Just getting discharged from the hospital and I would like to share a tip it might not be for everyone, just thought I'd share.
My daughter was born Thursday weighing 6lbs12oz. By Friday night she was 6lbs3oz. They were concerned because she dropped so much and wanted me to supplement. Because I know that some babies lose weight after birth and I was feeding on demand and she was and is very demanding I told them no thank you and to check back the next night. The nurse was pushy, but I have 3 other children and I wasn't going to let her pressure me. The next night they checked and she was 6lbs5oz and they left me alone.
My tip is to trust your body, trust your baby and trust your instincts. If she wasn't nursing like crazy I probably would have tried it, but she wasn't lacking.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
I can’t stress this enough, PLEASE TIP YOUR SERVER!!
Another post got me thinking... Do you think your child's name is unique?!
By unique I mean shared by almost no-one else
Got to the hospital at 4 am to start my pitocin, well.. I was put on the drip at 430 am , and was 4cm dilated and 80 percent effaced, an hour later. The nurse came in to check me, hours later, and I was at 6 cm. I got the epidural at 6cm.. But it didn't work for me, no more than 20 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain, I was screaming and crying.. And felt everything.. most terrible pain ever, I called for my nurse to come in and she checked me again, said I was ready to deliver, babys head ...
They tried pushing it onto me too because he lost a whole pound but by the next day he gained 7 oz so yeah either they screwed up their weight or they need to stop pushing
