The midwife came round to do the aped check and normal post natal check.
Reagan had been grunting all night and wasn't feeding too great.
So we went back to SCBU, they did all sorts of test. They took blood, did SATs, checked her heart, put a canula in,gave her oxygen because her sats were too low.
She still wouldn't feed great and was very sleepy.
Eventually they did a chest xray, which was the worst i think as she cried and cried and we weren't allowed in the room with her.
The chest xray showed a chest infection, so they began to treat it with iv antibiotics.
She was staying in SCBU and i was over on the Maternity ward. They had to call me back to feed her but she was so tired and breathless and she couldn't get her SATs up, i was back an forth every hr till about 2am. At which time the nurse suggested we feed her through the tube that they had put down her nose.
So i agreed as it just didn't seem fair to keep making her struggle.
