Oh thank God your both alright, biggest hugs to my original bump buddy and her baby girl.

I'm sorry to hear the birth was so hard hun, I had rips and cuts with my DD, its traumatic, but try to let some air get to it when you can so it will all heal and eventually mentally and physically it will all fade.

Congratulations to you and your hubby and I hope parenthood is treating you well xxxxxx

Aww! CONGRATUALTIONS! She's beautiful. I really enjoyed reading your birth story

I'm sure that you'll bond with your little daughter in no time hun. It's a major event in your life and things take time to adjust. Especially when you're feeling very sore in the you know what. x

Thank you ALL. Big *hugs* to everyone here.

Without all your support I would of gone stark raving mad hehe.

Midwife just been and help me out with a few niggles but pleased with everything else. Hopefully she'll settle better once my milk comes in over the next day or 2.

Oh she also told me to try and express my other boob to get my nipple to pop out (tried to feed on that boob as it's quit full and sore) but nipple says no
So we'll try that tomorrow before it get's too sore and full

Hiya...Firstly, Congratulations...she is adorable and secondly, well done.....

I just wanted to say that I know from experience how sad it is to have a birth nothing like you expect and to not be in any position to have that initial Mum and baby moment.....it took me a while to bond with my daughter...but it does come in time. Don't try to rush it and don't think that you SHOULD be havign that unconditional love feeling for them straight away...yes some people do and they are very lucky. But you don't really know this little person yet...yes you knew your bump, but this is an entirely different matter (or that's how i felt). I was very traumatised by my birth and was ina lot of physical pain for a few weeks and if i am honest, i really only started to bond with Hannah once I started to feel better and i could look after her properly myself...

But now she is 11 months old tomorrow and she is my little partner in crime...she is amazing and we have a very lovely bond now and have done for some time...

But i just wanted to let you know that you are not alone with how you are feeling and please don't worry about it but do talk to poeple close to you about how you are feeling...

But again....Congratulations...she is such a cutie.....feel free to pm me if you want to ask me anything.

I left you a note in the Jan Mummy's thread, but just read your story and wanted to let you know I'd been through

She's beautiful and has nearly as much hair as my boy had at birth

I'm sorry you didn't get your home birth after all, but glad you accept that things happened in the best possible way... And how awesome must that mobile epi have been

I'm so happy Katie's finally here... I think most of the Jan Mums are, not in the least - yourself.

Congratulations (for about the fourth time all together)... Enjoy baby-hugs xx

A huge congrats PF, you really do deserve a medal with all that waiting and stuff! Glad baby Kaite made a safe arrival and your resting up and getting pampered! xxx

 

[PyscoFalcon]

Thank you all.
Katie is a right madame!

She won't latch and suckle and I don't have much milk
So been expressing and topping up with formula. Saw midwife today who said it's better than full formula but I still feel like a falior. Even expressing I only get half a feed but I suppose it's better than nothing.

Apart from that Katie hasn't lost much weight and is active/healthy enough. We go to get her birth registared on Monday and go to childcare group on Wednesday to meet the health visitor.

Can't beleive she's almost a week old!

Was going to say dont beat yourself up over it, my little man wouldnt latch on and didnt feed for the first 7hrs at the hospital so i gave him formula milk and now i express and mix it while i try to build up my supply. As long as hes feeding im ok with that and he is getting boobie milk so all is good. My midwife said to massage my boobs (like needing bread as she said) to help with production and make sure im getting as much out as i can. Ive found it helps to do it when im expressing as i get more out. Your doing a fab job!!
