    Hi all, my (not so little) man arrived by planned section. We're home now and doing great. He's a little dote, feeding and sleeping like a champion.

    Best of luck to you all still waiting.

    Congrats xalot 😊

    Our baby number 3 turned out to be a boy, he arrived on the 19th August, a very quick birth (that I'm still reeling from a little bit!) and is doing great, feeding is going v well with the aid of nipple shields. His big brother and sister are delighted with him - although both have definitely been extra sensitive since his arrival - and we're all adjusting to being a family of 5!

    It looks like my August baby will probably be a September baby after all. I am 5 days overdue now and going demented!

    Any more babies? How did you get on, @Antares35 and @catrionanic ? Hope all well with you and your families.

    I'm doing well, had a bit of a rocky start though as I developed a bad case of mastitis after 11 days... ended up pretty sick in hospital for a few days but thankfully doing better now. I can safely say that I never want to see the inside of the NMH ever again!

    Otherwise baba is doing really well and couldn't be more in love with him. Big brother is slowly coming around to the idea too (or maybe we're just getting more tolerant of his tantrums!) 🤯😂

    Oh goodness, mastitis bad enough for a hospital stay must have been really truly nasty, you poor thing. Did you work out what caused the mastitis so that you can try to avoid it again?


    Our little lady arrived 8 days late on 2nd September. We had a planned home birth and it was just magical. She was a big baby - 4.06kg - and much bigger than her older brothers were! But she is doing great and she has two adoring fans in her older brothers who are completely madly in love.

    Ah that's lovely news, congrats! Glad your home birth worked out.

    It was awful, I've genuinely never felt as sick in my life... I'd rather go through labour again, TBH. Breastfeeding didn't work out for us so I was pumping pretty much from the start. I reckon I had an oversupply and wasn't pumping regularly enough. He's now on formula and we're both a lot happier. I'm very glad he got a couple of weeks of breastmilk but I have no regrets, exclusive pumping is extremely hard, both physically and mentally.

    Well done uptheduff, it is really hard pumping especially with another child too.Hard to be regular about it and mind a newborn too.
