He's also not breathing as well as they'd like (side effect of a section baby I believe) so he's been monitored this afternoon. But signs are of improvement in both of these so all good, I think.

Not to worry you but the reason I ask is that at Ruaridh started projectile vomiting quite early and as it was my first experience with a baby I thought that was normal. Then it started happening after every feed and he had a very painful looking bloated stomach. He quickly stopped gaining weight and after looking online everything pointed to Pyloric Stenosis. We made an appointment with the GP with the understanding that if he tried to palm us off we would then insist on looking into what we had researched. We didn't want to lead with that for obvious reasons. "You know, our expert medical opinion, after consulting the internet is..." Worryingly he told us to wait and came back after 20 minutes telling us he had made arrangements with the Children's hospital and an ambulance was on it's way to pick us up. Immediately we panicked. When we got to hospital we were told he would need surgery. Having a 3 week old baby not able to eat (under no circumstances was he to be fed, and it's absolutely heartbreaking hear your child cry with hunger, knowing full well his mum is holding him, smelling the breast milk and not being able to get it) was a very testing experience. Thankfully it was caught early and although it can be incredibly serious, it's a relatively risk free operation. He's now 9 months old and a fat b*****d. Anyway, as I say, I don't mean to worry you but there are signs. Be vigilant. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pyloric-stenosis/symptoms-causes/dxc-20163857 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise it can be dangerous as an adult. I was such a mess. I looked like a human pizza. I even had them on my knob. Hunners of them. Hunners of them on my massive knob. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum said the doctor told her it's usually a hereditary illness but no immediate family of mine have had it.

I don't remember being told it was hereditary, but my head was up my arse at the time. No one on either of our sides had it. My son has a wee scar on his belly button and that's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slept all night and taken a feed this morning. No spew - yet at least. A wee bit gurney.

Please do consider what I said though. It can be very serious but thankfully we caught it early and I appears I am destined to worry every single person I know with a newborn if their child so much as spits a bit of milk out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Thanks everyone. Find it so weird going back to the house leaving Mum and baby in hospital. Guess all dad's from section babies will go through it. Just a weird feeling leaving at 9pm. Congratulations mate. Yes that bit is a right shitter, it was nearly a week I had to leave them every night too, hopefully you will only have to do it a couple of days. Great when you get them home! ^^ this. Section babies get kept in alot. Mostly for the mothers sake with the wound needing to heal.Wee one was born the monday and they got home the saturday. Wife was ready to leave by the wednesday. Some utter arseholes in the ward. On phone all night the their mates and one didnt try the hospital food and her bloke kept taking in takeaways for her and leaving the rubbish in the locker bin.

The Woolshed Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 There's only two others in the ward with two empty beds. We're next to the window this time which is making a huge difference. Slightly more room and ability to make it cooler when required. Fingers crossed they get home today [emoji51] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were that busy when I was in, there was a pregnant women in the high dependency unit amongst all us ladies who had already had their babies. She had extreme sickness but asked to be let put for some "fresh air" fag in hand. I was seething! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 She's now had some honking diarrhoea so seems like a bug for sure. No more spew so far. Will be keeping eye on her make sure she doesn't dehydrate. Wee soul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
