Re: New Mommies to be May, June & July 2011

...

Hello!

My phone seems to have a problem with this website, been trying to lkog on using my BB.

Anyway,

@Solo, congratulations dear!!!!!!!!

@Thamu, we're waiting for the news!

@Solo, Isn't it amazing that once they are here you don't even have time to process anything (Incl panic), they just keep you so busy.
Re: The BF, i didn't think anything was coming for the first 3 days & my nipples also kept on going flat. I remember wanting to scream at some nurse who kept pulling at them! On the 2nd day i had to ask them to give him formula as i was convinced he was starving! But on the 4th day my milk came in, so something must have been coming out during those first 3 days. So don't give up yet. But as others have already said, BF is not a must. When i went into labour i was still not sold on the idea of BF, it was only once he was out and i saw him sucking on his thumb that i decided to give it a shot.
As for the bleeding, i was also shocked at the very light flow. I honestly expected blood to come gushing out. Mine even stopped around day 5 and started again a day later, but by weeks 2 i was only using liners. But to this day my discharge still has a bit of a yellowish colour. TMI

@Tshepy, 3 months of no action? Hope it won't be that long for me, even though at the moment, the thought terrifies me.

@Esmari, I'm really praying for your SIL.

That's all the personal for now. I'm supposed to be doing some serious research!

Hello everyone!!!

...

Solo - the bleeding will come and go for the next few weeks but mine also wasn't that heavy. As for the breastfeeding - you are doing well. Focus on your decisions and your baby and bugger the Dr and everyone else. No harm in topping up. I think Betty is also doing that now

Karien - I had the SAME thing with Jack. The last 3 days (last night excluded) were HELL He screamed and screamed. Yesterday was by far the worst day - my domestic worker eventually took him and forced me to go get lunch - which I did and had a small cry while I was making it. After that we were all calmer. Last night was MUCH better Day by day hey

Esmari - watch the BH. Anything can happen now Those last few weeks/days seem to go on for ever and ever and ever!!

Morning ladies. Sorry for being mia yesterday, but had a sick dh at home, so spent most of the day in bed with him. Dosed him with viral guard, linctagon c and med lemon. And today I am not feeling to good. My sinuses hurt. I do hope that I am not getting sick.

Solo, congrats on your lb. I hope the meds help with the milk supply, and that bf is successfull for you. You can always get some shampers and celebrate. Hehe. Its great for milk production.

Thamu, any news yet?

Afm. For the past couple of days I have been experiencing extreme preassure down under. Tmi, but its even in my butt! My bh is also much more, and much more intence. Baby is still high and hasn't dropped at all. I think he got something stuck under my left rib. It really hurts there. Is it weird that with every pain I have I wish that waters will just break. I am so gatvol for being pregnant! Well, today in exactly 2w I am having my csection. Seems so far away......
