Ditto Ambah! That, along with our long-term Bfing issues, has been the biggest change for me. And coming to terms with having a prem baby, though to a lesser extent than the other issues.
I expected everything else. I KNEW that I would be sleep-deprived etc etc, all the other things you girls have mentioned. I did expect to have some 'normal' amount of difficulty in establishing BFing, but I didn't expect that at 3.5 months it would be perhaps even more tricky, and not likely to improve in the near future. I assumed that because I wanted it so much, and was prepared to work on it, that it would eventually come together. It took me 10 weeks to realise that it doesn't always work like that.
And yes, the loss of sense of self, is somewhat surprising to me. Not in a bad way, it has just been unexpected. I knew I would be besotted with him, but I didn't really realise that my every thought and movement would revolve around him.
