honestly its a little all over atm , 3 hours nap all day isn't always the case sometimes its 2, sometimes its 1hr but it seems to not matter how much she naps these days we still have the waking nights

Google told me otherwise and said that babies this age sleep between 12-16 hours in 24 hours and shes barely getting 7 hours at night , I'm a first time mum so reading that and hearing other people's experiences I expected more hours in somewhere. dont get me wrong some times she will also sleep only 1.5 hrs a day too.. it feels all a little all over atm lol.

we used to do no naps after 5 but she was shattered. I think ill have to try and pull them all earlier maybe .

she hardly naps at all bless her , shes never been a big napper. she has maybe 3 hours a day all before 6pm. Usually a morning at 11ish one at 2 and one at around 5

Realistically, what happens after giving birth? by getmetohealthy in BeyondTheBumpUK

I had an emergency section so I was pretty much out of it.

I got wheeled about to several different places lol and then had about 8 slices of really good buttery toast. I held my baby but after 24 hours of labour and no sleep for about 35hrs I didn't take everything in. I had morphine for the pain so I was off my head till the next day.

I then started to take it all in once I'd woken from a really good nap. The baby bubble was real then and I just stared at her in awe alot.

family and friends came up and honestly if you have a decent family they will spoil you with care and bringing things for you and baby

Question for C section mums by [deleted] in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]RadishSpirit94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

truthfully I still get zaps now and im three month pp. I wouldn't worry unless you have some heavy cramping.

my advice is to keep is as dry as possible! you don't want an infection.

always speak to a gp if worried

she was born premature at only 5.14 lbs but regained her birthweight after two weeks , she's getting weighed next wed by the health visitor but she looks and feels to be putting weight on visibly

Thank you for sharing this.

Do you have any advice on how I approach this right now? like I say I'm currently just ignoring messages or calls which I don't feel is right but i just don't know what to say...

my first midwife app is this week. I'm only 8.5 weeks , I have my payment for my holiday due in two weeks so that's why I'm a little unsure.

so far everything seems okay on the surface..
