Hi all, I don't post here often but need some advice, or maybe a kick up the back side...not sure which.
A little about me. I had my first daughter at barely 16. (She is now nearly 8) I had planned to breast feed her all the way through but after a difficult labour she was given a bottle. I asked the next morning if I could breast feed her and was told there was no point!!!! It was only when she was 2 that this really started to play on my mind, I contacted the hospital and complained, thankfully, due to my complaint its all changed now and they go back to parents the next morning and double check if they would like to breast feed.
Last year I lost my son at 25+5 weeks pregnant, again I had planned to breast feed him and never got the chance.....2nd time I had failed
Now I am 26+6 weeks pregnant and terrified that I am destined to fail at breast feeding yet again. I am so so pro BF. I actively encourage my friends to at least try it once but I am so worried I wont be able to do it, that it will be painful, that I wont have any support!!
The local breast feeding group only meets once a month, what if I need help in-between then? Can I attend the group before my baby is born? to pick up tips and advice? I am just so confused so any advice would be great
