Awwwww Kathkenz she's gorgeous!! Congratuations, so glad everything went well for you!
How exciting you ladies getting close! Fingers crossed there's some more gorgeous August babies soon!
George now weighs 6lbs over his birthweight at 10 days old, little feeding monster! So happy though, the midwife also said he's remarkably strong so I feel like that 12 hour session did something! He's now been cluster feeding for 6 hours though, in-laws came over and didn't get a single cuddle after a1.5 hour drive bless them...
Not sure if you guys probably know this already but Aldi have started their big baby event online today
Hope all the ladies waiting have their babies soon.
Such lovely photos girls.
Lizzie hows the constipation for your girl? Do aptilmal formula do one specifically for conspitation. I seem to think they do we used it for our son a few times...
Vonnie she is on cow and gate and I tried the comfort milk that’s for constipation but she just refused to drink it because it’s a lot more watery than the normal so the health visitor said to mix them to see if it helps but it’s just not working at all I have given her water massages her belly everything so going to ring her tomorrow to see what else I can try. It’s so hard seeing her in so much pain when she tries to poop 😞
Lizzie its so horrible to see your baby uncomfy i hope something gets sorted. My boy had constipation/ trapped wind. Dont know if you have tryed cycling her legs/ bringing her legs up to her chest and havingbher on her tummy rubbing her back. We did that with our son.... Made me feel a bit less helpless. Hope something gets sorted soon xxxxxxx
If anyones struggling with wind gripewater is a god send, little ones been on half a dose every feed for a week now and mostly manages to burp a lot easier, still sometimes struggles with wind down below buy defo worth a try! My rosie was constipated but aptimal comfort worked wonders we are now practically one poop a day everyday however theyre so smelly lol!
I used gripe water with my other 2 bobble and it was fab. It was the first thing I bought when I was getting in baby stuff for Matthew. Touch wood I haven't had need to use it yet but defo worth keeping in the cupboard just incase. Glad your wee one is managing to go to the toilet.
Well my wee man had a wonder sleep last night. I'm sure it was a one off lol but he went down at 9pm and other than a quick 10min feed at 130am that was him until 6am 😁😁😁😁.
Quick announcement! As there have been quite a few babies born, we though it was time to kick off your August 2018 Babies thread. Please feel free to post here, or on the new thread (whether you have had your baby or not) but we will eventually lock this thread once all the babies have arrived.
Hope all the mummies and babies are doing well and the mummies still awaiting their bubbas are ok!?
I am 40 weeks today! Official due date for my baby girl. Ive had my second sweep of the week and have gone from 1cm on Monday to 2cm today. Just waiting for regular contractions to kick in! Hopefully not to long.
I have been feeling a bit down the past few days crying for hours on end just feeling useless. I finally told my mum how I was feeling and she has me staying with her for a while. Think it’s just the fact am doing everything on my own and with baby been as early as she was I wasn’t mentally prepared at all and that made me feel like a rubbish parent on top of all the issues with her pooping to as she was screaming in so much pain.
Feeling more positive today as she finally pooped well last night and Having people around me all day is really helping it’s taken a lot to speak how I really feel because I felt so ashamed of myself for it.
other than that the little one went to 8lbs 4 at her weigh in so 10 ounces in a week so she is doing great. She also finally passed her hearing test the other day so she is definitely coming on great.
Oh Lizzie, big hug!!! you shouldn’t feel ashamed at all!
Your doing an amazing job at raising your bubba. The first few weeks/months are tough! For 1st 2nd 3rd and more time mumas! You’ve been able to recognise how youre feeling and talk to your mum about it. That’s a brave thing to do. I’m glad you’ve got your Mum and people around you and it sounds like your little girlie is doing great and that’s all down to you!
i had a very good nights sleep (the best in 9 months) so was a bit disappointed waking up and not feeling anything but feeling very refreshed, until about 8:30 thismorning when i began loosing my mucus plug and I am now getting some more regular stronger pains 😃 so keeping my fingers crossed it continues!!

Sounds like that sleep might well have been the calm before the storm!
