Anyone else TTC/NTNP #2 and have a LO under 1yr?

[Darlin65]

I didn't really ever want sex before DS and then I wanted it all the time during and right after. When I had my mc I think my hormones changed again because I don't want it that often anymore

 

[Darlin65]

Well looks like no sex for me. I went to take a bath. Go out and put on something sexy, did my make up and when I walk back out to the living room he was gone. He went upstairs and went to bed without even telling me. It's 7:00 at night LO should be waking up any minute from his nap to eat, take a bath and play a little before bed. I feel like nothing I do is right

Not sure we will even be able to properly TTC because he is like this all the time. I swear the man has no sex drive whatsoever

Well fx that your intuition is right!!! And I think second time round you are more in touch with your body to.
And thanks lol I am still getting use to it.

I got stringy whitish clear globs with this pregnancy in the beginning. Could be a symptom.

Daddiesgift: reading your post made me cringe in pain a bit...that sounds awful! It makes me remember those days i had too. So scared to do another feed and seeing blood around lo's mouth so so painful..i remember crying too during feeds.

Right before i called it quits MIL suggested nipple sheilds...i give my life to those things! Lol....best purchase of my life. I saved them in case i need them this go around again.

I completely agree nipple shields were a life saver I had got mastitis I think 3 times before I used these and I had the same sore cracked nipples but nipple shields are amazing!!! The hospital I had hunter was amazing there is a register lactation specialist if not 2 on the maternity ward everyday to help with feeding which is amazing and she gave me 3 to use I didn't like them at first but once I knew how to use them properly they were a life saver!!

D1: yay congrats that's so exciting!!! It will be amazing if you got your bfp this cycle to definitely a month to remember.

Abii: I also didn't have a very sperm friendly zone lol but apparently the month of march my body decides to be speed friendly as I fell pregnant with just one day difference with both pregnancies very strange!
A 34 day cycle isn't to bad I mean obviously it would be nice to have the 28 sat cycle again but it definitely could be worse. Wow you bled for a long time after the birth did they say why? I think bled for about 5 weeks with the last 2 being quite light. Are you breastfeeding? I can't remember if this was already talked about or not but if you are that could affect your cycles as well. It definitely did with me!!


Afm: my belly is getting huge already!!!

Morning sickness has pretty much gone thank god!!! I am so happy it's not another 24 week sickness pregnancy! Other than that no news.

Good luck to all of you in your tww I have everything x for you.

Haha yeah that is strange, did you find out the same day with both? And I know it isn't as bad as it could be, but for me, being used to set periods its taking me awhile to get used to lol. Yeah I bled longer because I did breastfeed for a month but my daughter would almost never latch right and my nipples got so cracked, painful I had to stop but with the next baby I plan to try again but this time I wont give up, because I regretted it when I couldn't breast-feed my daughter. I even tried to re-lactate 3 months pp to give bf a try again but it didn't work out so decided to just wait for the next.
And no they never really had an answer for why I bled so long, they say some women bleed upto 5 months pp!
Your belly is super cutee! I miss my belly so bad and glad you don't have morning sickness anymore, I had mine until 28 weeks with Zo, it was horrible lol

Good luck to you! I had an awful time breastfeeding #1. I was really oblivious that there could be problems bfing! I thought it was hurt a little in the beginning but holy crap no one told me like that. My son just wasnt interested in latching. He would for a few seconds, then let go, then go back, then let go, over and over. I kept getting mastitis and in and out of the hospital with infections. I remember at the end of a feed he was asleep and his mouth and surronding area was covered in blood. I called the lactation consultant for the millionth time and she said "A little blood never hurt anybody. At least hes nursing". Um yeah it was hurting me I really had an aversion to bfing. I could only think horrible thoughts during and I would cry uncontrollably each nurse. So pretty much all day everyday. I began to resent each nurse and I was truely afraid of my baby. He would be asleep in his swing and I would be sitting there in the quite no tv trying not to breath I was so scared he would wake up to nurse again. It really hurt our bond. Finally I said piss off with that idea and went to formula. I became resentful over the whole situation since it wasnt this magical bonding experience like others said it would be. I onlly lasted 6 weeks bfing him.

