Hi all 🙂 I am back at home with my gorgeous daughter!

They were finally going to induce me on Wednesday after being in hospital for 10 days again! I went into labour naturally on Tuesday morning and Kitty Ann was born at 6am after 2 hours labour. She just got to 36 weeks and weighed 7lb 3oz. Her BG levels never dropped.

We went to a transitional ward and stayed in until yesterday, when I finally had to give up on the idea of breast feeding her and they let us come home. They think she was just too young to grasp the concept :( She had all the colostrum expressed so I have to be content I tried my best. She has settled into bottle feeding really well though.

She is very clingy but I don't want to do anything except cuddle her anyway so that isn't a problem (yet!). I am left with type 1 diabetes but gosh isn't she just worth it, I adore her <3

Thanks for all your support through my traumatic pregnancy 🙂 *hugs*

Congratulations!! Kitty's a lovely name & she's gorgeous! Well done! 🙂 Don't let the breastfeeding thing get you down - it's not easy, my first was 35w 6 d & never 'got' suckling either, we expressed colustrum etc too & he's a feisty rascal now - what you have given her already is a really big boost, so well done! 🙂 Congrats!!
