Shantehed- How are you holding up? I saw your post on facebook.. Hope your feeling better.
Ok so what I thought I heard yesterday on my doppler was my own heartbeat.
I can't find babies heart beat yet. Im a little freaked.
Oh don't worry! My doctor couldn't even find a heartbeat with his doppler when I was 15 weeks! It takes time, the heartbeat is still soo tiny at this point.
So I gotta say I love breastfeeding but man it is TOUGH! I mean, we've both gotten the hang of it and my nipples are even getting used to it but I have been getting sooo little sleep, it's exhausting!
Sometimes he'll only go 45 minutes between feedings at night! Not to mention my milk supply is out of control. I was feeding him on one side yesterday and when he finished and I got up, half of my shirt and my bra was completely soaked through, I'd been leaking from the other side and had no idea. I even had a nursing pad in and it soaked right through. I took a nice long hot shower, got out and was STILL leaking! Then this morning I was feeding him laying in bed and soaked right through my sheets from leaking. I'm getting the feeling this lil guy is going to gain weight pretty fast. He's eating great, getting tons of milk and is spitting up very very little. Yay
Healing seems to be going very fast thank goodness. The first few days were hell. I tore so they had to stitch me up which has been very unpleasant and I was extremely swollen but it's gone down quite a bit. I also had excruciating lower back/butt pain but that's starting to ease up too.
I can't wait until you ladies have your babies!!
Hope you ladies are all doing well
