He'll be fine Ducky. Lots of babies have it and it just takes a few days to sort out.

Use the time to rest and recover- he'll keep you awake plenty in a few nights time.

You both just need a bit of looking after for a few days. Flowers

Thanks guys. Went for a feed at 2am after a kip, the kip made me feel like a completely different person!

Had some good news Smile he was on 2 lamps but he's now on one GrinGrinGrin and he is eating like a trooper. His levels keep improving. Just got to keep my fingers crossed for his infection blood results to come back normal.

I was a bit annoyed as I was brought up to the ward, they gave me a bottle and left me to it, he was having 15 -20 ml every 3+hours (less than half the bottle) no one said anything too me about it but it turned out he should have been having the whole bottle every 3 hours. I feel like te midwifes up here should be teaching new mums this stuff but they don't. I haven't done this before so really
Don't know this stuff! The ladies in scbu have been ace and hVe sat with me and showed me how to feed/burp. The lack of food would have been a factor in the jaundice.

They wanted me to try and get more sleep so the midwife was going to feed him at 5am and possibly give him a 4 hour feed if he would take it as he been eating so well. Smile he's looking loads better (that's quite difficult for my eyes cus to me he looked beautiful anyway EnvyEnvy)

Do you work in a scbu tori?

Hope your postie turns up nice and early cupcake and save fmu!

Hope you start to feel better too lulu.

I hope today is full of good news for everyone x

Ducky23 · 10/12/2014 07:50

He's been ok lol he brings me things prezzies and stuff every day and comes twice a day for a few hours.

Just been to see him, he had a massive feed at 5 GrinGrinGrin

His jaundice levels have just been taken again so I'm praying they come back fine so if at the least he can come back to my room.

Then we will await his infection results. Confused

And glad I've got a better midwife now! :) :)

Ducky23 · 10/12/2014 15:03

It will be a very nerve wracking time for you, I found it very helpful having the early scan, maybe you could arrange that?

So happy for you Smile

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 10/12/2014 15:36

I got told by the hospital I'll be entitled for a early scan around 7:8 weeks they said :s but dunno how to arrange it? Do I go see the doctor? Normally I just see a midwife about 8weeks.

Thanks lulu :)

And Tori ur comepletly right, it's sad tho because pregnancy should be exciting and happy etc but of ive had a loss it's more nerve wracking and anxious. And that is a perfect way to put it, 'a brillant fresh start' :) yep, this is our fresh start, I'm just so happy it's happened again, I feel so lucky to have conceived again.

Siarie · 10/12/2014 20:56

Yay congrats cupcake, have you taken a pic? I remember your last BFP. You left it on the garden gate for your DH right?

Good news all round, what a lovely day.

LuluJakey1 · 11/12/2014 07:04

Oh Cupcake! Poor you and poor DS. That's awful. You will both be so tired this morning. What was the matter with him? Did he sleep eventually and did you?
