"Tonight mammy I propose only sleeping if it on your chest and you are uprigrht....you don't actually need sleep do you???"
Direct quore from baby!
Mine would love that too but I'm too nervous of him falling or something. Contemplated moving into spare bedroom to have enough space in the bed to do it more safely.
Trying to feed him more didn't go too well tonight, he threw up all over himself and me at 4am
Such a waste of so much breast milk!! So I'm going to feed him until I think he's done and then try more often rather than larger quantities.
He just sneezed all over me mid feed, the gross things you let your children do to you and think it's cute

Lads these compression stockings are killing me. They're so hot, too hot in this weather, and I have to wear leggings or jeans and runners or boots to cover them, no flats or skirts And I only have one pair, so they need to be washed all the fecking time, and put back on asap. 4 more weeks of this *sobs* 0

My waters broke last night, so I've been in hospital since 3am. But no contractions yet. They're giving me until 9pm tonight to start them naturally but I'll be induced then if they haven't. We're so excited, but it's going to be a long day I think.....
Ah that's brilliant are you getting any aches? Did the hospital tell you to go in when your waters broke? Hopefully you go quick amazing to think when you leave the hospital it will be with your baby 0 -

Fingers crossed for you, I'm getting mine checked tues in my doctors so I'm hoping labetalol has it downspottybananas wrote: »Today it was 116/78, he said it needs to be consistently under 80, the good readings since I came off the labetalol (300mg x 3 times a day) and am just on Adelat (20mg once a day) have been 70-80, the "bad" readings have been between 84 and 100. Nothing I can really do about it only observe it for him. But so far it doesn't seem to have shot back up after coming off the labetalol, I tentatively have my fingers crossed...
did you stay on it until after your little boy was born? 0 -

Yeah, I was on it a week before he was born, then I was on it 2 weeks after. For the last week I was on Adalat once then twice a day too. The consultant wanted me off labetalol for a few reasons, it's used because it's safe to use with pregnant women but afterwards there are other drugs they can use safely, and apparently it's linked to PND. It's common to be on labetalol for up to 8-10 weeks after birth from what I've heard from PHN and other sources. In the hospital I was in they were acting like I was the first person in history whose bp didn't stabilise immediately after the baby was born :mad:0 -

Scary it's linked to pnd I have a family member who suffered badly with it so I'll be on the watch for my hormones and baby blues 0 -

I've went to the gp and they reckoned that she hasnt got reflux because she s not cross or vomiting all the time... I'm going to get the gaviscon tomorrow and see if this helps. We changed bottles to the nuk ones and are also using an easy digest formula, wind her after every ounce, and it helps sometimes, more often than not, it doesnt. We end up re feeding her alot.... she doesnt really fuss on the bottle much, I personally think it's an issue with wind, but I'm just not sure whats going on really....ðŸ˜
My daughter has silent reflux where she only puked one bottle a day. Most silent reflux they don't puke at all. Does her breath smell? That's a big indicator of reflux. I used to wind after every ounce thinking it was helping but it was making things worse! Try just winding once half way through the bottle as this made a big difference for us. Do it on a tiled floor though
we used infacol and felt it really helped. She's 13 weeks now, off infacol and I don't need to wind her at all anymore! It goes so fast! 0 -

We're doing good here, 3 weeks old yesterday and today is his due date! He's feeding a lot, every 1-1.5hrs last night, tired mommy today! Hoping he'll be back to his birth weight when phn weighs him or they'll make me give him formula
As for me my bp is going in the right direction, hitting normal sometimes, high other times but on average its just above normal now, a few digits away. BUT, due to a prescription problem I currently havent had any meds since Sunday morning while I'm waiting for a new prescription, and my bp was well within normal today Hope it's sorted soon!
Hope everyone else is doing well.0 -

Oh I'm still getting readings of 90-100 the odd time, but he said the odd spike is fine, comes with being busy. But usually it's 83-89, with occasional lovely 70-75's thrown in I'm still on one med for 6 weeks (well that's the prescription I have ) but am really hoping the 24hr bp monitor goes well and I won't need the last 3 weeks. Hope yours sorts itself out soon too. 0 -

