I was in 4 nights but had to be put under general anaesthetic, managed to get a fever and had blood pressure issues. I think the general rule is 3-5 for sections.

How long do they generally keep you in on a planned section for a first baby?
I thought the “my milk hasn’t come in yet” was funny, most people know milk comes in on day 3-5. Sure she’s about 2L of colostrum at home, is she going to use it or was that just to bring on labour?The smugness around the breastfeeding sums up this dope for me to be honest and is the reason she’s so unlikeable online and irl. It’s your first day on a very long journey so much can happen in the coming days give it a rest.
Don't let someone on Instagram let you feel bad about yourself, especially when it comes to breastfeeding. I've been there and done that. Felt like absolute shite comparing myself to someone else who was getting loads of milk via pumping and I was getting tiny amounts. Your body will only do what it can and once you give it your best shot you can say you've tried your best. Don't beat yourself upI’ve been trying to harvest colostrum on and off for a few weeks and simply haven’t gotten any (the veeeery odd droplet now and again) and felt like shit seeing the vast amounts Kim managed.
Is she even going to need it now?
Just wait until 'Night 2' my LO fed every 20 minutes that night and screamed when I tried to put her down, I had to literally smother my boobs in nipple creamIt's literally only day one, wait until a few days in when the baby wants to be on your boob constantly and your nipples are red raw, I don't think we will be seeing any smug posts then
My friend was like that to after hers it must be horrendous to be vomiting after a section I can't imagine that painYou ladies were lucky
I puked for hours after my spinal! Got my toast the next morning after!!
Kim is really dragging it out. She'll post him just before midnight. It's a bit daft really.
Glad he is here safely! He has massive feet I'd say he's a big boyshe'll be glad of the section
Me too, looking back it was barbaric. For fathers too. My poor husband never say the baby until we came home because there was a problem after birth and baby was whisked away. Thank god it wasn't my first or I think I'd have PTSD now. I know it was all necessary but jesus it was awful for everyone.100%, i get upset when I think back on it all. Other half having to leave after 1 hour and didn't see him for 3 days. Thank god those restrictions are gone.
3-4 hour stretch is fine as long as he is feeding well, nappies are wet and dirty.Can’t believe she’s breastfeeding given her poor diet . She was obviously only harvesting trying to bring on labour ! She will be in for a shock when baby is cluster feeding and she’s stuck to the couch for hours on end , I hope there is a shop in walking distance for Robbie
Also 4 hour stretches is too long for a baby that young, you are meant to feed them every 2-3 hours
Username … are you a vet?But surely harvesting is especially useful if you plan on breastfeeding? It's to supplement them with in the first few days, if necessary, rather than giving a formula top up. And she may still use some of what she harvested if establishing BF doesn't go smoothly, or if his blood sugars drop etc.
Now, she harvested about 100 times more than she will ever need, which is completely ridiculous!! And I think she probably did intend for it to bring on labour... thank god it didn't, with a footling breech inside her!!
I'm jealous I want to go back and i am only 4 montDoesn’t Robbie just look so happy in that photo she posted? He seems really excited to be a dad! Hope all goes well for them tomorrow. I’m so jealous, I’ve another 10 weeks to wait
Did anyone call the name? I know someone deffo called it being a nickname as a name!
Have to agree. I've a name that back in the day would of had a longer version. People always assume my birth cert must have the longer/different version. It doesn't. Why would it. It's never been my nameMy parents did the same for me and I hate my full name. I was called the shortened version my whole life. Have spent yrs getting official documents in that name.
I think Ollie is a lovely name personally. Anyone I know with a name like that eg Charlie, Ben etc., that’s what’s on the birth cert.Each to their own I reckon
Absolutely, maybe that’s why he’s going so long between feeds, is she giving that as well? It would be a crying shame to waste so much colostrumBut surely harvesting is especially useful if you plan on breastfeeding?

Give it a rest and be happy for the girlThe smugness around the breastfeeding sums up this dope for me to be honest and is the reason she’s so unlikeable online and irl. It’s your first day on a very long journey so much can happen in the coming days give it a rest.
Who are you to tell others give it a rest!! I’m sharing my opinion like I’m entitled to about her already banging on like she’s the worlds best breastfeeding mother and it’s all so amazing…. Never said I wasn’t happy for herGive it a rest and be happy for the girl
She’s amazing. Don’t be so begrudgingWho are you to tell others give it a rest!! I’m sharing my opinion like I’m entitled to about her already banging on like she’s the worlds best breastfeeding mother and it’s all so amazing…. Never said I wasn’t happy for her
