April 2011 Moms

Hi banane76, violet and all April Mom,

My visit on 21 April showed that my amniotic fluid has reduced and doctor said if I don't deliver in the next 2 days I will need to admit to hospital to induce on 23rd morning. Therefore I 'discussed' with my baby on that night to come out naturally in coming 2 days if possible. Guess what, I delivered my baby boy on 22rd Apr! He is a small baby, 2.8kgs. Went to check up yesterday and he is 3.02kgs now! I am breast -feeding too!

Congrats Mavislohsp! That's great that you "talked" to your baby into coming naturally! It's much better than having an induction. They were talking about inducing me too, and I ate lots of watermelon, papaya and pineapple, got foot massages and my baby came one day early. They wanted to induce because he was a big baby. I'm so glad he came on his own and no epidural either! That's great he's gaining weight too! Good job on the breastfeeding!!!

Hi April Mommies,
Just wanted to join in the wonderful chat since my baby was also born in April. Hope everyone gets enough rest and SLEEP!

Hey Phoenix,
Congrats! Did you have a boy or girl? It's been tough also having a 16month old, but so very helpful that we have a helper now. Not sure how I could have done it alone while hubby is at work during the week. Sleep is tough, but the nights are slowly improving. My baby boy is relentless though...eating tons and tons!
