Pregnancy after LT TTC #14

[Brunette]

Maggie, GL with your scan next week. If you do give in to temptation and find out the flavour of bub, are you keeping it a secret or sharing

Thanks, Chrissy. I would love to hear the tips on how to handle introducing newborns to pets. I’m (literally) hanging out for my scan tomorrow too GL with yours next week. I find now my OB only takes a couple of seconds at each scan and I want to say, `No, I’m not done yet, give me some more viewing time.’

Juniper, GL with your scan this afternoon. How come a repeat anatomy scan? Hope you enjoy your antenatal classes. I’m going the opposite way with sugar: I love it and cannot get enough of it! Must stop or the 11 kilo weight gain I’ve so far had will well and truly blow out!

WW, try not to worry as when the time comes I am sure your inner strength will kick in and you will make the right decisions for you and your baby. That's a bummer about having permanent thrush and not being able to get rid of it. I hate thrush; it's the pits. You're being so good in avoiding sugar. As I said above, I'm in lurve with it ATM. Very naughty I know.

I’m loving the `going to hell’ conversation. I have found many people to be this way, both online and in real life, and it is one thing that annoys the hell out of me. I firmly believe women should support other women’s choices, whether that is formula or BFing, CS or vaginal, cloth or disposables etc. I have come across some Nazis from the ABA, too, and nearly had a row with one woman when I went to get information on expressing pumps for hire. I was basically told to read some literature on the topic of mixed feeding as it leads to nipple/teat confusion for the babies. My partner is wanting to help me feed the twins for the 10 pm feed (he’s a night owl and I could grab a few hours sleep!) I told her I had read plenty of literature about the topic and a number of experts recommend introducing a bottle early (around 3 weeks) if at some stage you’re going to bottle feed otherwise it can be extremely difficult for them to transition. She made me so cross.
