I think the worst part of my hospital stay was the conflicting BF info I would get from the nurses. Each one had their own opinion on how to make it work. My friends have all complained about the same thing. I also didn't like getting my boobs manhandled. They'd just come and grab my boobs without even asking.
OMG. I could have written this! I was sooo frustrated with the breasfeeding info. G refused every attempt to feed him, and just got more and more frustrated. One nurse would tell me to pump some colostrum and dropper feed, another would tell me not to pump, but just keep trying him on the boob. Then the 3rd told me to hand express, and fingerfeed, another wanted me to pump into a little bottle for him. Nipple shield, no nipple shield... I was an emotional wreck and so confused. I feel like those first 3 days of inconsistent and downright contradictory information ruined our breastfeeding relationship. I never did manage to get him to breastfeed much, and was in such a depression over it, it was ridiculous! Never again will I put that much stress on my family over something as silly as breastfeeding. I will try again, but if it doesn't work, baby is getting a bottle.
Lovely bump! Im soooo much bigger this time around. Uncomfortable already, my whole abdomen feels tight and heavy.
Good luck with your move Lilly!
Phantom, I feel lots of cervical pressure and what feels like little fingers playing with it. Most of the kicks I feel are directed at my hip. Baby is insistent on being transverse, which is starting to freak me out a little...
im used to a good sleeper lol!
poor baby!
