Here's a picture of him chilling. Xx

Makes sense Amy, you.just deal with what you have and its easier than say losing a finger (seen lots of oil and gas people).
BN, when was his EDD? I think they adjust from EDD? How old would he be if he was full term? And then all babies are different.


Tapatalking so cant see signatures

He would be 12 weeks old by his adjusted date. X

I need some advice really worried about Ava!
So she has always been quite a sicky baby, but the last week or so its got worse, I stop and wind her 2/3 times And she is always sick, is this normal? Last 2 days she's had really loose nappys ( sorry tmi)
She is 4 months ff on SMA gold, I'm debating call nhs direct, for some reassurance if nothing else??
Any one help? X

 

[Nikkiportia]

Wow, i just want to say, twins are bloody hard work!
Trying to get them both on a nap schedule, which has been a surprising success so far, giving me more free time. This whole time i have been mistaking tiredness for hunger and putting them on the breast too much i think. Now they have decent nap times, they have stopped cluster feeding. However i now feel like most of my time is spent getting them to sleep! Putting them in the cot for the afternoon nap has helped so much though.
Think santiago is going through a leap before catalina, he has been soooo whingey for days now, i hope it ends soon.
Love to all other mummys and babies, hope everyone is well xxxxx

Hi ladies, hope you're all well. Trying to catch up on here is hard work after a few days away lol! I have a few of you on facebook so I do at least get to see lots of cute faces in my news feed

If anyone wants to add me, no pressure ofc lol! , then I am Tammy Large and my profile pic is



Just love seeing how our babies are getting on and I use Facebook more than this forum.

It's been, let's say, an "eventful" day. Kids are off school and we have had my partners 2 staying down here and we've kinda had a nightmare. 4 teenagers and a grumpy baby under one roof for 2 weeks has just been a big bag of stress and I can't wait for them to go home and mine to go back to school, restore some normality. Had a huge kick off about an hour ago between my oh and his son and I've really had enough now

I honestly think tomorrow I'm just gonna stay in bed all day with Scott and leave them to it or go out for the day, bloody teenagers! No wonder I'm grey lol

Better try and get some sleep I suppose, I managed about 4 hours last night and I'm so tired my eyes are burning. Nn ladies and babies, hope you all sleep well xxx

Hey pandabear, is Ava suffering with reflux?? I don't have any advice, but I know a few mummies here can probably help.

The odd loose nappy is fine, but if its consistent (and baby isn't on comfort milk - which changes stools considerably), then a call to NHS Direct is definitely acceptable! Good luck and please update us so we know little Ava is ok xxx

Nikki - you are superwoman!! I truly struggle some days with 1 bubba...not sure how I would cope with 2.

I cant get JJ into a daytime napping routine at all. I managed 1 x AM nap and 1 x PM nap for about 4 days...then he appeared to regress and pretty much refuses to nap in his cot at all during the day...he would prefer to lay awake yelling at me xx

Awww Tambo...hope you and Scott get some peace and quiet today xxx

 

[Jolly81]

Hey Tambo I'll add you - I'm Julia Dickson and Freddie is my profile piccie.

I've now lost 3st 7.5lb and am lighter than my pre preg weight!!! I did lose 1.5st before I even left hospital due to the birth and then the stress of the crash section.

Recovering physically has been great- was given all clear at 8 weeks to exercise so been getting back into the gym and swimming and even took Freddie swimming for the first time yesterday!!!

Emotionally the recovery from the crash section has been a little harder than i though. I'm fine, but every now and again the flash backs of him stopping moving in me are a bit overwhelming and it still terrifies me to think that the outcome could have been so different and every day i feel blessed I've had a couple of midwife counselling sessions which have been hard but very useful!!!!

Anyway, he's sleeping through every night now and is an absolute angel!! I really struggled in the first few weeks but as soon as we switched to the doc brown bottles he was a different baby!!!!

This weekend we're having a naming day garden party for him so I'm busy preparing for that!!!

Loving life as a mummy!!! I just don't get as much of a chance to get on here and chat!!!!

Oh, and Sophie-Jane- wedding plans are in full force, but my wedding dress is too big already and I have a long way to go with my weight loss!!! Eek!!!!

