April Munchkins 2013- enjoying our wonderful babies!

Forums New posts
I know what you all mean about not getting breast feeding support! I started out breastfeeding our oldest, and hubby was supportive. However, I really had no clue what I was doing, and didn't give it enough time. Then I realized that whenever we went visiting at a relative's house, I usually ended up getting sent to a room by myself. I was still trying to master getting him latched on under a blanket without anyone seeing everything. I had severe post partum on top of it, so being sent to a room by myself just added to it, and I gave up after only 2 weeks.
 
It's quite busy in here and I will try to catch up a bit. I just got my 1st BFP on Monday and am very excited and trying to figure this all out. My EDD is 4/23/13.
 
Im really hoping to be able to breastfeed my next LO for more than 2 months (that's as far as I got with DS:cry:) I know more about it now so this time I feel more prepared.
 
After 7 losses :( we are down to 156 :hugs: very sad! NO MORE LADIEA THAT'S AN ORDER
 
It's awful that so many get lost along the way :( I've been there myself 3 times now and it's so hard.
 
i bottle fed my 1st bf my 2nd till 13 months and juts finished feeding my son of 13/14 months also. i qualified as a bf peer too :)

those who want to bf and havent tried yet.
no one tells you the truth about breast feeding! you hear horror stories as some of you ahve mentioned, infact there not horror stories its reality :(
because you and your baby ahve to learn to bf its takes longer and harder and its soo exhuasting too!
with correct latching and support form your hv and mw and ppl at the hospital you can get through the pain, tiredness and successfuly bf :)
remember to state on your notes youd like to try breast feeding that way you can get it started as soon as possible!

its an amazing bond to have, when youve passed the first few difficult months its becomes 2nd nature the confidence will come when you have the confidence to feed in the house. youll learn ways to discreet feeding.
what some ppl dont realise is bf babies gain weight pretty fast (chubby) but by six months this changes they slow waaaayy down. which is why bottle fed babies weigh more at 7-8 months

any questions or help im sure those who have bf and i will be able to enlighten you with some info and answers :)
 
well... still waiting for some pregnancy symptoms only thing i seem to have is niggly pains on right side :( nothing painful im fed up with this 12 wk wait! mw on tuesday cant come quick enough!!!
 
I am so looking forward to more breastfeeding. This is my first pregnancy (since my first child was born) that I'm not breastfeeding through...actually it's the first time in 6.5 years that I'm not breastfeeding (and the first time in 4.5 years the I'm not breastfeeding at least 2!). So it feels very strange...and it wasn't intended to be this way, but after my ectopic surgery, my son stopped because I physically couldn't nurse him. So it was sad that it ended that way. :( One thing I do look forward to this time is getting a "fresh" start. I've been dealing with thrush off and on for like 3 years, but I recently got on top of it- hopefully for good- and it will be nice to start BF'ing again without having to always worry about it.

I am also working on LLL Leadership. Anybody else do that?

Hi Maria

Welcome :) and congratulations on the exciting news!

Hi everyone! I found out yesterday that I was pregnant! It's so crazy and I can't get over how it all happened.

I had been trying for a baby with my husband for over a year. I was diagnosed with PCOS earlier this year. I knew it was going to be a very long journey. I had scheduled to go to a specialist on September 24th to see what we could do about helping me get pregnant. Then I found out yesterday that I was pregnant thanks to the digital test.

I couldn't believe it.

I'm thinking that I am looking at a April 21st or so due date. My first appointment is September 4th.

Right now I'm a basket of nerves. I keep thinking...is this real? Am I really pregnant? Is it a chemical pregnancy? What if I miscarry?

Hi Ladies I've been hiding all week as my spotting turned into a full on bleed. I had a scan yesterday and it was confirmed that I had miscarried. I am devestated, but despite the fact that it has taken 2 years and 1 Ivf with icsi to get my first ever bfp we are not ready to give up.

I want to wish you all the best with your pregnancies and hopefully I'll be able to join you again in the not too distant future.:cry:

I'm so sorry, I know the dissapointment is heartbreaking. Wishing you a sticky bean in the very near future.:hugs:

Ambivalent, I'm so sorry to hear your news. I hope you get a :bfp: very soon
 
Hi Ghinspire, Well done and congratulations. I found out a week ago and I'm still in the amaze phase. I get little flurries of excitement from time to time and then now and again I have to remind myself that it's real.

Excited for you:happydance:
