It passed quickly though, I think she was down to just one night feeding by 8 weeks. I hope you get some sleep soon!</p> <p>We’re doing well, J is growing like crazy, she gained 3.5 lbs and 3 inches in a month. She’s bigger now than my first was at two months. :silly: She’s just started smiling which is so sweet. Thankfully she’s a great night sleeper, but like @MilPA: she doesn’t sleep during the day unless she’s held, so I wear her in the wrap a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2881330 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 13:09:11 +0000 MilPA 2881330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: currently trapped under my one month old napping! She’s growing just fine and had a good checkup yesterday. Sleeps about 5 hours then 4 at night but during the day... she seems to do better sleeping on me right now so I’m trying to just go with it for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2881303 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 10:05:24 +0000 lavender 2881303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is everyone doing? </p> <p>H will be 6 weeks on Sunday and is definitely either going through a growth spurt or a sleep regression (or probably both!). He is still a champion at sleeping all day but once its time for bed he is up every 1-2 hours. It's been like that for the past couple of days. Hopefully this past soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2878675 Thu, 28 Mar 2019 20:31:59 +0000 Aria 2878675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@EmmaNZ: Congrats!! I’m impressed you made it though without the epi. I hope you’re feeling better, the hemorrhage sounds scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2878363 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 06:34:13 +0000 pinkb 2878363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@EmmaNZ: oh my goodness! Congrats on the baby boy ❤️ Hope you start to feel better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2878353 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 02:33:03 +0000 EmmaNZ 2878353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aria: gorgeous!!</p> <p>Our sweet boy arrived this morning! The induction was super quick. Had prostin gel inserted at 5.30. Waters broke spontaneously at 9.15. contractions consistently picked up from there. Used the gas and air / moaning to work thru each one. By the time I asked for the epi it was too late ! Started pushing at 1am which was long hard work. Baby boy was born at 2.30. 3.9 kgs / 8 lb 6 oz. Had a second degree tear.</p> <p>After I was all stitched up had a scary hemorrhage and needed emergency surgery under GA . Feeling very tired, worn out and happy :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2878192 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 02:18:07 +0000 Aria 2878192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: Congrats!! She’s beautiful!</p> <p>We had our newborn photos done yesterday and the photographer sent us a couple sneak peeks. I’m so excited to get the rest of them! </p> [attach=4589/19/poypm8.600x400.2AC4E3A7-C12C-443A-917F-9B047F4AC869.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2878189 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 23:56:06 +0000 MilPA 2878189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: congratulations!

I got my first dose of oral Cytotec at 8 am and was 1 cm. At 12 I got a second dose. Checked at 2:30 and was only 3cm. So I had my water broken. Things picked up from there. At 5pm I was 6cm and got my epi shortly after. Checked again at 9pm and was at an 8-9. And out she flew at 9:21. it was one of those..um get the nurse I think she is coming and she was crowning. No dr avail so a midwife had to come over real quick from another delivery where her patient was pushing lol. I much prefer going into labor naturally but it wasn’t a bad experience at all :) Patreese “Reese” 9.3lbs </p> [attach=1367/19/poy5uv.337x600.402D9D6D-F10A-4E9E-8589-FF403BA020A8.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2878140 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 16:28:23 +0000 Aria 2878140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@EmmaNZ: Exciting!

I struggled with the decision too and also decided to at least go to 40 weeks. I will say though, I felt such a huge sense of relief once the induction was scheduled and it made the last couple days so much more bearable. And in the end I didn’t even need it, so even better! Hope your baby comes soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2877165 Mon, 18 Mar 2019 18:48:05 +0000 EmmaNZ 2877165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@papermoona: how are you doing? Any sign of baby ? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2877164 Mon, 18 Mar 2019 18:46:19 +0000 EmmaNZ 2877164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MilPA: congratulations!! Yay she is beautiful !! So quick.</p> <p>I decided against induction yesterday. I see the Dr on the 21st , my due date.<br /> I guess induction will be rescheduled for Monday 25th ,but I hope baby comes before then !</p> <p>@pinkb: it might just be us left ?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2877118 Mon, 18 Mar 2019 13:56:21 +0000 elm5066 2877118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MilPA: Congrats!

Lucy Adelaide was born at 4:53 pm on St Patrick’s Day about 40 minutes after getting to the hospital! We’ve made it through our first night and I’m glad to be on the other side! </p> [attach=8943/19/pokdxo.450x600.1FD3066F-2FD0-4F63-9A32-2E25969855B2.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2876971 Sun, 17 Mar 2019 02:34:23 +0000 EmmaNZ 2876971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aria: so pleased to hear recovery is easier this time , I'm on hoping for the same !<br /> I don't know much about lip ties... Whatever you decide I hope feeding gets easier for you both.</p> <p>I'm 39 + 3 today. My Dr has offered induction tomorrow and I don't know what to do. Thoughts/ experiences ? There is no real reason to.... But it would mean that my Dr is definitely there , that I can arrange childcare etc. I'm worried about a failed induction / c section .</p> <p>I'm leaning towards asking to go another week , to give baby more time to come on its own.</p> <p>These last days / weeks are tough ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2876966 Sat, 16 Mar 2019 22:43:48 +0000 MilPA 2876966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m getting excited for everyone having their babes! Here I sit still pregnant and more uncomfortable by the day! Counting down to the due date for induction but hoping she picks her own birthday before then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2876950 Sat, 16 Mar 2019 17:13:37 +0000 EmmaNZ 2876950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: congratulations ! Sounds wonderful and quick ! Sorry to hear about the post partum pre eclampsia. That's unlucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/march-2019-mamas/page/10#post-2876908 Sat, 16 Mar 2019 11:24:41 +0000 Aria 2876908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: Congrats!! I’m sorry about the pre eclampsia. Dealing with unexpected complications can be so hard.</p> <p>How’s everyone else doing? Recovery for me this time has been a thousand times better than last time thank goodness. Struggling a little with breastfeeding though because I think Juliette has a lip tie just like her big sister and it just causes so much pain. Trying to decide if we should pursue getting it clipped or not. </p>
