o i'm fine marcus is now off the CPAP and has nasal prongs in and is on 30cc of oxygen. I'm so proud of him. i've been having him out loads and they are going to try him on the breast soon. i have been struggling with the expressing though, when i asked the doctor he said it was because i wasn't getting enough stimulation so i've been having lots of skin to skin contact and i have took some fenugreek capsules aswell and my milk supply seems to be increasing, so i have now stopped the fenugreek and i am going to see how it gos. i was beginning to feel down because i really want to breastfeed him and i didn't think i'd be able to as my supply had dropped but i am so glad its back up, he's having 19ml every 2 hours and i am producing 30ml every 2 hours at the mo, so hopefully with some stimulation it will increase bit more aswell. he's now back upto 2lb12 aswell. i hope its not too long for you and you can have your home birth, i know you've got your heart set on it. hows the SPD? xxx

how are you by the way? xxx

haha funnily enough sam, i am that angry at the moment, i just want to kill chris every time i see him i much prefered me when i was pregnant lol. well i didn't take it yesterday so i might leave it for a week or two and see how i go, if the pill dont agree with me godknows what i'll do cos doctor said he doesn't want to give me the injection and im not having a coil or implant,

forgot to say, the placenta came out whole according to the midwife so don't think it is that.

it could b that the mini pill jsut doesnt agree with u hun. i went on it after kai btu was only on it for a week b4 i tried 2 kill dh, threw all his clothes out in2 the road n tried 2 run off 2 my dads with kai

maybe try coming off the pill for a bit and letting ur hormones get back to noraml? i know it'd b a pain havin 2 use condoms hun but imo that'd b better than bleeding all over the place

i stopped bleeding with marcus after 4 or 5 days. and i started taking the pill after a week. about 2 weeks after that i bled for 2 weeks then stopped and i've been bleeding for about 9 days again now. think i will ring the doctors in the morning and ask them. xxx

im not sure hun but id def go back 2 the doc... mayb a a bit of ur placenta is stil in there? did u stop bleeding after u had marcus? or has it gone on since u had him? also as its ur first and ur bf (well expressing lol) bleeding should hav stopped long before 6 weeks (took 6days with ds)

x

and also the blood on the tampon is dark red brown so i keep thinking its stopped but if i don't put a new one in i find i start again :S

i've wore a pad before and it was just blood :S i asked the doctor when i went for my checkup and he just said it was probably the pill, but i've never had any problems with it before so why now, and i've never bled like this.

hey hun,

try wearing a pad and take a look at teh bleeding properly. u might have an infection (i got one after i had the coil fitted - wes awful - bloody and puss for 4 weeks straight! and then go n c ur doc 2moz

xxx

meant since lol, still half asleep lol

when i had marcus i have been having irregular bleeding. its deffinately not periods as its really light at times and when i take the tampon out the blood is only on the one side of the tampon (sorry). does anybody know what this could be, i'm on iron tablets as it is, but im that tired at the moment it is unbelievable. any help would be appreciated xxx
