A lovely thread for all the JS Grad Grads to chat feeding, sleep and post-birth STUFF.

Roll call please ladies and perhaps add the number of slings and buggies you have acquired at the time of posting...

It's really common for prem babies to be refluxy. Whether they give you something or not depends on your doctor. The good thing is she'll grow out of it. As horrific as things feel right now, in three or four weeks, they will be different. I'm not sure whether to carry on with meds tbh. She seems unsettled with or without them.

Boo to ERTD Furry, how dare she?! I don't want any more children so really I think mine should have a bit of courtesy and just never come back.

Happy mothers day grads! I got a lovely little charm from R. It's of one of those Chinese cats in the Chinese restaurants with the bobbing arm. She bobs her arm so we call her our Chinese cat.
Cute.

So we've had another difficult day. If this is indeed the 12 week (adjusted) wonder week, you can keep it thank you very much.
Jesus, she's never whinged so much.
And she only ate 50mls in 8 hrs!
Thought she was thirsty but she kept turning it down.
She's now passed out on the husband. It's frigging exhausting.
Anyone else remember 12 weeks and did it pass?
Please, goD. Let it pa pass!

There's a baby on miniLs ward that has gaviscon zyla, it's definitely worth asking!

I've fallen out with the mother in law. Big time. She's had the cheek to tell DP that she feels pushed out via my phone so she knows I would have seen it. Stating me and my hormones as the primary reason...given that she saw miniL before I did (something ill never forgive DP for allowing) and that she held him yesterday- the only person to hold him other than me and DP. Not even my own very lovely DM! And I gave up some of my very rare and precious cuddle time to allow that to happen she's got a damn cheek. So I've told her...it hasn't gone down well

Oh God Lauren that has made me really angry. Why can't she just see you need support right now?! It's not about her. Some people have a remarkable capacity to make themselves the centre of any situation. Hope you're ok.

The charm sounds lovely Min, well done MrMin!

There's definitely a three month thing Min. With MiniWil one of them - either three months or four - was awful. But it does pass eventually. Is there an eight week one? (looks hopefully for explanation).

Lauren HOW did she see him before you? Great news about potentially being home soon though!

Is she old enough for infacol/ colief Zyla, if its tummy ache? Drinking fennel tea is supposed to be good for colicky babies (you, not her).

DS got me some bits from Clinique for mothers day. Clever boy

5, 8, 12 and 15 weeks according to my app of doom!

Hurrah! Sanity saved. What amazing thing will she be able to do after this then?

Dunno.
Took mine til this week to even notice toys.
I sure to fuck hope at the end of this week she finds the answer to string theory or something.
Or I'm putting an ad on gumtree

What's this wonder week thingy?

I had a section wil and as miniL needed help to breathe etc he was whisked away to NICU straight away. I only got a glimpse of him. Then they took me to a ward room where I had to lay on a drip for a few hours until I got feeling back in my legs. DP stayed with MiniL so I was on my own. He let his mother in to see him while I was in the ward room on my own. Then they buggered off on a jolly to the pub across the road for a carvery and left miniL on his own in the NICU I know he won't know about it but those hours on my own with just a dodgy photo of my son were awful. I had him at 10:30am and saw him at 5:30pm

Lauren im mad and sad for you. How dare she.
The wonder weeks are developmental milestones each baby goes through at supposed set times. They get cranky, clingy and cry a lot cause they're concentrating so hard they get overtired and overstimulated.
Then at the end of the 'week' can be up to 6 weeks they do things they hadn't done before eg rolling over, laughing etc.
It's Weirdly accurate with my one. It's also based on estimated due date as opposed to delivery date, so my LO is actually 11 +5 but was overdue so really 12+5( I'm not taking into account date that scan gave me, as I used contraband so I know when I ovulate).
Google it, even if it turns out to be a load of tosh, it's quite interesting.

Well the good thing about lack of mnaps +meltdowns... She's swaddled and in bed already with a 7pm dream feed as I couldn't be arsed with the shouting if I woke her up.
Fingers crossed she stays that way til 10, I've a bottle of prosecco open.

lauren that's awful of her! Saying something was right of you imo, she needs to get a grip!

So the wonder weeks thing wouldn't be what's up with H? She's 5 weeks, but this has been getting progressively worse over a week or so, and corrected age she's only a week and a bit..?

We are going to docs tomorrow, just to check and see. She seems ok in herself at times, just inconsolable screaming after feeds, if she's not still on the boob, and inability to settle at night (and getting worse in the day), but she's alert, feeding, wet and dirty nappies etc. I'm trying not to fret too much as I'm sure it's nothing major or needing immediate attention, she's just a bit owwy in the tummy area I thinks!

Enjoy Min!

They went for a carvery?

I'd struggle with the carvery tbh, I made DH promise before we went for induction that if anything went wrong, or she had to go to nicu, that he'd stay with her and not leave her..sit outside nicu if needs be, even if I was horribly ill and I know he would have stuck to it.

Massive hugs to you lauren. Relish the falling out with MIL and DP as you are fully in the RIGHT!

Well, I've had a nice day (after forcing mrJ to go to Tesco last night to get my card. Guess I"ll be starting one of those threads in a few years... ). Apparently there are flowers coming from Moonpig. We don't recommend!

Sounds like some lovely gifts from the little ones have been handed out!

Not a wonder week zyla, growth spurt maybe.. Etween 7-10 days. I was so confused at that one.. Didn't stop eating and wining!

So for all the expected things, growth spurts, wonder weeks..I should be going with her age if she was born in EDD, not her actual age?

I also got a charm today, for my bracelet...an amethyst one as Hs birthstone is amethyst, it's lovely :)

Oh ill definitely google wonder weeks thank you!

zyla I had the exact same talk with DP about leaving him. Every day for about 6 months! Clearly wasn't listening

It goes from their EDD not how old they are Zyla.

Lauren that is fucking disgusting. They went out for lunch and left you and Isaac alone in hospital? I'd have a job on forgiving him for that ever tbh.

Yeah apparently it's the gestation age. So mine will always be a week ahead than her actual birth date age. And when I look at it all, it is spot on, give or take a few days.

popz it just hasn't registered with him that its an unreasonable thing to do. He saw it as I didn't want him there because I wanted him with Isaac, and Isaac was okay in an incubator with all the doctors so he wasn't needed...ill never forget it but its something I need to move on from eventually as otherwise it would eat me up...they've took isaacs notes to write the discharge letter. This is looking good!

Sounds like he's coming home tonight lauren that's ace! :)

True Lauren. It's not so much the leaving - it's the going out for lunch to rub it in!! DH left about an hour after DS was born cos he had to take the dog to the dog sitters' haha He came straight back though.

Aw how exciting

Ooh fx for discharge Lauren.

Well at least it's easy for me to work out with no adjusting. I think the screaming may finally have stopped after four hours. Don't want to tempt fate though...
