Well Poppy Georgina is now 8 weeks old and full of beautiful smiles. I never got around to filling everyone in with our birth experience, after finally getting home I caught swine flu and was in bed bound over Christmas and new year. To cut a long story short, I had a lovely quick and pain relief free labour (45 minutes from first contraction to delivery) but hemorrhaged badly while delivering the placenta. I lost over 2 litres of blood and didn't get to hold my beautiful baby girl for nearly seven hours post delivery. I only very narrowly avoided surgery, they had theatre staff scrubbed in and waiting but luckily the team of amazing Drs who were looking after me managed to get things under control without it going that far.
Because I was so ill when we got home, I had to give up breastfeeding when Poppy was 4 days old. I wasn't making enough milk and I was so ill that I was struggling to even pick her up to feed her. We took the decision to switch to FF so h2b could help out and we haven't looked back since. I'd love to be breastfeeding her like my others, but we're bonding just fine on FF and she is thriving, so we're all happy.
Its been really difficult to get a diet and exercise routine started, once I recovered I was thrown straight into school runs and housework. I never seem to have a spare minute, so convience food has been the only option. I have been getting out for lots of long walks while DD2 is at nursery in the afternoon and I'm hoping to get the all clear from the Dr this week to start Slimming World.
I've popped on a few times over the weeks to catch up on everyone's diaries. Hope everyone is enjoying their pregnancies and LO's.
