August Mummies 2011 - 28 baby boys, 14 baby girls, and 4 beautiful angels so far xxx

[Mummy~L]

Hi Im Letitia, due my second on 1st August. Have alread had one scan and have another on 26th January. Had my first midwife appointment yesterday where she just filled in lots of forms!

My son Bobby will be 21 months when the next baby arrives - it is exactly the age gap we had hoped for!

We found out the gender with Bobby and I hope to do the same this time but my OH is going to need a bit of convincing as he would like a surprise this time.

xx

its starting to get busy in here now!!! Cant belive how many of us will have a 20 or so month gap between little ones.

So how is everyone feeling atm? I have not really had many symptoms this time round (which is a god send, as I was so sick up until 6mts last time) Just quite tired this time round. But I suppose that is to be expected chasing after a 13 mth old as well as being preg!! haha

Hi hannpin I've been really tired too, started taking iron tabs cos I think it's aneamia again, and it is starting to help but I still need a nap every day!

Got midwife this afternoon so will see what she recommends

Random bit of information for everyone regarding breastfeeding:

Must admit it's made me feel a bit better. I so wanted to breastfeed my daughter but had a traumatic pregnncy and emergency section a month early. Not only would she not latch on, but expressing got me nowhere either. It turned out that due to all the complications my body didn't produce the hormone needed to begin colustrum/milk production at all and I was gutted about that and have questioned the fact I've had to use formulae ever since, although she did and still does thrive from it. But it's nice to have it confirmed that actually I haven't failed her

Hey tjw, I had a similar experience with DD, I felt I tried so hard with her to BF, but she would just not have it, and after being told she was going to be taken in to SCBU if she did not stop loosing weight at 48 hrs old I gave in an gave her some formula. However I was made to feel such a failier by my midwife and MIL. So the research reported about it quietly cumforting to me also
