Ashleyk im also breastfeeding one of my twins still
Though we are currently in the process of weaning as the last few weeks my supply (which is normaly good) has been plummeting and now there is barely nothing there.
he was feeding whenever he asked which was morning afternoon evening and over night (we co sleep)
my supply is gone almost because of the pregnancy and I feel a bit bad because he still keeps trying and he gets a bit sad when he doesnt get much so im trying to make the trasition easier on him by not offering it and trying to keep him distracted.
I dont refuse when he asks but he is asking less and less now and we have more cuddles instead.
at bed times he still does it and falls asleep, im not sure how we are going to stop that :/

he is two in a few weeks so it was around the time I planned on weaning anyways.

I think its quite common for your supply to drop during pregnancy so maybe your lo will do it less if that happens?

I co-sleep with my daughter as well and about two months ago I reached my breaking point with her bf'ing at night-she wanted to do it every 2 hours! I was tired and exhausted and finally made a point to do no middle of the night breastfeeding. If she was thirsty I handed her a cup of milk. And believe me, she fought tooth and nail against it that first week. Sadly, lots or tears were spilt, but after that she has been great with her sippy at night! I felt like I got a piece of my sanity back!

I just can't imagine doing two babies at a time, one was rough enough! I don't think she is even breastfeeding to get anything out, just the little suckling relaxes her, that's why we do it only before bedtime now.

I definitely felt movement tonight. We were at the movies and it felt like baby was doing flips. It seems so early for that, but I know that it was the baby because it was right where they found the heartbeat yesterday.

Thanks! I will give it a go with the cup at night.

Its the comfort sucking I need to break sounds like its the same for you also. Good luck!

Oh and btw our girl twin is a pleasure to deal with lol she goes down in her own bed at night and had been sleeping through recently and has normal milk I would of gone bat crazy if they both did this haha

It may seem early but it probably was the baby!! How exciting.

 

[mommyberry]

I was wondering what happened to all our tickers! Looks like the bump website is down for maintenance!

 

[ljo1984]

My youngest stopped feeding just before two and at that point was just bed time, prior to that morning and bed. X

I just woke up choking on bile being coughed up without warning. It was very, and still is scaring me. I'm not sure why it happened, and now my stomach and back ache. My only theory is that I keep waking up on my stomach. I am a true stomach sleeper, but have managed to sleep on my left side, for the most part since I found out I was pregnant. Occasionally I will wake up on my back, but that's no big deal, and I plan on getting the pregnancy pillow by the time I hit 16 weeks.

Anyone know anything on why this happened? I have a doctor's appointment on Monday, so I'll ask my doctor then, but an idea of what happened now would be great!

That must've been so scary Poor thing. In pregnancy the valve between your stomach and oesophagus that keeps stuff from backing up relaxes quite a bit, which is why we're prone to heartburn. It might be that that's caused the bile to come up? That's the only anatomical explanation I can think of for it. Your doctor will undoubtedly know more. I hope you don't get that again!

Oh honey sounds scary. No idea what could have caused it, sorry.
I'd invest in a pregnancy pillow sooner, it really does help with getting comfortable. I had one with dd2. I am also a tummy sleeper, and find it hard to get comfy myself.
Hope your doctor can give you answers

I've got a little bump. You would not be able to tell because I'm small anyway. I was a UK size 8 and now I'm in elastacated UK 10.

I noticed your siggy says your are still breastfeeding- I was curious how often are you still breastfeeding ? My 18 month old only wants to do it before she goes down to sleep and I am looking to wean her soon as I do not want to breastfeed bth. I know many women do, but I find it exhausting!

Not normally more than once during the day and that's normally if he wants a nap. He goes a couple of days a week not feeding in the day at all. He still wakes in the night for a feed by a feed I mean 2-3 on average. On the odd night I'm lucky and it's just the 1. My DH did not sleep through the night until he was 5. I never planned to be breastfeeding at 3. Once upon a time I would of probably thought it was wrong. I just failed at weaning. Good luck.

 

[Mushymilkfor2]

Thank you Mrs eleflump and yo-yo.

It's been a few hours and I do feel better, so im not as worried, I think it was more the shock of being woken up so suddenly. I'm still going to ask my doctor about it, but what you said Mrs eleflump sounds like it could be right. And I think I will get that pregnancy pillow sooner rather than later now!

