Hey guys..... so a little bit about myself. I am 25 married to my wonderful husband Scottie of 2 years. I have a 4 year old daughter from a previous engagement, and my husband has 2 boys from a previous marriage. So with this baby we will together have 4 children. Needless to say we are finished!!!!! I am due May 2nd, with a baby girl, which we will name Sadie Madison. We are super excited and so ready to see her precious little face. My step sons are 15 and 9, so they are not at all even interested in the fact that they are going to be brothers again!!!! On the other hand my daughter Autumn is extactic!!!!!! She tells me everyday how much she loves her Sadie Madison......is that not just the sweetest thing you have ever heard, what a dear baby!!! I really hope to make some new friends by joining this site. I feel like I already know some of you guys as I have been following this site since I was about 5 weeks pregnant.

Well I had my monthly appt today and all is great. Baby is measuring about 3 weeks ahead, putting me at around 24 weeks but they kept my due date the same. I definatley can tell I am getting bigger, this morning I lost my breath tying my shoes!!! LOL My sweet little Autumn, said I am not fat I am just a little big. She is so sweet. You can definatley tell I am pregnant now, my husband says it looks like I am getting bigger by the minute. Pregnancy is really good to me, except for the weight gain. Food has never tasted better!!!! I could eat until I make myself sick!!! It seems like time is going by so slowly now.....I am so ready to see what our little princess looks like.

So I had to go to the Dr. today. I now have to go every Tuesday and every Friday until little miss Sadie decides to grace us with her presence. I have a blood clot in my placenta that they are having to watch really closley. It is fun to get to hear her heart beat twice a week and get a sonogram once a week, to see how she is growing. I just hate the drive to the hospital!!! All went well today, I had another NST. I am really ready to see my baby and know she is alright. I just hope I make it to term, to ensure that she can come home with me. I am feeling huge these days, I have already gained 28 lbs, and am now up to a whopping 202 lbs!!!! Feeling a little more depressed than I would like. I guess it is just all the stress, and the demands of a husband and 4 year old. It was alot easier to be pregnant when I didn't have any kids!!!! I can never get off my feet, or take a break. What I would give to have a full body massage!!!! Not to much longer now.....My Dr. said today that if I make it to 39 weeks that he would induce me!! YAY! So that means I will have an April baby. Well gotta go for now I will update later......

The nurse gave me some info at the hospital that says yeast (thrush) can just cause shooting pains in your breast when you nurse. If you don't have a certain tender spot in your breast, it's probably safe to say that it's yeast. I have started taking good bacteria (probiotics) because the antibiotics they gave me during labor for group B strep have knocked my yeast/bacteria balance off. I once fought yeast for 3 years, becasue nothing I did got it under control. It finally left when I went to a whole grain,no sugar diet for a sugar balance problem. But I'm back on sugar again... :( It's kind of like a drug...Extremely hard to kick the habit.

you can continue to breast feed BUT know that you may pass the yeast back and forth to one another for a while. Start on the acidophilous supplement immediately and apply the cream religiously. Change your breast pads if they get at all wet- and use disposible ones until your infection is cleared. Ultimately- your milk is still better for the growth and development of your little one than formula, even with the yeast. Stay off/away sugar (this means complex-carbs as well)- yeast thrives on it!

One of the ladies commenting on the breastfeeding site said "at least you are on an antibiotic". Diflucan is anti-yeast. If the plugged duct or mastitis symptoms sound more like what you have, make your Dr. give you something different!
I hope you feel better soon!

Johna!! Please see my VIP site for breastfeeding tips- but for yeast you need to be taking an acidophilous supplement. You should not give her any of the stored milk unless you are sure its not contaminated with yeast. Otherwise you can pass it back and forth to one another (its in baby's system as well) and you will continue to suffer with it for a long time. I recommend taking acidophilous to ALL women who give birth and breastfeed. We are so prone to yeast infections after birth its not even funny. I've taken this supplement since 36 weeks gestation and so far, no infections. Acidophilous is healthy bacterium from our gut and helps our digestion. Healthy digestion= healthy you!

LOL...I said the same thing. However, we had to be at the hosp at 4am and of course I couldn't sleep even with tylenol PM so I was ready to go at 1! We spent an hour at Wal Mart and then got to the hosp an hour early!! I saw a few of our girls in the talking babies section. It was nice to see some of the familiar names.


brandi0881 - Wednesday, 14 May
Well thank you. I did my hair and make up too, but I was there so long most of it wore off and I go so sick before, during and after she she was born. My sister in law had to pull my hair back. I was puking in a bucket while I was pushing...LOL! It was nuts. That was the worst part of the labor. I hadn't eaten in like 36 hours, so I had nothing but bile to throw up! Sorry, that was really gross I know!


brandi0881 - Wednesday, 14 May
