Abi that is horrible news, I cannot imagine..

I have a friend coming to visit today who has had 2 recent losses and i'm a little nervous actually as I hope she doesn't get sad

My girl was so well behaved last night - midnight, 3 and 5:30 settling well in between! So thankful as I was up from 10-4 solid last night Breastfeeding is going well, a little nipple pain as I expected with having such awkward boobs it's a real trial getting our latch right but she's only lost 6% at her 3 day check so frankly now that I know she's getting enough milk I don't care and am so proud of us!!!

Any top tips for engorgement? I don't want to pump lots as I don't want to end up with oversupply but my milk properly came in yesterday and OUCH! So sore.. latch is also getting harder as my areolas are rock solid!

Omg, ever since I haven't been sleeping much I've been using the time to clean my house. I can't stand a dirty house. I don't know how I'm going to fare once I'm further along. I'm hoping I'll still be able to keep my house clean throughout this pregnancy without complications... I really am hoping. However, I have heard during the second tri it's much easier though then the first tri and the third tri. I guess I'll find out.

LOL Yeah I did nothing but sleep for the first trimester, second trimester was much better then third trimester I was too tired, big and back was hurting too much to do much of anything. I usually like things neat but I haven't had the energy to care now. LOL.

Oh Abi that is too sad! I don't even want to think about something like that. That poor lady.

Robbda, your crazy ex story is even worse than mine. What is it with these people? Why can't they move on with their lives?

So, I definitely have pre-eclampsia. Will be monitored closely but if blood pressure stays where it is and nothing shows up in my blood tests I get to go home tomorrow. Yay! Bored out of my mind.
Unfortunately it turns out the babies are on the small side, so there will be extra checks for them as well. The combination with possibly having to deliver them early due to the pre-eclampsia means several appointments a week now.
Still don't know if I can go to Sweden. Doctor wasn't too worried about the flight itself, but it was clear he wasn't happy about the prospect of me spending a few days in limbo between different healthcare systems. Will try to call my Swedish hospital tomorrow, if I can pre-arrange appointments there, I hope it will go smoothly.
My whole family is panicking and there's no talking sense to them. They're convinced babies are coming tomorrow and social services will immediately take them away.
Really wanna go home and relax a bit so I can think this over properly, talk with my husband.

Oh no I'm sorry about the pre eclampsia that sucks. How much longer will they have you carry them for? I hope you can keep them in for as long as possible!
Why will social services take babies? I've missed everything with only just joining the threads recently. Hope you can fly and all goes smoothly xxx

As it looks now, my pre-eclampsia isn't so bad. Unless it escalates, they won't have to deliver them early, it's just that it's the only known cure. So until I get really sick, they will monitor me closely and try to keep my blood pressure down.

And as for social services, this is where the crazy ex comes in. Her younger sister has accused my husband of touching her sexually when she was fourteen. This accusation was first brought up two years ago, at which point even crazy ex didn't believe it. My husband broke up with his crazy ex and got together with me. She tried splitting us up and failed. So she stopped him seeing their children. He went to mediation to get contact. She then brought up the accusations from the sister (about nine months after hearing them) and reported it to the police. So there's a court case. There are no evidence, younger sister hasn't been to any healthcare professional when it's supposed to have happened, our brought it up with school or anything. She is supposed to have told her mother, who decided to do nothing, not even tell her older daughter who had children with the guy in question. Instead, everything is brought up a year later, but still not brought to the police until my husband tries to see his children. The trial is in December and our solicitor is very confident and positive and says that unfortunately, these cases are very common.
But the social services have decided my husband is a risk to our babies and have put a child protection plan in action. And it seems unlikely I will be able to get through that entire plan and be properly assessed as to my ability to protect my children from their father. So that's why they might take them away.
To me the whole thing is completely bisarre, as at this point, he should still be considered innocent. But we asked about that, and they said not in their opinion. They also said that they might not care if the court decides he's innocent.

