Linda - I know exactly where you are coming from I tuely do!
I had an emerg c-section not the natual birth that I had my heart set on and I never made any milk at all and after being told it will come and it never did went to FF - Bella is a beautiful alert and amazing 6 month old that is in the 97th percentile for all her stats - I cant ask for more that that of my baby girl.
No matter how they get here or how they are feed as long as they are loved that all that matters!!
I hope you feel better and you are a wonderful mummy! Please feel free to PM me anytime and I have and still am going through all that you are.
Tigger - I just wanted to clarify something, because I'm sad that you felt you couldn't post about things on the forum, but also to make sure it wasn't me that made you feel you couldn't.
I'm always the first to point out that expressing can be stressful ( hence my assumption ), because I think it can be (it certainly was for me), and because I hate seeing anyone beating themselves up if they find it hard. I'd never imply that expressing can dry your milk up, cos I don't believe it does and that's the last thing anyone would need to hear when they are struggling with feeding their baby no matter how they feed them.
DS ended up being FF too - I felt in a jam when it came to posting about it because I didn't want to offend any FF'ers because I hated it so much .
Lulu not just one person hun a number of comments with my CS and FF decisons had made me feel unsure about posting. And I in no way want to point the finger at anyone for making it uncomfortable.
It is a long journey after IVF and a not so easy preg