Ah Baby4 hope you get home soon, I only spent 3 day in hospital & I was going spare!!
Babs has her first cold, she's really stuffed up:(
Luckily she's still in good form & slept well last night, just horrible hearing her so congested 0 -
Oh Baby4 you have my utmost sympathy, I spent a week in there before I had him and a week after, it's rotten Hopefully you get out soon, it makes such a difference to get home! And they keep telling you to "sleep, rest", good luck with everything going on all night long and no home comforts! 0

So my wife and I were in Rotunda yesterday for induction, set up in bed and on monitor etc, only for the consultant to tell us that he didn't agree with her dates (41 weeks* according to her last 5 visits to Semi Private clinic), he reckoned she was only 40 weeks and wasn't happy to induce. So after explaining all the pros and (mostly) cons, and scanning to make sure everything was fine with baby, she was sent home to come back next week!
I was frustrated, we planned the week on the basis that she was in for a few days, organised the other 3 kids for school etc, I took off work. But the mental torture for her having gotten in the "I'm having my baby today" mode is the worst... :mad:
Anyway, the right medical decision was to wait, so that's what matters. I will just keep doing my job, and making sure she doesn't go round the bend!
* She has irregular cycles, and was measuring big every scan, so they moved her up a week, but Doc yesterday was only going on 12 week scan as it's most accurate...0 -

Oh my god, I know it's in the best interest of baby and mammy but if that was me after mentally getting myself in the zone that I was going in and telling other children I would be gutted 0 -

Well they were delighted to see her, thought she'd be gone for a few nights.
So we just explained that the doctor said that Baby wasn't ready! :rolleyes:0 -

That's crap Dickerty
My fecking bp is acting up again. I'm back on one med after 2 days off it, and my bp is higher now in the afternoon/evenings than it was on the days I didn't have it, back up to the 90's for the first reading, then it goes back to the 80's for any further readings just after. I have 24 hour bp monitor in 2 weeks, dreading it looking at these results as it nearly always seems to be up other than when I take the meds in the morning. Feel like I'm going backwards It doesn't help that I'm getting very little sleep with himself up at night, but I mean of all times to be told to rest and sleep, when I've a newborn! 0 -

What dose of labetalol are you on now? Are you only on that? Sorry for being nosy Your doctor knows so much more than my consultant, I've been told nothing reassuring like the 6 week thing or anything, just that it should be down by now
I was talking to someone recently who had a baby 2 years ago and had high bp, hers has never gone down, she has to get 24 hour monitor every month and has been told she can't conceive again until they sort it, but she's 40 now. That's such an extreme case, it made me feel much better about mine...I know that makes me sound mean 0 -

Babs is doing good, eating like a horse & growing like a weed
She doesn't do much sleeping during the day though which is tiring & wants to live in your arms but she does sleep well at night with just one wake up for a feed.
Can't believe she's a month old on Sunday :eek:
3 year old is still adjusting to his baby sister, hoping that will settle down soon.
I'm still having to attend physio for the tear I got giving birth but feeling more like myself everyday, lost 1.2litres of blood having babs too so that took awhile to bounce back from also.
That's all my news, how's everyone else?0 -
We're doing alright, baby is putting on weight and spending more time awake and being cute, a month old today! Wakes about 3 times at night and can be tough to get to sleep after a feed but thats what Daddy is for :P He has bad windy nappies so likes being held when it's happening, my stretchy wrap is a lifesaver or I'd get nothing done.
Breastfeeding is going great, apparently it's impressive that it worked out given the section/preemie/special care with some formula feeds early on
Bp still up but coming down, but now they found I have high cholesterol! Ironic considering it turns out I put on about 6lbs of weight during pregnancy that wasn't baby or fluid. 24 hour bp monitor next week eep. Husband is working a lot which is a pain, not seeing much of us other than bedtime.0 -
