Hah..i usually i can not wqit to jump to the next trimester...but can not say that is the case this time...theres a bit of pain to go through before i can join! Scarred!

Well done katiee
 
Honestly hun you can do it! I'd easily do it a 3rd time if I could! & if you worry about pain there's plenty of pain relief if needed :)
 
Can't wait til were all here at this point and can get this thread really going :)
 
Hello! I was a complete lurker on the November tri three thread but I'd like to be a bit more active now my baby's here :) She's called Anna born on 12/11/14, 8lb7 at 40 + 3.
 
Lovely pic sprout and welcome and congratulations on your little bean. Xxx
 
Hi sprout! Glad ur no longer a Lurker! Congratulations :) xx
 
Hi ladies, could I join too?

My baby girl was born on 10th November weighing 6lbs 9oz at 37w 4 days.

I also have a question to all the mums that are breastfeeding, how were your little one's weight gain in the first 2 weeks? My daughter is still struggling to gain weight at 13 days pp and is still 9% down on her birth weight. The doctor yesterday told me this was normal and to monitor it but I've been reading up on things like Kellymum where it says they should have regained their birth weight by 14 days! I feed on demand but don't really let her go more than 2 hours without a feed. She seems to guzzle it! You'd think this being my second ebf child I wouldn't be as stressed, but I am!

Sorry for the long post!
 
Hi Goat and congratulations!

I won't be much help as my little porker was back over her birth weight at 9 days but don't get too stressed if your doctor doesn't seem concerned :) She is only just 2 weeks as well.

I'm sure you know what your doing with the bfing but have you had anyone check your latch? Just in case she's not getting quite as good a feed as she could be?

Hope that doesn't come across as patronising, just thought it might be worth mentioning!
 
Thanks Sprout! And not patronizing at all! Latch all seems fine though as the midwife checked it and it does sound like she's getting a good amount when she drinks. She's had a cold the past two days so I'm thinking her body must be using the milk to recover too, slowing down the gain. Who knows! My eldest had problems with weight gain and I had to resort to top ups until she regained her weight but she'd been in nicu and lost 12% within a day of being released. The HV is coming tomorrow so I guess we'll discuss it all then. Once I see the weight increase I'll feel much better! Thanks again hun!xx
 
Hey goat congratulations :)

Yes I was told they give 2 weeks for babies to reach birth weight again after their loss.
When baby comes off the breast do you offer the same one when they go back on? Maybe you're alternating breasts too frequently and baby isn't getting the "hind" milk or fatty milk from the end of the feed?!
 
Good news is the HV came today and weighed her and she's surpassed her birth weight. She was baffled as to how she could've put on 500g/10oz in 2 days so got her spare set of scales out and it showed the increased weight. So the scales in a&e must have been wrong! Either way I'm so happy that she's now over her birth weight!!

Thanks for the tips Kaa! I was doing that and also block feeding, her poos are getting bigger and are the nice mustard colour, she's a very settled baby in general. I just couldn't work out where it was going wrong. Luckily it's going right!
X
 
Ah so it wasn't going wrong at all! Have u reported the scales maybe they've not realised they need fixing!

Great news that she's doing so well. Bfing is hard not knowing how much they get isn't it :-/

Hoping for another good night tonight. We only woke at 2 and 6 for a feed this morning so hoping for the same tonight. Fingers and toes crossed. She's doing a huge feed at min though been back on twice maybe three times. Please don't let this be another cluster night :(
 
That's an amazing night! How did she do last night? How old is your lo? I remember the cluster feeding peaked for my eldest when she was around 6 weeks and it coincided with an almighty growth spurt. She would be feeding from 5pm-10pm and she wasn't just continuously feeding, she'd be latching on and off and sucking and getting frustrated as though there wasn't enough milk to satisfy her. It lasted a good week and after that each feed was so much quicker - went from taking her about an hour for a feed to lasting about 5mins. My boobs felt normal again and didn't turn into boulders if I hadn't fed her for a few hours. Also she fell into a more normal routine and things became so much easier.
So if it's this growth spurt you're approaching, hang in there as it will get so much better after.

As for the scales in a&e the HV was planning on letting them know. In fact she seemed very keen on letting them know their error!!
 
Last night wasn't as good. Woke at 2 fine but then woke at 4:45 ish but only got her back down at 6ish if that early!
On days hubby working I make a nest next to me on the bed with pillows and pop her in the middle after her early morning feed as he leaves at half 5 for work. I get a much better rest as I'm not far away so if she is sick from reflux or starts whinging I am right there to check or comfort her rather than me getting up to just go over and peer over the crib haha.

She is 6 weeks old as of Sunday but adjusted age means she be 2 weeks tomorrow as she was born at 35+4.
Yes I think we definitely had an episode of cluster feeding recently but not sure if this is over now I hope so. Up all night feeding and whinging and completely unsettled but could have just been wind or reflux I suppose :-/

Just in doctor waiting room now because got our post natal check up.

Love my health visitor. She sorted everything for me she's great I think yours will be good like that too x
 
Ohhh I forgot we had a thread in here now! :) just the last few babies to be born now. Cannot believe its December on Monday!

I have my health visitor coming for the first time tomorrow, I hope she's nice.

I feel like I'm going to have a terrible night tonight, normally I've had at least an hour or 2s sleep by now but tonight so far I've had nothing :(
 
Have u managed some sleep yet? What's keeping u up? Jake or just u can't sleep?? That's the worst when baby settled and u just can't relax and feel wide awake. :-/
 
Ive had 2 hours. Jake and OH have had none though. He's just been screaming for no reason. Feeding him now in the hope that'll knock him out.
 
Bette than nothing I suppose. Oh dear wonder what's the matter. Bet he is over tired. Faith has started a new habit. She fights sleep. So I get the whinging and squirming and crying but it's because she's tired so I wrap her up tight and rock her to sleep. It often takes a while but she will drift off eventually and then I can put her in the crib.
