I've been checking in here for your news Salz!
Glad everything got sorted for you, hope you are settling in well at home... Bring on many a halloween themed birthday party! xx

P.S. how did you find the MW's up the hospital? Of the 6 babies I know only 1 had a good experience at the hospital which is a real shame!

A couple I had were nice enough, although because I was under obstetrics and baby was under the special care baby unit team I didnt have a lot to do with them. When you have a baby in the SCBU the nurses there help you with breast feeding.
I think you have to make sure you ask for what you need whether it be for pain relief, or help with breast feeding or settling baby. They dont tend to be pro active in their care. One MW I had was really good though.

Right have been on here so many times to post this, but babies take up a tonne of time

Lucan was born on the 09th of November, at 2.06am weighing in at 8lb, 49cm tall - in the birthing pool at home!

All went pretty smoothly, labour was 7.5hours long, including 1hr of pushing. Poor hubby struggled to keep up with my need for HEAVY lower back massage in between setting everything up... once our mate arrived she took over.

So far the days are turning into a blur! but it can only get better aye

Things have been REALLY up and down, he's not easy to wind, so has lots of tummy pain, and spends hours crying or comfort suckling on me. Had a panic last night that maybe I'm not supplying him with enough milk and gave him a Formula feed but I expressed before we fed him for the rest of the night & I am producing 40ml every 2.5hours which isn't as bad as we thought it was.... so this morning I gave in and tried the dummy - he went down like a troper.

Nothing can ever prepare you for the ups and downs - and its even worse when DH can settle Lucan in for sleeps and he wont with me (though DH keeps saying you try sleeping a toddler in a lolly shop!)

Mum will be here next week which I cannot wait for - she's the worlds best cook, and LOVES ironing! They are pretty stoked with their first grandson so I'm sure Lucan will be well mauled hehe

Right off to catch a few winks before he wakes.... again!

Hi Guys,

I havent posted in here since I found out I was pregnant but thought I would pop in and say hi.

We had our wee man on the 12th at 6.26pm, weighing 10pound 7! His name is Max Henry. Labour was awesome, only 3.5hours and 10mins of pushing. Had a massive bleed afterwards but that is all over now and we are home and trying to muddle our way through!!

It is funny that this is baby number 2 and I thought I would be way more confident in knowing that the first few weeks are awful but do past but I still feel like a deer in the headlights and there have been a few tears! Haha. I guess you get used to a toddler who feeds themselves and goes to sleep all night and forget its completly normal for a 1 week old to feed all night!!

Ah well, one day at a time!

I look forward to getting to know some of you, not sure if there is a facebook page too or not but would be keen to join that.

:-)

Thanks for the congrats guys - of course I remember you all

Things are starting to get better here, Managing to do nights on my own - which is good because DH has gone back to work but Mum is here this week which is just like a dream. She even cooks tea, and holds Lucan while DH & I inhale!
Next week will be my first on my own with him, hope things will go well, though he'll be 3 weeks old by then and he seems to get more settled every day.
