Cassidy I'm so happy that your GD test was negative Lol you are lucky to get to know what's coming ahead of time. I had no clue that I'd get another scan until he quickly went over the plan for the next few weeks. So stoked! Can't believe I've got only 7 weeks left. Now that you're in the double digits it's gonna go soooo fast

 

[TTCaWee1]

Yay Cassidy for no gd!

Marley is beauteous!

AFM I think AF is coming back. Started spotting today. No cramps though. I haven't bled in 2 weeks or so. Not sure what that's about but I'm not happy about it bc my mom just left and I landscaped in preparation for some no baby making sex. Hmmph.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Does anyone else get little black spots in thier vision if they stand up too quick from being bent over? I've noticed this recently and didn't really give it much thought, but I was just reading some articles about Pre E and it warns about vision changes... does this quailify as a "change" in vision?

They always check my BP and proteins, so I'm honestly not that worried, but if it could be a warning sign, I defintiley want to bring it up at my next appointment. I get the normal swelling of the ankles, and sometimes I swear my calfs look a little bigger but I sit at a desk all day with my feet dangling. I try to put them up as much as I can.

Just wondering what you ladies think?

Rachel- I totally got spotting 2 weeks after bleeding stopped!! But mine never turned into af. I also got spotting 4 weeks after labor bleeding stopped .. Never turned into more either. Hmmm.... Since then never spotted again. My labor bleeding stopped at 6 weeks pp. I hope u aren't getting af!!

Britt- id say something! Won't hurt. When is next apt?

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Next appointment is Next friday May 2nd. I really hope it's nothing (which i'm pretty sure it's not) because my mom is leaving THAT day for vacation and I have to stay at her house to take care of my disabled grandmother!

 

[goldstns]

That is far off.. I'd call and say something sooner. They will just do a pee test and bp. Pre-e can come up fast....even if u get checked every apt. It can happen over night. And what I understand is its a big deal.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I'd get checked Britt
Cassidy yay awesome news!
Sonia I pronounce it sahra.
I fed my pain with cinnamon rolls today.

 

[goldstns]

Cassidy- I meant to tell u congrats on passing gd test!! Sandy and I can tell u all its awesome to NOT have it.

 

[goldstns]

Rachel- hows the milk production coming along?

 

[Disneybaby26]

Nursing/pumping mamas-does one boob produce more than the other?? I'm getting 4oz on righty but only 2.5-3 on lefty?

 

[clynn11]

I agree Britt, I'd call and mention it and see if they want you to come in. I've read those vision changes can lead to pre-e. My cousin went from having totally normal urine to having super high levels at her 31 week apt. and having to deliver at 32 weeks. Not trying to scare you but definitely better to be safe! Hope it's nothing!!

 

[goldstns]

Kara- absolutely! My rt makes more too! But Alia likes my left boob better....

 

[Disneybaby26]

Thanks Nikki, just trying to not end up lopsided!! LOL

 

[TTCaWee1]

Kara - thats an awesome amount! My left boob produces more usually 2-2.5 oz and my right does 1-2 oz. My boobs suck.

Nikki - My milk still sucks. I just hope I'm one of those people who get less with the pump than the baby gets. I'm thinking of calling the LC at my pediatricians office and have them do a feeding weight. She's taking 4-4.5 oz of breast milk by bottle and sometimes after breastfeeding I have to give her 2-3 extra ounces because she screams and roots so I know she's still hungry. Other times she is satisfied and passes out. It is so frustrating. Part of me wants to pump and bottle feed but the other part of me knows that it's much easier to pull my boob out and feed her. My spotting was nothing more than the little bit earlier so I think it's just spotting. It doesn't feel like AF. Guess we shall see in the next few days.

 

[wavescrash]

You'll always produce less when pumping than they get when actually feeding. The pump isn't as strong as the baby's suck nor does it suck the same way as the baby does.

 

[goldstns]

I agree, baby can get more milk out. After breast feeding when you top off with a bottle is it breast milk or formula? If she can take 4-4.5oz a feeding that's awesome!! There is a 6 month old at alia's daycare that won't even take 4 oz and docs r trying to get her to eat more.

I just started taking fenugreek pills. I'll let u know how it works.
