I had to share this ladies! I didn't know where to put a quick AW baby update as I didn't put my labour story on my birth announcement! A month today my baby was born, induced on the 26th, born on the 27th. I had gas and air and my requested epidural failed, I could feel every contraction, they kept topping me up and then when they checked it, it turns out the epidural had come out and wasn't even in my back! There was talks of c section due to baby potentially getting in distressed, when they came to put me another epidural in I started to bare down and he said it was too late, baby was coming! I started to push and the doctor came in with forceps but I pushed and pushed and they weren't needed. Me and Jude stayed in hospital a week..Fast forward a month and here we are! He's doing great. How are all the mamas and babies doing?
Re: 1 month today! How are all the babies doing?
LO and I are doing great. I went into this pregnancy expecting problems as most women in my family have had issues and we have some congenital defect issues that run in the family. But to my delight my pregnancy has been uneventful and he has no signs of either defect!
Being a tad overweight to start with I expected to balloon up but luckily I didn't and haven't gained excessive weight!
I'm super excited to meet my little guy, in a little over 3 weeks! (As long as he doesn't get impatient.) I can't wait to spend the holidays with my new little family!!
Ruth is three weeks old now. She gave us a mini heart attack this weekend- stopped breathing, but then started back up on her own. Went to the children's ER, and found out that it's totally normal for premie babies to do this, as long as it's not more than 20 seconds not breathing! Really?! So scary!!
She was also baptized Sunday, this is her in her little gown. She's the 12th baby to wear it!
Big sister has been so sweet, and loves to give kisses and love to little sister
Ruth is seriously too cute in that gown, what a gorgeous little girl!!!
Actually come to think of it, when Jude was on neonates ward for the first couple of days he was put on a monitor that would sound if he didn't breathe for over 20 seconds, luckily it never went off because that would scare the living crap out of me, but again he was an early baby so that would've been why. Ooh scary times, pleased she is ok.
Can't wait for more updates as we actually approach November! C'mon Nov '15 babies!!
I love being a mum and I miss him when he's sleeping. My BFF's husband is a photographer and took pictures of him, here he is at 9 days old.
I'm just so in love with this little boy. My husband has been so amazing caring for me after my unexpected c-section. He has also listened very attentively at all the lactation consultant meetings and has helped me so much by making sure we're getting a good latch. He has just been so amazing.
She was born at 36 weeks- 2 days, no warning at all and for no reason at all- I think she was just bored in there. We have latching issues, going to a breast feeding support group weekly and pumping away- fingers crossed as she gets closer to her actual due date (November 18th) she gets more control over her face muscles and doesn't struggle to latch so much. As it is pumping, pumping away- she is up to 6 pounds 1 ounce after being born at 5 pounds 12 ounces which we are thrilled about! I love hearing updates from November moms- lurking on the October board just isn't the same!
Here are some pictures of our Betsy B
Hazel has had a couple of incidents that she stopped breathing and scared the crap out of me. Now she wears the Owlet. Best $250 spent!
Here is a picture big sister took while they played dress up last weekend.
I must say that all you N'15 mummies have beautiful babies.
@JLW0504 so glad to hear that Maddie is doing well. After all you went through its a joy to hear.
I would love to add a pic but gues TB is being stupid and I dont have that option right now >:(
