Alesia is almost 3 weeks old and it seems like just yesterday! So far things are going ok, she is not gaining weight the way the lactition wans her to so I feel like I do nothing but feed her! I have to feed her for 15 minutes on each side then pump fo 15 mintes and feed her about 1/2 oz to an once of what I pump. This takes about an hour everytime I feed her! She still eats every three hours so not much of a break. I am about ready to just pump and bottle feed... Other than that we are great! I have lost 20 lbs so far- love the breast feeding! But I also am more prone to sweets now... I am hoping to get that under control, since I have another 15 to go to get my body back.I hope you turn this into a parenting bored! I feel such a bond with you ladies and hope to keep in touch

It did slow down the contrations though. I was fully dialated at about 3:30-3:45 and started pushing. I could still feel the contrations so I would tell the dr when I thought I should be pushing. She was born a short 40 minutes later! Afterwards the dr was a little concerned about my bleeding but I wasnt paying attention- I was holding my beautiful baby!!! When I delivered the placenta they found that it had ruptured in spots and it took them awhile to stop the bleeding. But everything turned out fine! Later my dr came in and told me about the worries that she had, I had lost half my blood!!! They monitored us for the next two days. Luckily I didt need a transfusion and Alesia's jaundice was at tolerable levels, so they let us go home on Sunday afternoon, but I had to go back yesterday to get her levels checked and again today. So far her levels are great and she hasnt had to go under the lights, and she has started eating really good and hasnt lost anymore weight since the first day!!!View Thread
