...breastfeeding! I have not breasted eva at all today and my boobs are fine - not engorged or owt like that. So that is that. I have dried up. :roll: Eva seems more happier on the bottle. I am not as devastated as I thought I would be at stopping breastfeeding. It seems to have come...

..at all! We have spent all day the hospital. Eva has refused all drinks (boobs, EBM, formula, water, bottles and beakers). She screams if I try to feed her. She has been like this for 2/3 days now. Oddly she is happy to eat though and is generally well and happy apart from being dehydrated...

I'm increasingly worried that I am not feeding eva enough! She is starting to wake once in the small hours of the night for a feed arrrgh! On a typical day I would feed her: Breastfeed on waking (7-7.30) Breakfast at 9.30 - porridge (portion suitable for a 6 mth old according to the...

....blonde! :s she was born with the most gorgeous thick black hair and now it's all gone and replaced with a blonde fuzz! :D me and oh are both dark haired but were blonde for a short while as babies so hoping Eva will turn back dark again cos her eyes and complexion were striking with...

Helllppp! :-) I mentioned to my OH that I was planning on scrambling an egg with a bit of water to giveto Eva for her lunch today and he said that he thought that babies cannot have eggs till they are a year old? Ta muchly! X

After smugly posted that Eva is not a sicky baby I have now been corrected by fate :-( Eva is poorly. In the last two hours, she has projectile vomited all of her milk all over me and the sofa. She has slept pretty much solidly since 12pm apart from 2 attempts at feeding at 3pm and 4pm...

I have decided to try to properly mix feed Eva cos I cant cope with her demand feeding every hour in the evenings, not sleeping in the daytime and her getting so frustrated and crabby cos shes too tired to feed properly in the evening and my milk supply is very poor in the evenings. Its got...

I was talking to the health visitor last week about Eva clusterfeeding and wearing me out (nice lady by the way :-) ) and she said to me "I know that it feels like forever to you but Eva is only 4 weeks and still very new". Only this morning when feeding Eva, I suddenly realised what the HV...

Well..here I am...9 months after making my BFP annoucement! Feels weird typing this lol! On Monday 20th Dec, I had a sweep at the midwifes. Nothing seemed to happen so I went off to see a friend and ended up having a spicy dinner at hers. Went home at 8.30 that night and immediately felt ill...

Eva arrived at 3.47am on 22 dec! It was a pretty tough birth after 24 hrs labour. She weights 8lb 7oz and is beautiful! Just got home abt 1 hr ago. Will post birth story later as busy breastfeeding now! :-)

After my sweep this afternoon, I went to a friends house who fed me a rather spicy meal. Got home half hr ago and had diarrhoea and abt 10 mins ago was sick too. My tum feels so tight and heavy. Am I Reading too much into this or is this the start of things happening?

Just got back from midwife where I had a sweep. According to her my cervix is still posterior and 1 cm long. Can anyone tell me what this means? I have got the feeling that this does not bode well for me and I'll probably end up going in for induction which is booked for next Monday. Ta...

I'm desperate to get baby out now! Walking is out of the question due to pain when walking and icy paths. Sex is awkward. Don't like curry or pineapple. But I do have a rampant rabbit with a swirly end - is it safe to use? Will the swirly bit work like a sweep from the midwife...

Completely pointless thread!!! Today I can squeeze milk out of my nips! Just had to share! Especially since OH can't see what is the big deal about this particular phemenon! :-)

...and have spent the last 2 hrs bouncing on a ball in an attempt to get lil Dixie to turn round get her head down. She's always been transverse and lately breech I think. I can feel her head at the top of my bump. Anyhoo all this bouncing probably won't make the blindest bit of difference...

I have decided on Eva as a first name...really have decided finally! :s lol! Anyway I told OH to choose the middle name as I didn't really give him the choice of agreeing to Eva. He came up with Eva Blue - as a joke he says. Thing is, I love it! Goes nicely with our surnames too. Is it...

I cannot believe that today I am 30 weeks gone! Only 10 weeks to go before my little girl arrives! I think it's only just hit me now that I'm having a baby lol! Pointless thread I know, sorry! :-)

For the last week I've had a sore pubic bone that feels like I hav been kicked in the fuffle! Really uncomfortable and I find myself waddling to ease the pain and I'm not even 30 weeks gone yet :-( I am not seeing the midwife till next week and I wonder if anyone else has had this and what is...

I had a piercing in my belly button for 10 yrs - but took out the bar when I was 12 weeks gone. The hole was fine till now, even seemed to be getting smaller and healing over. But snce yesterday it's been inflamed looking, red round the edges. I think the skin is stretching and it's sore to...

I posted a while back that if i'm having a girl, she definitely was goingto be called Libby Rose. I hadn't reckoned on the "irrational" hormones and decorating! Lol! We painted the kitchen a few weeks back and the colour we chose was Willow. I saw it and thought "ooh that's nice!" What do...