So I said with #2 no way in hell was I doing that again. Well I did of course I guess to prove to all the nay sayers that I could. To prove that I wasnt weak. Well lets just say I bf him for 9 days. The 9th morning I woke up with horrible chills, a breast lump the size of a baseball..once again mastitis. I immediately said I was not going through that again. I stopped that day. Of course everyone looked at me bad and made me feel bad and the fact I wouldnt dry up. Blah. I tried to relactate. But after pumping every hour for a few days I slapped myself into reality and never tried again!

Pretty much on the fence what Ill do with #3. Is there a way someone can just strap me to a bed and make me continue?

I think my nipple was too big for her to latch onto cause she would get the nipple but not the whole nipple lol. Yeah I cried too everytime I fed her, even though I used nipple cream it only works for so long haha. But I really want to try again. It was still really bonding even though it hurt me, I loved it but I let my pain get the best of me and hopefully this time will be better. Last time I didn't even really pay attention to my lactation consultant because I read so many books that I thought it would go perfect haha so guess Ill listen this time
Goodluck with #3, hope it goes better for you and that pesty mastitis doesn't come back. I never had that but did bleed, and it scared the ever living life out of me. Thought she like took my nipple off lol

AFM: well started af today. She was a few hrs late but not too bad, just excited to start ntnp wish me luck ladies, send us some dust

 

[Abii]

I also had a problem with my nipples not getting(this is embarrassing..haha) hard so she couldn't latch good and I did have nipple shields but I think they were too small or something cause my nipples were hugee

men my dh goes through spurts of no sex drive to a horny dog the next.

Maybe climb into bed nude...lol almost always works for me...unless he is completely exhausted

 

[Kirstiedenman]

See I had the opposite problem my nipples were to small. Lol when I was pregnant my ob told me I had to stretch my nipples in the shower every day to try and get them to not be inverted anymore lol so there I was doin my thing one day and mick walks in gives me this weird look and say what the hell are you doing he never let me live that down. But now that I breastfed for so long they are fine and much bigger than before. I had no top on the other day mick goes holy shit look how big your nipples are you will knock someone out with them hahahhahahha it's not as if there huge but I think because they were always so small and for some reason since I've been pregnant they have been bigger lol.
Aw god the things we talk about!!!

Nope I do that all the time too whatever guess this is just how my marriage is going to be. I should have known from how the wedding night went. Not like we were exhausted either. We had gotten back to our hotel room at like 8ish.

 

[d1kt8r]

Im so uncomfortable today can really sit long coz of the twinges and cramping

 

[daddiesgift]

Sorry Darlin! Have you told him this is how you feel? Men seriously have to be slowly told things over and over

My husband tries to dtd everyday now that he wants another but before whenever we werent both exhausted and kids were in a good mood we so two times a week probably. Crazy sex addicts we are

I think because this upcoming baby will be last im going to really strive to make bfing work. Im nervous as ive become so use to bottle feeding!

I have larger breasts with average sized.nipples but huge areolas (sp?) they should do a.study.on bfing and breast/nipple size!

 

[RedRose19]

All this sex talk makes me jealous!! We dtd maybe once a week if that! I really have no desire this pregnancy to have sex. Jump their bones ladies

im trying to make the most of the bd because my hubby was abit weirded out with the whole pregnancy thing which at the time upset (hormones lol) but i understand now. i think dtd every other day has bumped up both our sex drives! i think u can sometimes just get into a habit of not bd very often well in our case thats what happened were past ov and my dh is wanting to every night now lol


when bf i was gutted because i had a great supply i even donated some milk for other babies in neo natal because i was getting like 10ozs at a time! and he was only on like 2 lol i froze some and donated some. he just couldnt go on the breast after a bottle!

im feeling so bloated today, achey, and woke with a stuffy nose!

 

[Abii]

Okay well maybe I should rephrase that lol, not huge nipples either but huge areola's lol. Do they make different sizes in nipple shields?
Today I am in a pretty good mood, hubby and I had a another 'talk' last night and hes getting excited too, so we want to ntnp for about 2 months and if nothing happens we will start actively ttc again. I am not going to go crazy about it this time though, last time we ttc for our daughter it was pretty exhausting so I might just use some opk's and cm supplements and see where it goes from there. But for now, once af stops its still ntnp:]
Hope you ladies are doing well

 

[d1kt8r]

Ive had another bad night maximus went too the doc again yesterday and has another double ear infection so im ringing the specialist today because I think he needs grommets.
