Any one due in April

Ahh yes the loss of bending. I think i lost that about a month ago and was totally amazed that after having Caleb i could actually pick things up and not have to worry about getting DH or struggling if I dropped something on the floor. I am still amazed by the fact I have feet again.

lol about the cleaning urges. I didnt really get them much, I did want the house tidy but it was the night I finished all the sewing I was doing for Roo that I went into labour. I guess he was waiting to make sure I had all his stuff finished.

How are you going Jo, are you still haging in there or have we got another April baby?

I hope that Faraway had a good birth and her and baby are doing well.

lol its amazing howmuch we stretch, I was very suprised when I looked at Haleigh, it jsut looks impossible.
Sending labour vibes to you Jo so we can have a wittle bubby to hopefully cluck over at the meet up (if your up to coming).

I struggle to bend have done for a while, its horrible when Im carrying Haleigh to bed and then she drops ehr carebear or cuddly and screams cause she wants it so I have to somehow bend down holding her to pick it up, not easy lol jsut lucky Im no where near as clumsy this time round hehe.

Good luck for those of you still waiting to have bubs.

jandals and slippers are great inhospital to fro after ahving bubs, as i couldnt bend down after the birth either for a few days.
haleigh is my personal feet warmer lol she loves sitting on my feet when im on the couch watchign tele.

its annoying eh, i was getting havent you popped yet? from people in the shops in motueka everytime i saw them from 36wks.
so you could imagine how bad it got when i was over my scan EDD lol.

Oooo, my waters broke this morning! Nothing else happening yet...
But still if anyone rings me, I'm NOT in labour!! My m/w only counts labour from when it's "established labour" with so many contractions per 10 minutes etc, so I'm going with that so I don't have to feel like I'm lying!

Ooo yay! This is so exciting! Good luck littlejo. Hope things start progressing soon.

Good luck littlejo, I hope things are happening or have happened now
That's pretty scary, I think I am next in line

Hi everyone
I was induced last Sunday night and at 7.12 the next morning our little son Kaleb Bevan was born (8pounds). We came home from the hospital on Wednesday and had two hellish nights as I don't have enough milk for him. We are supplementing with formula at the moment but am really concerned I won't ever have enough as he is a really hungry little guy. His last feed this morning he took the breasts for 30min then about 80/90ml of expressed milk and another 20 of formula. Hard to hear m/w say not to worry about milk - I CAN get it out when I express (though still not much) but he can't be sucking anything when he's on me
He is a darling and I am coming to terms with having to give him formula as a top up (and overnight so I can express) as its the best thing for him. My DH is so supportive too...

Congratulations Faraway Glad to hear you and Kaleb are okay. My SIL was having trouble getting her newborn to b/f so she decided to switch to formula fully on day 2 and her little one is doing so much better than when they were both struggling and getting upset. I guess it comes down to finding out whatever works better for you. I hope everything settles down a bit for you soon.

congratulations
I had problems feeding once I got mastitis and expressed for 6wks but was so tired my milk supply got smaller and haleigh was hungry ALL the time so I never got sleep.
If you do decide to go to formula don't feel bad my girls thrived on it and the msot important thing is if you and your bubs are happy.
Its great your mans supportive, mine was a mess you'd think it was him doing all the work lol, but he was the one who said I had to start using formula as I jsut wasnt coping.
Good Luck with your new wee man
