APRIL 2014 - MOM's TO-BE :)

Thanks Everyone for all the wishes.. my little one doing good for now with feedings and sleep for every 2:30 - 3 hours waking up touchwood. My son not slept for more than 30 - 45 minutes between feedings and he is also colicky for the first 8 months, so hoping this little one continue her feed/sleep pattern good not like her brother. sometimes its getting tough both brother and sister want to be fed at the same time and some times she wakes up for her feed at my sons sleep time, still need to figure out good schedule which works for both of them and me, may be in a week or two hoping to get there.

My son loves her sister a lot, he wants to hold her and kiss her, but he is still small and don't know to be gentle, when he is kissing her he presses hard on her head so we are afraid to leave him alone with her for now.

How are all the other april LO's doing ? how are you all coping without sleep? are you fully awake for the night feedings ? for me sometimes I am not able to wake fully for her feeding after 12, by holding her I am sleeping in the rocking chair which scares me a lot later what if I drop her.

 

congrats divya and chinnap,

Hi Divya , chinnap,
congrats
All is well with april club

I am not so busy as I am not getting much milk and baby also is very adamant in not sucking. Due to many problems , I am tensed and that is why milk flow might have stopped.

Please pray for me that all my problems get solved

One suggestion if your stressed out then definitely milk will be less produced.


Pls pls solve your problems and stay relaxed. Consult ur ob if it's pp depression or lc for milk production issues

 

Hello all ladies,
How are you doing? me and my little one Arjun is doing good so far .

My birth story.
I was actually due on April 22 nd and Arjun arrived on April 16th( 39 W and 1 D ).
April 15th was a usual day, i went to work and even told my colleagues that i may go overdue and i would complete all the deliverables . That evening we all went shopping and came home and helped mom to cook dinner and slept around 10:30 pm. Then at around 2 am on april 16th started having slight contractions. Luckily i had my regular doc appointment on 16th so me and my hubby went and i had plans of going to office if it was usual pain. But doc checked and said i was already 4 cm.Got admitted and my hubby went home and came with laptop to watch cricket match in the L& D room. My mom and my hubby was there , i was so exhausted started pushing around 7 pm and after 3 hrs of strenuous pushing Arjun made a grand entrance . What a great experience. Initial 3 days he had tough time latching , now improving. But still it pains when he first latches , hope it improves going forward.

Chinnap, harini, Prashanti , ramya(t2bmom), Anitha , Shruti, Uma , Chitra, april1981,. Hope you are all doing good. What have you all named your kids?

I am having Mothers milk tea and Fenugreek and garlic.

 

Divya.
