Don't beat yourself up about it. You've been trying so hard to do what's best for your bub and that's what counts. Jonathan will be just as happy with formula as breast milk, as long as his belly is full.

Prayer my daughter was bf and a 30 weeker she was transferred back to my local hospital at 32.5 weeks gestation we started bf but kept the nose line in she came home at 35+3 weeks gestation after bf exclusively for 3 days I had a pead and a home visit nurse for the first few weeks at home

@prayerful yesss oooo, to term that is the goal.
@tink loved your bump pregression wish i had such dedication i would have done the same.
@Ich i am sorry you are going through this bfing is not as natural as most make it seem, its really hard at times, whcihever decision you make i wish you and J the best of luck.
as for me i had my appoinment with the usual ultrasound today baby is measuring 4 pounds 5 ounces, i was so schocked i told her dad she's a giant considering my son only weighted 1 pound 10 ounces @ birth. We even scheduled my csection for the last week of March. I asked my Dr. If i did go early what is the minimum week i would avoid NICU and she said 35 weeks so that is my next goal.

 

[lch28]

thanks ladies. im trying to accept it. i just nevre thought there would be difficulties lol

abigoma jonathon weighed 4lb2oz at 31 weeks and 7lb2oz at 36 weeks. he woulda been a 9 pounder if i made it to my induction at 39 weeks

@Ich dont get to down in the dumps bfing is not easy and unfortunetly its made to look like its so natural and every baby is just a natural feeder and that is so not the case. My friend had a full term baby and he just refused to bf she was just beside herself but the little guy never took to the breast despite all efforts he just preferred his bottle. So i got my CS scheduiled for 38 weeks thats teh latest they want me to go because of my previous cs, im just hoping to get to 35 weeks

 

[wunderful78]

Ich I agree with what the other ladies have said , I've known mums to bf then have their third or forth child and it just didn't work out , these mums are been thee before professional hehe breast feeders lol, I'm having my second baby and I will also try bf but if I can't I will be upset just like you are ..... But you know what you've done such a fantastic job cooking johnothan and the mum you are shouldn't reflect boob or bottle hun x

Any tips on keeping you're supply if breast milk when you're pumping?? My lo is in nicu and I want to build my supply while she's there... It's so hard to make it to the pump every 2-3 hrs. Is every 4 hours bad?

 

[ShelbyLC]

Have you asked the NICU if they have a pumping room? Mine did and I never even realized it until the week the girls went home. Would have made life so much easier.

Every 2-3 hours during the day is ideal, but I know how hard that is. I definitely wouldn't go more than 4 hours between pumps in the day and 5 at night. Drinking (cow's) milk is supposed to help your supply, as well as eating oatmeal.

I wish I could offer more advice, but I don't really have any. Mine just came naturally.

 

[sweetbuthyper]

well looks like i'm officially joining you guys cervix dropped to 2.6 and funneling, booked in for a stitc tomorrow morning. fx all goes well for me a bean

 

[Tink_0123]

Sweet, GL on your stitch placement tomorrow!

Prayer and Ich, no advice on bf'ing or maintaining your milk supply, but I hope the both of you are able to figure something out that will work best for your situation

Baby, hope everything went well in your stitch removal.

I hope the rest of you ladies are doing great and still cooking those precious babies to all.

Have any of you ladies had any sinus problems during pregnancy I think mine are acting up my ears hurt so much

Havent had any ear pain, but I do have a stuffy nose most of the time which makes it a bit difficult to breathe.

Are you feeling anything other than ear pain??

 

[DAYDAY24]

Stuffy nose and head feels cloudy

 

[Agiboma]

@day i have sinus issues been batteling with teh flu for over a month now and prior to that stuffy nose, no advice just wanted you to know your not alone.
@prayerful i pumped every four hour with an automated madela pump and my supply really came in i even woke up int eh night to do it and drink lots of water, oats and i heard dark beer also works well.

 

[Tink_0123]

Day, I think it might be a common pregnancy symptom or you might be coming down with something. Sorry im not much help.. Hope the discomfort eases sweetie.

Abi, hope you feel better from your flu
