November 2007 Mummies!!

Yes we are here! (Emma, can you please sticky this?!)

Everything is going well so far with Luke and I. He is feeding really well, sleeping and loves chilling out with his Daddy. I am really tired, but getting better day by day.

Here is a pic, I will post more later (after my nap - he is asleep, so I will be too)

I felt like he was in there for 17 mos, I bet

Cute photo!

ah what a cutie, I was wondering where the november babies were.

congrats...

and am sure Emma or Katherine can fix it for you...

Well all my photos are in the pregnancy forum so I won't clog this up too much! Here are 2 pics ....





Her cord stump came off yesterday which I thought was pretty quick but it all looks good.

Milk is coming in like nobody's business since yesterday, its hard and sore but I don't think it's any worse than when my breasts went up a size in pregnancy. She throws a bit of a wobbly sometimes before latching but we have taken her to the osteopath and so far so good, she is going back again on Thursday. Midwife wondered if something was up with her neck as she sometimes doesn't like feeding lying on her left side and she favours turning her head to the right. Plus she got a little stuck up her her eyebrows being born and there's something a little out there that the osteopath is working on too.

Since coming back from the first treatment she has now been asleep for 3 and a half hours so better go wake her up so she's not up all night!

Have stickied and changed the title so people don't think you all have ESP and already know you're going to be giving birth a year from now.

Congrats ladies. Its cool to see a newborn again. Amazing how fast they change.

Bel, as for the feeling of pressure down there it could be due to weak pelvic floor. I had that and my MW said I had a possible prolapsed uterus (felt like things were fallin out). Anyway her advise was heaps of pelvic floor exercise and be patient. 6 weeks is the magic mark when you really do start to feel a lot better if you havent before and by 8 weeks I felt pretty much normal but I still find I get that pressure feeling if I have held on too long before peeing and then as I pee it feels heavy....so more pelvic floor exercises for me!!!!

If it feels better sitting then sit!

Thanks for that NZpiper/cuppatea. That could be what it is - I have been trying to remember to do the exercises - feeding time is probably a good idea... I will try it!

I agree callalily! Sometimes you have to just let them grizzle, sometimes Ruby will wake up half an hour into her sleep and gives some cries but without too much gusto and then goes back to sleep (not making the mistake of rushing in and getting her up!).

I haven't been able to do the pelvic floor exercises til today because of my piles but now I can and must remind myself!

yey our Nov babies thread!

Here's a pic of Anyssa (already in preg page)



time to feed her now...
