    Hi,

    I'm was a BB member awhile ago and conceived my DS through IVF, and have since conceived naturally and am due in early April. I'm 12 weeks with my first scan on Wednesday (crazy, cause last time I'd had two scans before I hit 12 weeks). I'm feeling well enough, although still occasionally breastfeeding my 2yo and finding that a bit hard as his teeth seem to sink in all the time - and only since I fell pregnant.

    We are hoping for a homebirth through a hospital homebirth program in Melbourne. I've been accepted so far, but I sustained 3rd degree tearing last time and need approval from an Ob and for an uncomplicated pregnancy for ongoing approval.

    I am still stuck not quite believing that I could possibly be pregnant naturally after ttcing so long beforehand, but I'm hoping it might start to feel real after the scan this week. But I have booked in my previous Doula and am excited to homebirth this time.

    I know some of you and still have some of you on FB soooooo...hi

    Looking forward to chatting homebirth and stuff

    Welcome RubyShoes!!! And Big Phat Congratulations on Baking Baby #2!

    I found that DD2 also got a bit more aggressive with the BF after i fell pregnant, i think it was the combo of change in taste and slowing down in production...and it was also just incredibly sore as everything was just.so.sensitive.

    she weaned herself about 4 months ago, but has *just* shown a renewed interest...i'm not keen to restart, but could be handy if i get mastitis again
