eves - Monday, 20 October so mainly i need 2 drink lots of water..... n pump after each meal i finally decide 2 eat???create a faux feeding: what does that mean?
roseplus1 - Monday, 20 October I am not seeing such an increase now. I was thinking of doing the goat rue..but I will wait to see how you like it. I am not sure if I am not eating enough or to stressed but I am refusing to give up. I am buying oatmeal this afternoon and I am still going to drink the mothers tea. So maybe the combination will help.
femi - Monday, 20 October I like to think that she spends just as much time with me at this point since I'm home by 4pm, but once she starts going to bed earlier it may make me sadder to not be with her during the day. This is why I am considering this being my last year for a while. I may take a childcare leave (up to four years; no pay, no insurance, but could get part-time elsewhere) come this June.
femi - Sunday, 19 October everything good so far with this sitter. she had two days of sleeping in the bassinet for naps and actually eating! so sorry to hear Michael has a staph infection! what does that look like?
emma-confused - Saturday, 18 October Hi everything went great. I had a good natural delivery. I found a family about 2 months before I gave birth in Arizona. They already had a 4 year old son named Micah is is the cutest little boy. The birth couple was there for the birth. I gave birth to a beautiful little baby girl whom they named Lucy Emma. I was so happy when they told me her middle name. When she was born I did not hold her and haven't since. I felt it would be to hard. I have decided that I don't want to keep the adoption really open. It's just too hard for me. I couldn't handle seeing pictures of her. I told them if Lucy ever wants to contact me she can, but I just want her to have a normal life with her family. I know they are a wonderful family and I couldn't have picked any better. For me, I have been living in New York with my aunt and uncle and cousins. Far enough away from my old life. I just needed a fresh start, where no one can judge and doesn't know me. I hope you and your two beautiful little boys are doing well :)
angmich - Thursday, 16 October thank you so much!! i couldn't imagine losing my baby and having no idea why! it was hard enough knowing what was wrong with my boy. hunter is a beautiful name. my baby was named terry, after my grandfather who passed away a month before. we didn't know if it was a boy or girl until they did tests so we wanted a name that could go either way. i really think that another baby will heal me. people think of it as a replacement child but it is not like that at all. i am glad you understand and i really hope i got my BFP this month too!!
roseplus1 - Wednesday, 15 October Ok, you still get a lot from one side is that during one pumping session? So far I have not seen any real fussiness with Elizabeth. Infact, besides at night around her bedtime she has been the happiest baby. In daycare yesterday they told me all she did was smile and laugh all day...I am hoping that this stays. Please let me know how the goat rue works. I was thinking about getting that one, but I thought it might be more than what I needed. But if she increases her demand, then I might have a problem. Oh how much is your baby eating?
roseplus1 - Wednesday, 15 October Well, I think my supply went down b/c I was really sick with the stomach virus for a week. I am hoping that my supply actually doubles so I an freeze some. I hate living with the fear of giving my baby formula.
roseplus1 - Tuesday, 14 October I am also drinking the tea and taking mothers love more milk plus (which contains fenugreek) I started on Saturday and have seen an increase of bout 1-2 oz per pumping session. I am also going to buy some oatmeal and try that. Hopefully that will help maintain it.
We are saving so much money by breastfeeding!! I do not know what I would do if I had to buy formula it is so expensive. Good luck.
yummy mummy2010 - Tuesday, 14 October hiya hun ur lil boy is geogous
dawnispregz - Tuesday, 14 October bfing is not going well at all, in fact its a no go.....the midwife has said that he just wont suck for it, he expects the milk to be there as soon as he has sucked for it, the latching on is fine and apparently im doing everything that i should be but hes a lazy git!!!!!Lol. So im expressing it into tommee tippee btls and becuase its there hes taking it. I did try, and i dont want anyone to think that i gave up, i tried for 2 days and it got to the point where baby and me were just crying and frustrated and because i was crying he was getting the same vibe and it was vicious circle. He was beginning to lose weight and the result of the first he has ended up with jaundice, i know that newborns have jaundice but he was covered head to toe so we had to go to hospital again two days after being discharged,for blood check, but because i had been expressing it he didnt need the uv light to help break it down so hes getting better, midwife said that he should be fully pink max 48hrs. I dont really care how he gets the breast milk so long as hes getting it, and no one can judge me for that. But i guess ,(reading this as i type) because im forcefully saying no one can judge me then im possibly still dealing with my own disappointment, but we have lots of skin to skin and we love that. Hows everything with you ? x x
belly629 - Tuesday, 14 October I love your story thats awesome! and creative... I need to do something like that! My family is fun and I want to blow them away! I can't wait I'll let you know what I do and how it goes!!
minasuecr - Monday, 13 October Well honestly I didn't feel pregnant or anything. My husband and I weren't really using protection or anything while I was breastfeeding, and because I always thought there could be a slight probability I took a pregnancy test once every 2-3 weeks to make sure I WASN'T. (Because how else would you really know you WERENT when there was no period, right?) Anyway, I think if you exclusively breastfeed, there isn't a real chance until after the baby is 6 months old, but who knows if that is even true or not!!
Hope-n-Joy - Friday, 10 October Hi sweetie, they actually have good info on this site regarding your question of the ttcing forum. Go back to that forum and look on the right hand side at all the subtopics, and you'll see cervical mucus...there is also fertility friend.com, and some others that I can't remember, lol...I hope that helps
Hope-n-Joy - Friday, 10 October Hi, sorry it has taken me so long to respond. my sister had an etopic (sp?) pregnancy it turns out...she had started to feel like a bad mom, like she was doing something to kill her babies, so it was sort of a blessing to have a reason. She said they are only going to try one more time, as she cannot take anymore heart break. Thaks for checking in=)
Alise - Thursday, 9 October they checked my cervix monday and it didnt hurt at all, but the doc said i was gona have some spotting cause she ruptured membranes or did something. after that i had a lil bit of mucousy looking stuff when i went to the bathroom a few times and had to wear a panty liner. so im not sure. i heard you dont always lose or notice if you lose your mucous plug????
