 34E. Not sure how to order some online, as I seem to come up with different measurements from different shops.

ts helloooooooo........
welcome reese, well done mummyts - and do tell us about the process and how you ended up with csection!
lot sof love to you as you recover.

TwilightSurfer · 19/08/2008 19:11

Ladies all was a breeze until 12:30 when they broke my waters....I was 8cm/80%/0station. AND THAT'S WHERE I STAYED....... Until 5:28pm when DD2 was PULLED OUT of me via top hatch. We did everything imaginable to change the situation. Her head was just too big from my . Doc told me this morning he kinda figured things would end the way they did when he broke my bag of waters and nothing immediately happened. She was just plain old STUCK where she was. The worst part was labouring for hours first. I even allowed most of my pain meds to wear off so I could help monitor progress...baby's heart rate kept dropping with each contraction...I was attempting to manupulate her and the contractions and doing a damn good job of it BUT! She was lodge in there pretty damn good.

After the CS my world turned upside down. I hadn't eaten for 24 hours and hadn't slept in 36 hours. The meds made the room spin for me so I couldn't keep my eyes open. I puked every time I moved or attempted to open my eyes. AND my evening care nurse was a nightmare. Doc told her to get me some food. She didn't. I asked for a certain drink. She wouldn't let me have it. The witch even tried at 3AM to get me up and walking....THE ROOM WAS SPINNING FOR ME WTF so I refused to get out of bed. I started my own recovery plan about 6am and by 9am was feeling better. Doc said I might get to go home tomorrow. I kept all foods down since 8am. I've had all wires removed (except one pending one trip to the loo...which hopefully will be in a few minutes). I'm sore but not bad really. All the techs/docs and nurses have raved about my tiny cut and stitches. All the fluids they gave have made my feet look HUGE and feel funny. Otherwise I'm just tired.

Reese is good. Quite cranky. AND THICK! She has her dad's check dimples. And a nice looking tan...all the days spent sitting on the porch in the sun I guess.

Thanks so much for all your cheers. The ladies who helped me through my labor loved reading the posts. It kept us motivated. I wish things had gone smother but the bottom line is Reese is here and healthy. Can't complain about that.
