I had absolutely no help with BF too.
I was extreamly unprepared too. I have 1 pump which broke quick and I had no idea how to store, warm and freeze it all!

I also had no idea how hard it would be,
How engorged my boobs would become and how important it was to empty them!!

I got mastitis at the 3 week mark and my milk dried up over night. I was so poorly with it and then felt really upset I had to stop bf :(

Ugh, stories like always make me mad! Like, nurses must see ladies struggling EVERY DAY trying to bf, and TONS of people have pain. They always say, 'if it's painful, then something probably isn't right' but instead of offering constructive help (like, checking latch, family history--as I've since learned there are a variety of conditions which can cause pain when bf'ing--tongue tie, etc) they jump on the mother and say stupid things like, "well, it's not supposed to hurt!" Um, DUH! But that doesn't change the fact that it does... instead of getting frustrated try sympathizing with the tired, insecure, defeated mother who is in pain and just trying to figure out how to feed her hungry baby.

On my second day in the hospital (my milk didn't come in until day 5, and I was really worried it never would and the nurses kept telling me how HUNGRY my baby was-- LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!) when I was feeding DS, one of the nurses was like, "um, doesn't that hurt?" I responded with, "no... but it's not supposed to, right?" She just kind of shrugged and left and I was like... what a useless comment to make. Sometimes nurses just need to learn when to keep their mouths shut if they can't say something constructive, because of course then I spent the next few days (as my milk wasn't coming in) obsessing over how I must have been doing it wrong and would never be able to bf, etc etc.

Ok so the first bit made me totally yell out, cause I don't know how many of them said that to me. They would go over and over his latch and say "he is on right, don't know why it should hurt" UGH!!!

A tip from my aunt that swears by it, as she too had problems with her milk coming in with her first and did this with her second and third. Have DH sneak in a beer made with hops (sorry I am not familiar with beer as I don't drink it) and drink it. Apparently the hops can help with bringing in you milk faster. Never tried it as I have always disliked beer.

Yes and I too obsessed especially with my 2nd. He was another story all together. I felt so bad and felt like I was a major failure. With my first wasn't so bad as my nipple falling off was enough for anyone to be ok with not BFing.
 
I've been lurking a lot lately, and not to change the subject or anything BUT..... THIRD TRIMESTER!!!

Gorgeous bump!!

and I also just looked at my ticker and realized I'm into double digits :) Woo hoo!
 
Double digits for me too as of yesterday! Crazy to think just 3 ish months yet! But at the same time 3 more months if being uncomfortable more and more lok
 
Wow today I am having a woes me kinda morning. I hate hormones. Yesterday morning I was biting everyones head off LOL. BLAH
 
I threw up last night!?!

But on happier news passed my GTT and my 28 week bloods are all normal! :)
 
yay! I passed my GTT too :) x

4D re-scan tomorrow, cannot wait, but kind of dreading something going wrong again lol x
 
My 4d scan was tomorrow but they've cancelled as the machine is broke. Not impressed considering I've paid for it already, was looking forward to it and they can't tell me when the money will be returned.

Thankfully found another clinic who are seeing me on Sunday!

Had a bit of a nightmare week, dental abscess came back with a Vengeance so had to have an X-ray. The risks are low according to the dentist, and if I left it I could have been risking pre term labour, so felt I had no choice. Feeling a bit sad and down.

Hope everyone is doing well x x
 
Baby shower is tomorrow. I am stoked and totally nerve wrecked at the same time. I have no idea if any one that I invited will show up, not even my own brother is coming...and I have no idea if I am going to get any of the things I really need. I want a boppy so bad this time it would have been awesome with DD1. I can't believe I have just a little less than 12 weeks to go till baby is here. I am getting super anxious.:thumbup:
 
I've been Away for awhile. Had a terrible bug spent two days with diarrhoea and vomiting glad that's over. 27 weeks now :) I can't believe how fst this pregnancy is going. Me and my ex are giving things another go he's not the father of my baby but he is the father of my other to kids. It's really nice I'm really happy for the first time in ages. He's being really good about my pregnancy to. Hope all you ladies r doing ok. :)
 
Saw baby today, he was measuring 28wk 4 days and weighs 2 lbs 11 oz. I am getting a bio physical profile in two weeks, I'm not sure why he didn't say anything was wing with the baby. He's in the 57th percentile. I guess it's because of my high bp. Any how I am going every two weeks now. Im sure if he suspected anything to be wrong he would have told me right?

Usually starting at 30 weeks you start going to see the Dr every two weeks. It is normal in that sense. If you have high BP then they are just wanting to see if baby is affected by it is all. Also 57% is actually pretty good!! I wouldn't worry too much. That could be because of genetics more than anything. Hope baby doesn't get too big for you ;)
 
I'm feeling so sick. Stomach cramps, dry heaving. & diarrhea. Never had this while I was pregnant. Awful.
