~*~* July Sunbeams *~*~43 Babies Here So Far!!! 25 Boys / 18 Girls

[Lauki]

Is anyone else breastfeeding here while pregnant? DD is almost 17 months and still breastfeeds often. My nipples have just started to get really sore, wondering how to handle weaning her down to only a few times a day before my nipples get worse!

I'm downing water SO fast lately. I can't stop drinking, I'm always thirsty. I drink a whole glass of water in one or two sips!

With DD, I was really sick all the time from 3 weeks and 6 days. I'm occasionally sick now, but half the time I feel really good! It's just all of a sudden I'll get hit hard with feeling sick, or I'll feel like I just can't stay awake no matter what. It's hard to get used to this all again, even though I just did it two years ago!

I'm still breastfeeding my 17 month old. I think she'd nurse every 30 minutes if I let her. But I never offer and distract her a lot. We're always out and about doing activities, or going for walks, or visiting people. Does that help with your LO? Or does she want to nurse anywhere?

I'm very much looking forward to tandemfeeding a newborn and a toddler! I really hope it works out like that!

Yes, if we're out, she doesn't want it as much. But with the fatigue really hitting hard, it's getting more difficult to keep her out and about. If I ever sit down, she immediately runs over to nurse. I have to stay moving or standing at all times or she's reminded and wants to do it. Even sitting while out in public will make her pull at my shirt. It's just strange, a few months ago I had her down to every few hours and now she's a little nursing addict again!

What do you do about sore nipples? My nipples have been getting steadily more sore and painful with the pregnancy, and DD isn't always the most gentle nurser. I'm not sure how to not go absolutely insane with nursing! I'd like to go all through the pregnancy nursing so it's easier transition with the next one, but I'm not sure how to do it.

Do you have any lansinoh cream or some soothing cream to put on your nipples? Maybe cut down each nursing slowly as you go? Make her nurse shorter every time she latches. So let her latch, give her a couple of minutes. Then unlatch and distract with lots of cuddles if necessary?

Also make sure she's latched properly, doesn't have a lazy latch and has your nipple far in her mouth up to her soft palate so it doesn't rub against hard bits.

I get you with the exhaustion! I'm right in the middle of it now it's dreadful! I still try and take Sophie out in the fresh air if I can, it does make me feel better too when we're finally out. Even if it's just a 15 minute walk around to the park and back!

Hi ladies! I just saw my doctor, she's keeping me till Saturday, possibly Sunday guess its better to be here to ensure baby and I are ok than being home and sick. I can get better meds here. I'm eating a grape Popsicle right now which is the first thing I've eaten in 24 hours. I might get water or juice later tonight.

Hope you lovely ladies are doing well!

Did you have HG with any of your others? There's an HG support thread too if it's help you?

Yes I had it with my daughter. I'll check out the support thread. Thank you!

Np, I and hoping I don't get it this time. Kicked in about 8w with my DS so holding my breath and hoping for a nice pregnancy!! That thread is a little slow but great support, there are also a few HG support groups on FB too

I do have the cream somewhere, I'll have to dig it out! I haven't needed to use it in such a long time. That's a good point, I should check her latch. Often when she bites she seems to barely be on there, but then again she plays more than she seriously nurses. She's definitely doing it for comfort more than anything else, and she doesn't accept any substitutes!

Fresh air definitely helps. We try to go on family walks with the dogs every day, and it cures a lot of the morning sickness and exhaustion. I find that while I'm so terribly sleepy, I'm actually having a hard time falling or staying asleep, and I sleep much lighter lately. I'm sure that's not helping!

Thank you! I have been sorely lacking in updating my blogs, but thanks for looking! I'll definitely be updating a lot more now, there's quite a lot to write suddenly!

