Feels like we got through the last thread super quick!
Haha probably me barrelling in with my 100 stressy questions a dayFeels like we got through the last thread super quick!
Baby yoda looked tooo cute oh my god baggy clothes make everything cuterThanks for the new thread.
my baby’s napping for longer which is great but it gets to a point where I feel like I sit twiddling my thumbs (never happy haha).
Senokot or Dulcoease if they have anyThanks for the messages of support yesterday ladies. It was a rough day! We got home and then the hospital called and said they’d lost baby’s blood sample so needed us to bring him back for another. His poor little heels are so bruised after the blood sugar testing too! So the dr wasn’t concerned about the pooing (or lack of) yet but he’d dropped to 7lbs from 7lb 11oz so a little more than they’d like and his jaundice levels were high. He didn’t need to go in for phototherapy last night but we were advised to top him up with some formula and are back here now waiting for another blood test. He is still looking quite yellow so not sure what to expect. He’s started weeing like a champ though so just hoping the number 2s follow soon.
Pretty annoyed I haven’t heard a thing from community midwives and no day 5 visit so we’ve had to come back to the hospital for the tests but hey ho. I had him privately (although still within my local NHS Hospital) so I wonder if it’s just an admin glitch but I’ve tried calling them since Thursday as did the private ward and no sign of them.
PS It should be LAW that you are informed going for a number 2 after an episiotomy will feel like giving birth all over again. Someone vaguely mentioned MAYBE wanting to get some laxatives but it was a passing comment. First one was horrendous and now I need to go again and am utterly terrified. What can I buy from a sainsburys local on a Sunday evening to help?!
If you get some lactulose. That helps.Thanks for the messages of support yesterday ladies. It was a rough day!

Lactoluse didn’t help me and senakot says done use if BF. I ate 3 dates a day to help me. I continued with lactoluse but it had no effect on me good luck xThanks for the messages of support yesterday ladies. It was a rough day!

It took me 8 days to go after my stitches I had to give myself a suppository and the gp gave me some laxative drink. You can also buy lactulose over the counter.Thanks for the messages of support yesterday ladies. It was a rough day!

Also, and possibly not on the NHS website, a large iced coffee on an empty stomach always seems to do the trickIf you get some lactulose. That helps.
Also, hold a pad against your stitches when you go. It helps with the pressure a little
yes-everything was fineCurrently I’m in the third trimester. I have had my first jab of the vaccine and due for a second vaccine soon.
I don’t know why I have doubts.
Has anyone had both vaccines during pregnancy and given birth to a healthy baby?
I feel so stressed and at a loss what to do.
Yep, got a healthy 6 week old. I caught covid 6 days after he was born and I dread to think how awful I'd have felt if I hadn't had the vaccine.Currently I’m in the third trimester. I have had my first jab of the vaccine and due for a second vaccine soon.

100% get Cosmocol or Movicol from GP to help with no2s after birth. Game changer xIt took me 8 days to go after my stitches I had to give myself a suppository and the gp gave me some laxative drink. You can also buy lactulose over the counter.