Love to all and your babies xxx

 

[Jolly81]

Oh, and when did everyone get their first period after delivery? I'm still waiting and it's been 11 weeks on Thursday!!!!

 

[Nikkiportia]

No period here yet at nearly 13 weeks, but am EBF twins so dont expect to see it for a while

 

[stargirl]

Hi, hope everyone is well...

Tambo, I really dont envy you, if I was you I'd hide in bed till September lol.

Brandnew, I wouldnt worry too much, I think jack being early might affect how quickly he learns new skills but saying that every child develops at their own rate anyway. Just do as much tummy time as you can and he'll soon strengthen his neck and head.
Jolly I haven't had a period yet, H is 12 weeks. I ebf though and about 4 weeks ago I had the implant fitted. I had a tiny bit of bloody discharge last week but nothing major.

Nikki I think you are super mum! I really struggle with H's sleeps during the day as he fights them something terrible!

H and I are having a pj day today . We had a busy day yesterday visiting work and tomorrow he has his second set of needles so we're chilling today. Ive just sorted all his clothes and pulled out all his 3-6month clothes , they fit him just nice now. Cant believe how quick he is growing

Hi chezza thanks for the reply. After I posted last nite I called nhs direct, at 9pm they called me back at 3am!!! I was so cross! The man I spoke to didnt have a clue he Cudnt have been a doctor,kept asking me the same questions and repeating him self. Took her to c gp this morning, he thinks its just a sickness bug, checked her all over and she is hydrated which is good.I'm not convinced :-/ every time I have look on line it suggests its reflux. If she is still being sick end of the week I'm going back. Waiting in a call back from hv to.

Hope every one else is ok xx

Evan has started being sick a lot and had loose nappies. He is ebf. He seems fine in himself other than grumpy. I would call the hv but I might as well bang my head against a brick wall!

 

[Chezza]

I didn't find NHS Direct very helpful a couple of weeks ago either...funnily enough, the lady on the end of the phone couldn't understand me! She kept asking questions about my health and I had to keep reminding her that my enquiry was for my little one and not me! Very frustrating.

I have completely lost faith in my HV now...have left 2 messages for her to call me over the last 2.5 weeks and she doesn't even bother returning my calls. I am getting JJ weighed next week at our local drop in centre, so will speak to someone there - they are much nicer and so helpful.

I am off to a brand new Kiddicare store opening on Saturday morning - so excited lol!! We are getting a nice big carseat for JJ (he has outgrown his travel system car seat already) - and I am going to pick up a few bits and pieces for Christmas for him too - as I got a 10% off voucher through the post - they are also giving away goodie bags on Saturday morning! I went to the store in Enfield a few weeks ago and was very impressed...looking forward to seeing the brand new store now! xxx

 

[brand new]

I had a lovely day today. We went for a picnic with some of the nurses and lots of the babies from the Scbu that jack was in. It was lovely. All the tiny babies r all growing up. Hope everyone's ok today xxx

 

[AmyQ]

I possibly have grumpy baby of the week. Feel like baby poo . He's started getting tired earlier so is now sleeping at 9 but still waking up for a night feed. I'm running on empty and dh is being less than helpful.

I also win bad mummy of the week as I was trying try dress Evan with him on my lap when he flung his head backwards and hit the wooden bed frame. I thought I was going to be sick. He was fine but I felt so shit.

Hope you ladies are having better days xx

 

[shell1978]

Aww Amy im with you i hit Rians head when we was on holiday i was in tears of course he was fine but my god did i feel awful.

Rian has been in his cot since we got bk from holiday and its going so well i dont want to tempt fate but we havent had a night feed in wks!! Last night he went 9pm to 7am i felt amazing!!!

He got weighed on monday and is now 11lbs 5oz cant believe how well hes doing.

Got his second set of jabs tommorow dreading it x

 

[Chezza]

Oh Amy and Shell, bless you both!! I'm so darned clumsy, I'm just waiting for me to clang JJ in some way!

JJ has gone back to sleeping through the night, so hopefully the 2 horrible nights last week were just a blip. He is so grumpy during the day though, nothing seems to please him sometimes! I had a nice big glass of wine tonight whilst DH took him for a couple of hours...just what I needed. Amy - it sounds like you need some fun or some proper relaxation time??

We are off to Dorset in 4 weeks for a holiday - very excited!! xx