The Disney cruise was absolutely amazing, and Disney World is my favorite place on earth! I haven't been there since I was about 16, and I'd love to go back but we won't be able to afford it for quite a few years. My grandmother was thinking of taking my family and my siblings/parents next year, but it looks like we'll have to miss out on that one as dragging an infant around wouldn't be very fun for me. Babies are definitely worth sacrificing trips for though!

sugarbeth- wow battling Ovarian cancer that is something!! im so glad did hear that you made it threw and i seen your cute little family when i was looking threw your blog.
you look like you are living a pretty nice life,looks like hubbys great you got the cutie little girl also i really would like to go on a disney curise!!! actually been just trying to save up for a few years now just to go to disney world but now were gonna have to save up just alittle bit more because now we have another one coming lol but its ok because i would like the new baby to aleast be 3yrs old or atleast be able to walk. i havent been to dinsey world since i think i was 5yr 0r 6yrs old my real dad lives in orland so does his mother :my grandma:,it be nice if when i went up there i could really get in touch with them because i havent seen my grandmother since i was about 2or3 so like its been over 20yrs and that i havent seen my dad in bout 41/2yrs!!

Argh! One tiny tiny blob of brown on toilet paper. Freaking out

its hard not to freak out when you see little bit of brown or red or anything you dont think is normal but im sure your bean is just fine in there actually ive read and been told that spotting can be very normal!! praying all is well just relax

 

[JJsmom]

Lotus, we just got back from my granny's which is a hour and a half drive and looked up the times to see Breaking Dawn part 2!! So we're heading out now to watch it also!! EKKK! I can't wait!!!

Also, my son wore a shirt today that says "I'm going to be a big brother" on it and my aunt and uncle were there and they were really excited for us!!! YAY!!! Now just to tell Oh's family!LOL! I'll leave that up to him!

Hi Ladies- Just been making banana choc chip muffins...busy morning! It takes me a while to catch up on the threads.
Welcome to all the new people and congrats on your pregnancies.
Junemummy so glad you are feeling a bit better...take care of yourself now.
sorry to hear of those still having issues with spotting...I wish doctors would take these things more seriously. It is such a worry and why not just help these women by giving them peace of mind that everything is okay - it is really ridiculous how long they make you wait things out. I remember when we had our Mc in August I sat in the EPCU and they made me hold my bladder for an hour to get a scan then changed their minds and told me to go home and see how things were by the next friday...frustrating!

Did anyone else announce today? I'm glad I did, as I started getting really sick at the meal time! It would have been obvious if we didn't spill right away. I don't hide pregnancy well! lol

After telling them, I put some fun pictures up on facebook. Thought I'd share, I had fun playing with them!

Great pictures..I must get that Joanna Cole book..I have the big brother variety already. Need to get the big sister book so I have the set.

I am 5w1d today and quite a bit of nausea this evening, nothing too bad yet. I have my prescription for diclectin already but not filled it..will wait a bit and hope its not too bad this time.

I feel so bad for you ladies with previous HG, hope you don't get it again.

Welcome to all the new sunbeams...have a wonderful H&H 9 months.

 

[Lauki]

Love your pictures you put on Facebook Sugarbeth!

We'll be buying Sophie a t-shirt with 'Big sister' or something like that for Christmas. For her to unwrap in front of everyone!

Hubby really doesn't want to tell until I'm 12 weeks!

Aww YEY! That's brilliant

 

[Aaisrie]

Saw the GP who hates me, she won't refer me for an early scan as I'm not sick or bleeding. Even after I explained the fertility specialists had asked me to be referred. She said she'd ask for an early booking in, which probably won't be until after Christmas. Obv my losses mean nothing. Obv I could be losing this one right now. Feeling sorry for myself. Anxiety is out of control. Hate that GP.

Horrid! What an idiot.
Try not to worry till you have something to worry about, I know it's not say though.
My spotting deffo gets worse if I do anything too strenuous! It was red clots when I wiped just now.
Stressing me out so much

 

[Aaisrie]

Awww Clo, sorry Are you taking it easy??? I'm just so upset because I was already struggling with my anxiety before I went, had to stop my meds now I'm pregnant and I was bad ON them. Now I'm so worried I'm gonna lose this one and that I'm not even gonna know until NEXT YEAR.... I feel sick.
