I think you're right if you go in with an open mind about feeding it's much better. I was so desperate for bf to work - everyone around me bf their babies, all my family bf etc etc blah blah so I felt like it was the thing to do and then when I couldn't I felt like such a failure.
^^^ absolutely agree. I had my heart set on BF'ing, and when the milk didn't come in, I was sooo bullheaded in trying
everything to make it come in, continually getting my hopes up and dashed again, and I was devastated the whole time and it made the first several months with baby completely terrible, emotionally.
This time around, if it happens, great, if not, well, baby needs to grow, so that's what's more important. I feel like I missed out on my son's newborn phase b/c of all the stress and effort wasted on something that wasn't meant to be, so this time, I'm giving it a few days, period.
hi! I am due in Feb 2013 too! But I am really confused because, both the doctors i visited predicted 1st Feb! But my 1st ultrasonogram said 14th Feb! And when my last ultrasonogram 4m lat week said 2nd feb!
Welcome! That's crazy! Which date would you like to be on for the first page of this thread, though?
