Reagan is now 10 days old and should by rights be getting signed off from the midwife and handed over to the health visitor.
When the midwife came she weighed her again and said that she should be back up to birth weight by now. She had only gained 1.5oz so now weighed 6lb 5oz, also her cord was still very much attached.
So she didn't sign her off and would return in a few days to weigh her again!
I forgot to mention that when she was born she had fat neck at the back and at the very top of her back. They described it as webbing. They wern't sure what it was but thought it was probably from the fluid that was showing on the nuchal translucency, perhaps it hadn't be reabsorbed into the body until very late on in pregnancy. It should shrink back as she grows. And on the right side of her sole by her heel on her right foot it looked a little miss shaped, a bit like it had been added on. They asked if she was at any time breech, but she wasn't. So they thought it must just be the way she was positioned.
