 Topic: Bingo has arrived
Posted: 08 December 2006 at 10:00pm |

Just to let everyone know that Fay Ann arrived in a big hurry at 6.50am yesterday morning, at 35 weeks, weighing 2.630kg after a 10 hours labour. She is fine, but in Neonates for a few more days as she is not feeding very well. I came home tonight and will go back when my milk comes in.
Will write more in the coming days, I am going to sleep while I get the chance
Thanks Claire, Neil and Fay

Thank you so much, finding things a bit overwhelming at the moment, nothing is ready for her, and no, I hadn't got round to packing, hadn't even bought a nightie.
Fay is doing well, she is latching on and making efforts to suckle but hasn't quite got yhe instincts to work out the suck and swallow bit yet, not that there is anyhtin to swallow. I am frustrated as i don't seem to be able to express anyhting, even colostrum so she is being tube fed with formula, I know it will take time, but I want to do it myself
Will do photos and stories when brain is less mashed
thank you all for you lovely words
Teresa, I'm sorry to leave you and Cherie in january, I tried to hang on, I was only joking about being over pregnant but I think Fay heard me

lol no probs Claire! And I guess you now know how long after your show to expect the baby (obviously not 7 weeks) 
Your milk may not come in until Fay can stimulate it with suckling. Don't worry about the formula though, I'm a bf mum but Hannah's first feed was formula (as I was still being stitched up from c/s) and she took to the breast just as easily when she was ready.
How long do you think she'll be in neonates for? Hope you get to have your little bubba at home soon.
Can someone please convert 2.630kg into lbs for me?  I think it must be about mid-6lb?

Congratulations, Claire. Hope she's home soon and that you're not too stressed about your milk coming in. Fay is such a pretty name... can't wait to see pics of your wee girl when you get the chance.
