I had my son on sunday. I exclusivly bnttle feed. It is much easier, less time consuming, they feed a little less, and your hubby can help you and bond with the baby. Not only that but u can go out and not worry about being home right away if someone watchin him as u have formula and dont need to rely on whatever breastmilk u left for them. Ur not a bad mom at all. My baby has been awesome and feeding is just as special. =)

With my son the pain of breastfeeding was so unbearable that I had to quit after a few days. I felt like such a horrible mother, that I was putting my needs ahead of his, and that I was a weenie, etc. but I had a lot of support. My son is now 2 and wasn't even sick once until almost a year old. He's bright, all that good stuff. Don't kill yourself over it, your baby will be just fine.

i wasn't able to breast feed cause i didn't produce milk with my first, so i bottle fed, and yeah we all know that breast feeding is better for the baby, but it is alright to bottle feed i know alot of ppl that have only bottle fed and their baby has come out just fine. my advice to you is do what you want and what you are comfortable with!! good luck with the new baby, i am in week 30 and can't wait to meet my little man!!!

I breastfed mine, and hope to again with this one, but hey, if you're not comfortable with breastfeeding, you and baby will definitely be better off using a bottle. No point struggling with breast if it's just not for you. You may just get resentful and frustrated - feeding time should first and foremost be a positive experience for both you and baby... Go with your instincts. And bottles have the huge advantage of your husband being able to feed her, too!

Firstly congrats on you baby, secondly NO don't ever think that you are a bad mom for not breast feeding. With my first I tried so hard to breast feed but I stopped in the end because my nipples bled, That was after a day and a half. I remember the pressure I felt to breast feed, from the doctors, the midwives, older women, my family and other mums. I ended up bottle feeding and I was much happier. You do get a lot of pressure from other people, but it is your body and your baby and the last thing that a new mum needs is stress and pressure. I am going to bottle feed this baby (when he decides to come out!), I know now that I am not a bad mum for not breast feeding and nor are you. Do what you want to do and stuff everyone else. Good luck!

I feel like a shut in too! I hate how antisocial I've become. I'm sure it is normal. Also, when you worry about the pain of labor try to remind yourself that every human you see got here the same way and people keep having kids so it can't be that bad! You will do great.

This time last summer I was camping with friends, telling ghost stories by a fire and getting drunk ... although those days are over I look forward to enjoying wine pretty soon

I haven't had my contractions come that frequently, however, I know what you mean by having those pains and not knowing what it is. Mine were mostly gas pains, but I was suffering from BH contractions last week.

i sleep with a body pillow between my knees. it was helping until this week. it feels like its pinching. i have to get up at night and walk around every hour, then go back to bed again. even now, sitting, standing walking, everything hurts!

Well, the c-section was moved up to tomorrow. He is still breech, I am about 2cm, my cervix is way soft and I was bleeding after my exam today. My OB thought he was in position this am but sent me for u/s to confirm and he is still breech. We can do the section tomorrow or maybe go into labor before the 10th and have an emergency section. Are you sched for csection? I am just so nervous and upset...this is not what I envisioned...makes me feel all out of sorts.

Hey there! Did you finish out the school year at work? I was reading your transverse comment...I too found out that our little man is still breech last week. Apparently, as of today, he is still breech. Feels transverse to me but may be Frank Breech. I am so scared as well! I DO NOT want a c-section. My Ob today said she won't even offer a external version because she has not had much success with first babies. I have been in a funk all day and just don't know what to do at this point...oh, and I'm suffering from Carpal Tunnel now and my right hand is numb most the time! Let me know if you find out anything. I've been looking at ways to turn him at home but am thinking that most of these are "Old Wives Tales"

Hi there, answers to your questions... firstly the mucus plug just comes away/out like a bog blob of discharge (sorry for the tmi) with bits of blood in it,. when i had my son my plug came out about 12 hrs before i had my son and from what i remember it looked kinda purple colour and about a 50p size but im guessing everyone will be different,. also with the bh contractions, yes i think they are what you are experienceing.. they can hurt at times, ive had them with both my 1st pregnancy and also this one from very early on (14wks) and i get them every day at least 10-20 times, they are tighening of your stomach muscles preparing for labour. and are uncomfortable. but trust me hun, you WILL know the difference between them and the real thing. ... hope i helped xx
