A comment about a tan was the first sign that H had jaundice! We still never even clicked, but i was in hospital and saw loads of nurses and it was only 1 person who said "lemon realy is not her colour while she has jaundice" that made us realise! She was quite orange by that point but no nurses had picked it up!

I am sure everything will be ok. Let us know how you get on. x

Thats a pic of him if thats any help
The MW gave me a number to call if i have any worries between now and weds so if he carries on i think i will give them a call

Sorry everyone, just realised I jumped in and didnt say hello today So Hi!

Hope the snows not driving everyone too daft, I agree about going stir crazy cooped up in the house. OH had to help me walk to asda just to get out for a bit as Isla was in the sling, there's no chance of pushing the pram here.

Like the new avvie's everyone, very cute.

hi elle. all is well here. i dont know how u have survived not going out since Monday!!! I havrnt been out today, and think i might need to pop to Tesco jst toget out the house when ids are in bed!!

I'm dying to go out, just don't want to in the snow I shook myself up last year spinning my car in less snow than we have now and I don't fancy doing that again! :cool: I want it all gone by Wednesday cos I have to go out then - BFing supporter training starts then!

Mexican chicken wraps here for tea tonight - can't wait, tis my fav!

Rhys is having a really giggley (sp?) day today.. keeps laughing to himself which is most disturbing!

He looks lovely PP. I would just wait and call your midwife for reassurance if worried tomorrow. He doesn't look jaundice to me, but I am no expert. Just thought I would suggest it in case it hadn't crossed your mind as we never realised. If he continued to be really sleepy tomorrow I would get advice, but that's just my opinion.
I thought I had a great baby because she was sleeping whilst all the other babies were crying. Did not realise she was dehydrated!

Do you think it would be worth trying him with a small amount of cooled boiled water Id prefer to give him that rather than formula

Fitzio

I have no idea. Never used cooled boiled water. I don't have much experience other than what happened to me, sorry PP. Someone else might be able to advise. Don't be scared to ring your midwife for advice though. We had to go to formula due to dehydration but I would have liked to BF.

tia, can i have share of your dinner?! sounds immense!
Im havibg homemade vegetable soup. I really fancied it earlier, but i forot it was Saturday, and it just isnt a "Saturday" dinner!!

PP, very cute! But that MW is talking crap. You are fully within your right to see your maternity notes and have someone go through them and to get a de-breifing by a doctor. She probably said that to shut you up :cool: They can ask that you make an appointment to see them though. But if they won't play ball, contact your local PALS . How do you feel about the birth, you ok about it or not so ok?

Take a pic of him now, if he has a tan (tango babies!) it will show up in a pic if you compare them. Another warning sign is jittering. His movement may become very jittery, but thats hard to spot in babies anyway. :rolleyes:

Fitzio, why do think Amber is called Amber? :rotfl: Was DH idea of humour
