@lovebeingmum9 thank you sweetie 💖❤️

@jadey1991 great news that x-ray didn't show up anything worrying and that swelling and discolouration have gone down but I imagine it's very frustrating having no answers and not being able to go home. Hopefully tomorrow will give you a bit more of an idea x

Hope everyone had a lovely new year, we normally go to a family party but just stayed at home with the little ones! Couldn’t resist sharing another photo, I know I’m biased but think these two are absolutely gorgeous 🥰 massive congratulations to those that have also now given birth and to those still waiting, hope you get to meet your little one soon!

@PheebsJ that's adorable how they're linking arms 😍 I bet life with twins is a whole new ball game!

@PheebsJ aww look at them both. They are linking arms.. 🥺🥺that is so adorable. What isit like having twins? How r u feeding them?

Hey ladies sorry I vanished for a week or so. I need to read back and catch up with you all but wanted to let you know that my little boy Matthew arrived on the 27th December 💙

I was booked for an induction at 4pm on the 26th December. They popped a gel pessary in at 6pm and then my husband had to leave me overnight when visiting ended at 8pm. Was expecting a long boring night but by 8.30 I started feeling really quite sore and noticed I was leaking green waters. I had some paracetamol and used my TENS machine and the midwives said it will be sore and just to ask if I needed a stronger painkiller. By midnight it was unbearable and I was demanding to be examined and wanted an epidural immediately as there was no gaps between contractions it was constant unbearable pain 😅 they examined me and said I was 5cm! Quickly wheeled up to the labour suite while I spilled a large amount of meconium waters all along the the corridor and down my legs 😂 very undignified. My husband got in for 1am and that was me on gas and air until 5.24am when I finally pushed him out. It all seemed to go perfectly until half an hour later they said my placenta wasn't coming and I'd need to go to theatre immediately as I was also loosing too much blood (1700ml). Husband was left with the little guy for an hour while I had 2 blood transfusions and the placenta removed 😬

Unfortunately my iron levels continued to drop in the coming days and so they kept me in hospital until the 31st and they ended up having to give me more 2 more units of blood transfusions - not a nice start to life with baby! But I'm so glad he's safely here.

@Theawkwardblonde can't wait for your little one to arrive so we all have our babies

@2020mission - wow that started so lovely and then took a turn didn't it! So glad you are ok now! Look how alert he is 😍 beautiful! Xx

@2020mission was wondering if you had the little one! Sorry it was a longer stay than expected but so glad little one is here and you're both okay!

No further updates from me ladies..still no signs. Have a fourth sweep in the morning then it's induction this week.

@2020mission congratulations, he's gorgeous! Sounds like it was a bit of an ordeal in the end but good that he's here safe and sound. I had a retained placenta with my first born which I had to have removed in theatre and haemorrhaged with my second when the placenta came out naturally so know what it's like to have placenta issues!x

Good morning everyone so lovely to be able to reconnect so the awkward blonde are you seriously last one? I think you deserve a prize actually no a medal! Your sleepless nites haven’t started yet so enjoy these last few days left you still have this week. Im hoping to go home today - all tests on me & Jack look good with the exception they could only find hearing in his right ear so have to be retested again today. All I know is we will love him unconditionally regardless 💙

@2020mission omg😱 Matthew is one adorable baby. Look at him. Love his eyes. Congratulations hun. Sorry that it wasn't a north you expected. But I'm glad you and baby are all well. Bet you husband is excited❤️ @Theawkwardblonde anything changed yet hun

@JW2021 Josiah needs to gave his left ear retested again. At birth he failed it. They said because the ear canal could be wet. So waiting for an appointment

Just updating you all. We can go home today. Still don't know what the cause of his stomach is but whilst watching Josiah over the couple days I told the nurse I think he has silent acid reflux: so they will start him on meds today x

@2020mission congratulations baby boy is gorgeous. Lovely big eyes he has.
@JW2021 my baby still hasn't had hers done yet, I have to take her next week to be checked. Dont worry too much about it, like @jadey1991 said could be water in the ear or anything. Hopefully yours and @jadey1991 baby will be fine when they get the retest.
@jadey1991 so you had to tell the nurse what you think is wrong rather than them telling you?? 🤦🏽‍♀️

@JW2021 aw sorry it didn't go as planned hun....must have been a pretty scary time for you and your partner! Glad for the happy outcome though and Mathew is beautiful 💙
@jadey1991 So glad your going home,hope things go smoothly from here on X

Also just wanted to say our 3rd had to go back to retake the hearing test and his 2nd time was fine as on the 1st test he must of still had fluids etc in his ear canal! One more day of having all our children home before our oldest 3 return to school tuesday! I'm a bit nervous about getting mobbed by broody mums on the school run haha but I've got a rain cover as extra protection for baby anyway 😆

I couldn't get up the school path when I took Dexter on school run before Christmas 😂 I was a bit unpopular with lots of my daughter's friends asking their mums if they could get a little brother or sister too 😆
@jadey1991 glad to hear you're getting to go home and hopefully the meds will help x

@Curlymam88 yes I did hun, I had to tell them what I think it is as I was doing a lot of research about silent acid reflux and the symptoms my son was presenting was the same as the symptoms of an acid reflux baby.
Now I'm home with Josiah on meds for acid reflux

@lovebeingmum9 haha I feel the same as you hun. I know that once they see my face at the school everyone will be running over. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ and thanks hun

@burtle4 thanks hun x

@jadey1991 how's baby been doing on his medication? Hope medication has started to work for him.

@Curlymam88 hey hun, didn't get notification... well it's only been day 2 haven't really seen much of a difference to be honest. I suppose I've just gotta wait a few more days. Feels better to be home in our own surroundings. I noticed Josiah slept more in hospital then at home lol

@jadey1991 poor boy, hope medication starts working soon for him.
Thats strange aint it. I wonder why he would have slept more at hospital?

@Curlymam88 thanks hun. It's probs they had him on fluids and antibiotics..

Hey ladies! Feel like I just need to blurt something out 😂

As you know this is my first baby, it's only been 2 weeks since I got out of hospital and I think considering what I went through and how ill I was I'm recovering really well. I'm able to do everything in moderation.

HOWEVER I'm really struggling with just letting things go, I've always been super house proud. My husband is always telling me to just rest and take things slow and I know he's right.

He went back to work yesterday and works long hours. I'm finding it hard to balance things, Jack obviously comes first and he's a happy content baby but when he sleeps I just want to clean the house but I know my body isn't there yet. I over did it yesterday and made my scar hurt so today I am trying to chill.

So far today me and Jack have chilled out, tied the bedroom and cleaned the bathroom and sorted all his bottles but I'm now sat resting but thinking I have so much to do. It's so silly but I have so much guilt over it! My house is still really clean but it's not my normal standard and I hate it!!

Someone give my head a wobble and tell me the house can wait! 😂

Anyone have advice how to just switch off?

@LouLou0505 oh hun I was and still am like that. My hubby goes back to work in a week and I know he is helping and cleaning but just not to my standard. I've been trying to do what I can do but unfortunately Josiah isn't sleeping well. So I'm stuck with him on my chest all day. However, you do need to relax as you had c-section so will take a while to heal properly.
Just enjoy chilling with Jack. Make the most of of. Xx
