He has very smiley eyes and over the last two days has looked at me many times and appeared to smile! Name is still undecided, he's either going to be Noah or Benjamin. Will see how feeding goes. At the moment he's feeding well, I'm a little sore but really focussing getting the best position I can. If it looks like he's losing weight and feeding is becoming an issue I'll sort a referral to address the tongue tie x
Both lovely names, and you know, he does actually look like both! Maybe whichever one you don't go for could become a middle name? Good luck with the breastfeeding, sounds like it's all going great right now, and congratulations again, he really is so lovely.
We had Oliver's tongue tie divided on Monday as it was affecting his feeding (it was over 75% tied) and he has been feeding great since. Glad to hear your little one is feeding fine straight off.
There isn't anywhere local to have it divided with us. your referred to a lactation specialist first who supports you and advises on tricks with positioning, etc but it would be a privately paid procedure somewhere else if needed. Milk seems to be coming so we're day 3 which is on track. He'll be weighed tomorrow so fingers cross for normal weight loss. Nipples are sore and as he goes on its a bit toe curling to start but they're not cracked thankfully x

Jwebster well done! I have just been catching up on the posts I have missed on the other thread and sounds like you had a long wait in the run up to it but then all so quick. He is adorable and of course I love his name :-)
lexey was born on monday weighig 7,2 after a 5 hr labour and lots of false alarms . got to have a home water birth which was the plan. cudnt be happyer.
Hi Jwebster82, thanks so much for posting your birth story, congratulations on your beautiful boy! We hope all is good.
And congratulations to you too lou lou roo! Lexey is adorable! Please do tell us more about your home birth, won't you? Did you have a midwife with you? Was it a waterbirth in the bath? Homebirths are so fascinating, so we'd love to hear all the details!
my home birth was with 2 midwifes and my husband and my 2 best friends. lol i started off in bath as i just wanted to get in water and they was getting pool ready. it was ok being in bath but so much better n deeper in birthing pool . i was 3 cm and thin as paper cervix when midwife checked me then 4 hrs later i was 6 cm and then 1hr 15 mins lexey was here. i had just gas and air and i could get in out pool as wanted for wee or to move about ect. it was so relaxed and wud defo recomend it.
in pic she had just com in to the world and my arms were sore so every 1 was helping me keep lexeys head above water. hope no 1 is offended by pic didnt think cud see to much x
That sounds incredible loulou. I am so glad I had a home birth such a magical experience. 5 days on here and it still feels like we're in a magical bubble. We've yet to leave the house!!
libragirl im the opersit to u then i left house tuesday (birth monday). iv been out n bout for short trips only then resting after with lexey always with me . i just get bored of being in doors . were all differnt lol.
how many people left to have babies im completely out the loop.
if any 1 left has spd i was realy bad hardly walk had crutches in pain 24/7 but next day after birth i went to walk up stairs not even thinking bout it got to top n cuda cryed with achievement as i cudnt walk up stairs proir to labour. so please be reasured that it can go as quickly as it appears so relieved know . hope this brings comfort to some 1 .

I got up 12 hours after section and walked and had a shower cuz was so much easier to do than wud of bee with spd! Went away! It's unbelievable in a way isn't it how it just goes! but sooo glad it has! x
