Day 4

We had breakfast with my family this morning as it is my mums birthday. Given everything else it was difficult to get out of the hotel and back to our baby with the twins, the wedding and other family stuff so we decided we would stay with them until 11am and then head back into London.

When we got the train though, they were all cancelled from Wembly Park meaning we had to get the jubilee line to Bakerloo and then back up. Decided against the last train as staff said the bus would be quicker, so got an uber across instead. Took twice as long as it should have but we got there eventually. Fed bubby as soon as we got there, then after lots of cuddles went and had some lunch.

Came back for next feed again, then had to go up to see the community midwife. She was lovely but wasn’t really able to give much of an update. Despite being told that she would likely be the one who has to re admit us. Started talking about logistics for tonight. I thought it just made more sense to stay over tonight in a hotel and spend some time tomorrow with him before going home tomorrow late afternoon to see the twins.

We were in the process of trying to sort when a Dr came in to give us a bit of an update. We asked her about why they were looking to discharge us to Milton Keynes hospital tomorrow, and she wasn’t aware of it at all.

So we started talking about what had happened and the midwife appointment where we were told she would have to be the one to admit me again. The Dr wanted to know what had happened so we explained the situation from yesterday.

She was horrified.

Asked to go and check all the rest of the information with the sister in charge.

Next thing we know, the consultant and sister in charge are in the room with us asking why we were discharged. Again both disgusted with what happened. Then they asked if I was breastfeeding and asked the nurse if she thinks if I was here I would be breastfeeding constantly without any top ups. She agreed that I would be.

They disappeared.

When they came back, they had admitted me and already gotten me a bed upstairs. They even said that our little man was well enough to go with me!

The most amazing end to what was a horrendously stressful situation. So so happy to be back on the ward and back with my baby.