 

[Laelani]

Yo-Yo that's so exciting - baby boy!!!

In terms of the sickness, I got lucky in that department so to speak. I didn't have any morning sickness or any pregnancy related sickness at all. However, with my immune system being awful from the start and now worse with pregnancy I catch every single cold and flu going. So in a way I would almost rather the morning sickness.

From time to time I can feel flutters from baby and occasionally baby likes to make his/her way under my ribs and has for a bit. Also I have had very strong feelings that it's a girl since early March. We will find out in 3 weeks if I am right.

I'm not great at weaning either I think I am going to try a new approach with the baby to be...pumping more perhaps

Yo_yo - Congrats on the gender confirmation! Now your family is complete with girls and boy!!!

I've been wearing a lot of yoga pants!

I'm having mild cramping/stretchy feelings the last couple of days. No spotting but every new feeling has me worried. I read your uterus starts stretching around this time. Could that be what it is?

I get sharp pains in the abdomen while tossing or turning sideways on bed. Is this something like stretching or something to worry about? Its been 10 days since I saw the LO on scan and these pains now have me worried if all is well in there.

I've had this happen a few times as well. Almost always when I'm rolling over in bed. Scared me as well! But meet had any bleeding or spotting with it so I assume it's all part of the deal.

Is anyone still throwing up? I'm 15 weeks tomorrow, and still losing my breakfast nearly every day. It seems to be getting worse, not better

I haven't had much morning sickness but I've felt more nauseous the last week or so. Brushing my teeth is the worst. I almost always feel like I'm going to throw up when I brush. Blah. Hope it gets better for you!

Hi Ladies, is it alright if I join?

I'm due 30th September and as this is my first baby I've got a feeling he or she will be late, especially if they take after their mum as I'm late to everything

I'm Vicky, 21 and from Chester but my OH is from East London so we spend time between the two.
I've thought we're having a boy since the beginning but starting to get the feeling we may be having a little girl

Welcome!

It sounds like heartburn. I'm overweight and have had heartburn issues for years. Sometimes if I eat the wrong foods too close to bedtime this happens to me. I startle myself awake and sit up like a flash and have to choke back the burning blech to keep from hurling everywhere. It's miserable! Try to avoid acidic foods in the evening before bed. Tomato sauces are terrible for me and heartburn. Keep some tums by the bed as well and it helps to be a bit propped up on an extra pillow or two. Heartburn is miserable Definitely mention to your doc but that is what it sounds like to me. Maybe they can put you on a prescription heartburn med to help. Good luck!

 

[MamaMac123]

I'm still convinced we're having a boy and a girl. I've had people say all my crazy food cravings indicate at least one girl. I had another dream last night about a baby boy. In this dream it was weird though because I had this little newborn boy but I was currently pregnant with my twins haha not sure how that happened!

It's weird though. In all my baby dreams my brain always makes reference to the fact that I'm having twins but I still have yet to have a dream where I actually see both babies in the dream...like my subconscious hasn't wrapped itself around this fact yet that there will be two!

 

[AllStar]

Hello ladies, can I join please? I'm pregnant with number three after a miscarriage in December. Due 11th October at the moment but have my dating scan tomorrow. Both nervous and excited for scan, fingers crossed all goes well. Will try and read a few pages back to catch up a wee bit. Look forward to talking with you all

 

[GeralynB]

Welcome Allstar!

I had a dream last night that I went for a scan and they told me I was having twins. I was like no that's impossible, I've had 3 scans already and they told me there was only 1 baby in there!

 

[SisterRose]

Welcome Allstar. So sorry for your loss last year, hoping all goes well tomorrow I also have my dating scan tomorrow.

Geralyn - I had an early scan and they dated me 5+4 which would make my due date 28th October too! The only thing is I was tracking OV and know when I ovulated and also it'd mean that I got my BFP at only 7dpo if they're right which is possible but less possible than when I think I got it at 9dpo so I will see who is right tomorrow and maybe we will be due date buddies :O
Also on the line of twins I keep freaking out and wondering if it's possible they missed a twin in there with my scan being so early, there was barely anything to see just a tiny heartbeat and I can hear heartbeats in two places on the doppler. The most logical explanation for that is I'm hearing an echo through the cord or just hearing baby from a different angle. But it would be a shock to find more after only expecting the one eh?
