I can?t catch up on 6 pages!
OK, yesterday we went to hospital and they redid her levels. The doctor had spoken the nurse and knew all about us and was waiting to do the levels. He was going to keep her in because of her feeding (she hadn?t fed since the previous night apart from 90ml through the syringe) we were admitted to the ward. I expressed loads of milk (3 bottles ) I was in so much pain from not feeding for so long, I wouldn?t have mentioned the feeding otherwise but I couldn?t have gone any longer without expressing. Anyway we got to the ward and they gave her one of the bottles, they would have cup fed her but couldn?t wake her enough so she had to have it as a bottle (I couldn?t watch ) she had 50ml and started to wake up. Another doctor came and said she?d told the nurse that we could wait till Monday as the levels weren?t that high so she was rather surprised to see us. She also wasn?t sure why we had been sent to the ward so she sent us home. 24 hours after going on strike Sîan started feeding again, she?s still been quite slow though, her soft spot is a little sunk but she is feeding well when she gets on. On a positive note, I fell asleep feeding her this morning and noticed awhile later she relatched herself and fed without any input, which is a first, so I?m pleased she did that now when things have been difficult IYSWIM.
Today I have been busy sorting out my room (at my parents). I think as I?m due next week my nesting instinct has kicked in! Mum spent 10 hours ironing (mostly my stuff as I bought a lot of washing over that TBD didn?t do as I?ve been here since before Christmas) and I?ve been putting it away, which meant rearranging the cupboards and I?ve been cleaning the room at the same time, trying to make it ours rather than the spare room everyone sleeps in when they stay come storage for my brother and sister?s things that they didn?t take with them. My back is killing!
Congratulations Herb! The exclusive club is getting bigger!
I remember someone on a parenting forum said they had sex 14 times in one day in an effort to speed things up! I?m not sure I could get to 14 times if I wasn?t pregnant, let alone when I was full term! That?s the problem with natural induction it takes a lot of it to work.
To all you who are still having sex, enjoy it while you can! We?ve tried a couple of times but either Sîan wakes or I?m just not able
MOS you don?t have to get your thighs apart you know Anyone, quick change of subject, don?t be embarrassed, like IDBI says it?s normal to be feeding at this age. I?ve allowed Tink to take her own path with it because I think she is too attached now to just take it from her, I think there is a small window where you can then you have an effort to do it.
IDBI when I was having contractions (the final time) Tink had a feed and the difference was amazing, she was gulping and swallowing and looked milk drunk at the end! All the best for tomorrow, but I guess you won?t read this till later anyway!
Oh Lardy! I feel sick just thinking about it, you poor thing! I hope you are both feeling a little better and that you feel much better soon, you don?t want to be feeling beaten up when you have the baby, however it comes.
Spotty I was just like that when I was in labour with Lily-Hope!
KT it sounds like things could be happening, as long as your waters haven?t broken then it?s fine to have sex.
swampster that Chinese link is interesting, I worked out my three signs and it?s actually not bad and I don?t believe in that sort of thing lol. I know what you mean about the emergency, but it really wasn?t that bad, better than the crash anyway! It wasn?t as rushed as I expected so they had lots of time to talk to me about things, even when they decided they would have to give me a GA they took time to explain what they would do.
MS definitely a show!!! Looks like there might be at least four more babies on their way!
?SJ? hasn?t introduced herself. The cull never happened did it?
