Lisa Cuddy Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This is me and my other half's second attempt at baby making after she sadly miscarried at 10 weeks in December, understandably we are being super cautious. No danger foods, caffeine, obviously alcohol, no lifting and carrying and worst of all none of the other :-( So it irks me a tad when I see, like I did today, a very heavily pregnant girl in her twenties strolling down the road reaking up a cigarette. If you're willing to risk your unborn babies health for a smoke then you need to reassess your lifestyle choices. I'm being polite. It's a frightening position to be in and I feel for you in that respect. I'm hoping for the best for you both. Meanwhile, you've got hands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heedthebaa Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 My girlfriend is 10 and a half weeks gone, I already have two boys aged 17 and 15. The sleepless nights are worrying me a tad, I managed the last time getting up throught the night with both of them but I was in my early/mid twenties then. This one is due a couple of weeks before my 40th birthday. Still giddy as a school girl though. :-)all the best. My brother become a Dad again at 48, he loves it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1888bhoy67 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well i managed to a couple of photos of wee Orlaith Rose when she had pulled her wee neo shades off yesterday, and she's a little miniture clone of our youngest Rhiannon, She needs a double exchange blood transfusion to try and get rid of the anti-bodies as her billi levels got aggressively high, but the issue with that is if she doesn't get the transfusion she wouldn't make it, but with getting the transfusion it puts her in a 1 -50 risk of developing further more serious issues including brain damage and breathing problems. She had the first one over the course of the day yesterday so she has to have 2 blood tests to check these billi levels, the first one should be ok, but it's the second one that will give us a true indication of wether the levels have started coming down, so she still needs to be breathed for until these transfusions are done, and she'll be under the lights for the forseeable future, she's also been getting feed and fluids through other lines in her body, As much as some of our others have been here before, it really doesn't get any easier, and i just want to breakdown every time i see the wee soul lying there as i feel completely helpless, it's soul destroying 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracowjambo Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I had a baby 10weeks ago. He was 6lb 2 and was 6 weeks prem. He's a grumpy little shit. He's costing a fortune in food. He's on jars and porridge already. I wish they had a mute button 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 It's not a fib. If you're not talking bollocks, which I highly doubt, then there is no way you should be feeding a 10 week old child solids, let alone one that was six weeks premature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything earlier than 4 months is a fairly daft move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The health visitor kept bringing up the fact he's prem. He's 10 week's old now and healthy how long is it brought up?. We're giving him a smooth paste 5week's and 1 day before he's ment to have it he swallows and digests it ok so I see no problem in giving it to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracowjambo Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I was just reading about baby development. They smile at 6-8weeks Ollie was doing it at 2week's. He's holding his head up unsupported if you sit him on your knee and he looks about he's started to straighten his back aswell so for being a prem baby he's advanced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Talk about wrapping a baby on cotton wool. Seriously? Your health visitor isn't doing her job properly if she has not given you the proper information regarding the dangers of solids before 16 weeks. I'm sure some advise nothing but milk before 20 weeks. Guidelines are there for a reason. Edit: And the chances are that it was wind, not a smile.
