Hi Everyone!
Adam was born at 4.11am on Friday morning weighing 5lb 6oz 🙂
I was induced on thursday and my labour progressed REALLY quickly,so quickly that i didn't manage to even get any pain relief apart from gas and air right at the end!
They didn't even manage to get me on the sliding scale that i was supposed to go on when i was in established labour.
Anyway I was discharged on Saturday but Adam is in s.c.b.u at the moment as his blood sugars aren't good :( They have been as low as 1.6 and the highest were 4.2,they have to remain steady for him to be able to come home.He's on a glucose drip atm but hopefully he'll be coming off it soon.They can't say when he'll be allowed home,depends on when his sugars have settled.
I know he's in the best place but i got really upset when i came home and saw the moses basket sitting there and no baby to put in it :( I suppose i didn't expect him to have to stay in while i've been allowed home.
Anyway hopefully he'll be home sometime this week xxx
 
Jude congratulations on the birth of Adam x sorry he has to be kept in s.c.u.b.a though must be very hard for you I hope his BS levels soon start rising to within range hun,all the best x
 
Congratulations and Well done! Sounds like quite a dramatic entry into the world! Love the name Adam. Hope you have him home very soon 🙂
 
Congratulations Jude! So sorry to read that little Adam has to stay in for a few days. I have everything crossed that he is back with you very very soon xxx
 
Aaahhh well done Jude. I read through your post thinking 'this is fabulous'!! then read that Adam is still in. It sounds liek you did amazingly well and hopefully they will stabilise him quick and your moses basket will be full very soon. And he was a tiny little dot!

Congratulations Jude and well done 😉

Many congratulations!! I really sympathize with you - I was stuck on the ward for a couple of days with baby1 upstairs in SCBU & it was horrible - keeping my fingers crossed for you that baby's home soon & you are both soon bonding & thriving wonderfully, bless you. xx
 
Wow thats a fast labour. Congratulations.

He will be home soon. Jemima was in for a week after i went home. Longest time ever. It doesnt feel real till they are home. Its like being trapped in a dream.

Its horrid being apart from them. And seeing them struggle. If you need to talk just pm me, ive been there.

Try to get lots of sleep at least, and make sure you look after yourself so when he is home your as fit as can be.

xx
 
congratulations 🙂
 
well done......
 
congraulations your son will be home soon so good luck in nappy, feeding and late nights x x
 
Congratulations! Hopefully Adam will be home with you soon!

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the lovely messages 🙂
Adam is doing much better today,he came of the glucose drip at 10am and his sugars have stayed steady all day.
He's taking his milk well now and has just gone on to 3hrly feeds,if things stay as they are he should be home very soon.🙂
Me and the hubby actually can't wait for the nappy changing & sleepless nights to begin!!!
 
Hi Jude, I'm glad to hear that Adam is fine, and I hope you get him home soon! All the best x