Please don't judge until you know the facts cos there are a lot of lies here being told and I'm not the crazy ex she is saying just she's been told a lot of lies and his mother will never set her straight. I just wanted to get it off my chest as she doesn't even know me at all. Never met me either apart from when I saw them in Starbucks but that was more anger than anything.

Laura you are doing brilliantly considering your pregnancy was a surprise and then it was a shock about twins! I can’t really complain as I wanted this for years and even wished for twins!

That’s so sad Abi. Does make you so grateful yours are ok. You did a lot in an hour!!

Sore nipple today, one of them must have been chomping, ouch! Can you get nipple shields in Asda?

Sprout, I keep meaning to ask, how do you avoid babies weeing on your fabrics if you photograph them with their nappies off?!

Haha, I actually usually do client photos in a nappy and cute nappy cover, like this:

But wanted to try out some nakey ones with Camille! He didn't wee or poo thankfully, although he has weed on me about a million times since ha.

Also, hello! I've been keeping up with the forum but generally only have one arm to use these days so apologies about my lack of posts! We're all doing really well and my brother's baby has been born now so it's been lovely spending time with them lately. Their baby was 6lb9 (Camille was 9lb13) and the difference between them is so funny. Camille is in 0-3 month clothes already and above any of the centile lines for length too...can't stop wondering how the hell he fit in my belly a few weeks ago!

Lovely to hear that we have all the babies now! Hope everyone's doing well

For engorgement when milk coming in, I used hot flannels and slept with boobs out. It eased within 24-48 hours.

My blocked ducts have not improved after all. They are still really plugged and lumpy, there are also golf ball sized lumps deep down on each boob so I'm getting kind of worried about abscess and mastitis. I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow.. I'm not getting much milk out of them now either because of them being so blocked up. Feeling pretty fed up that after all my hard work to try and build enough supply for these two, this has happened and now I'm getting so little milk and in a lot of pain feeling a bit sorry for myself.

Sprout those nappy covers are really cute! I just swaddled mine for their newborn pics so I didn't have to worry about toilet issues xxx

Defo see the doctors about it so if it is mastitis you can get it sorted asap.
Sounds painful xx

Not a crazy ex but has stalled through hundreds of messages on a random forum to find ones about her ......... Awkward.


Warm showers Kate and a really come feeding top - no bra just breast pads. Oh and lots of chocolate

Laura be careful, mastitis usually needs antibiotics and I'd hate for you to get poorly! But well done OH for helping!

Oh that is so adorable Sprout! I love those diaper covers! It looks like some of the cloth diapers I use for T.J. His little toes are so cute!

Oh my goodness Laura that sounds awful! I hope everything is okay, I didn't even know that could happen.

 

[KateK]

Oh Laura i'm so sorry after all your hard work Hope you manage to soeak to someone today who knows what they're talking about.. woukd it be worth calling a breastfeeding support line as well as doctor for some more specialised advice? It's so scary feeling so out of control of your body.. Hope you're feeling much better by the end of the day xx

 

[KateK]

What I was thinking Abi - must have taken bloody ages to find those few posts! Thanks all for engorgement advice.. no bra sounds like bliss!

 

[Dipsylala]

But none of you know me but are quick to judge with what she said. Call me crazy but at the time there where a court case and found these during court as we weren't allowed to discuss anything. Social services just don't take children unless they have too.
There are a lot involved with what happened but you just shouldn't judge. Yeah I was hurt due to being heavily pregnant when they did what they did. But that's by the by and I didn't have to look very hard.

 

[Blueflower]

So cute Sprout! It is so hard to post with one hand or often no hands if I am keeping them both latched!
Nipple shield worked thank you! It actually kept them on longer too!
Yes warm flannels and drink plenty. I read that the baby can suck the lumps out which can be like sand or spaghetti but doesn't bother them, yuck!

So pleased they worked!! It's a faff sometimes but worth it if it gets them feeding xxxxx

Has anyone had experiences of growth spurts she had a very bad night being fuzzy and straining whilst feeding and today she's sleeping lots and not having much milk I don't know whether to wake her for feeds or let her sleep she's 3 week tomorrow
