Hiya all. I had Jade last Wednesday by c-section (11 April) and she is absolutely gorgeous, I am totally in love with her. I had an awful time in hospital, won't go into all of the gory details but I lost 2 and a half litres of blood and thought I was gonna die at one point. Still, we came home Saturday and she is perfect.

I'm so happy.

The surgeon, she had to cut through 3 large blood vessels she told me, that's why so much blood loss.

Thanks, he loves her but very protective. Good thing in one way but he got really annoyed when I let a couple of my friends hold her after school today. :wah:

Thanks guys. I'd forgotten just how intense this feeling is. I think the little lady has tummy ache poor thing.

Had an embarassing time today. Went to the park after school and one of my boobies started leaking! :wah:

Thank you.

She is having trouble with her number twos. Any advice other than boiled cooled water which isn't working would be greatly appreciated. She is so happy and contented, I feel so guilty when she grunts trying to go.

Little bit of sugar in that boiled water!

don't tell the health profesionals though, they don't approve of tips handed down from previous generations!

My mum and doctor said the same but the hospital and NHS Direct said no way. The suppositories worked although it was horrid to do.

Got some thanks but can't use it until they are a month old. Only a few days to go though, gone way too fast!

saffy · Post by **saffy** » Sun May 06, 2007 1:14 am

Gripe water is generally for colic/windy babies..not sure of the benefit for a constipated babe.

Double check to make sure that the feeds are being made properly, especially is someone other than you is doing them. Check that the correct amount of water is being put into the feed.

If she's in pain a warm bath and a tummy rub can sometimes stimulate a nice poo which would make her feel better.

I'd mention it to the health visitor at baby clinic if you go to one, just to have it on her records that she's suffered with it just incase it occurs again.
