Starry, don't ignore it if your feeling depressed hun. If venting here isn't helping then ring one of the help lines and talk it out. I know it's common, but that doesn't mean that you have to suffer through it if there's a way to try and stop it in its tracks. There's no shame in getting help...you've got that beautiful baby boy to take care of and to do that you need to take care of yourself.
Hope everyone with BF troubles is having some success today...but try not to beat yourselves up...there'll be plenty of chances to do that when they're older and we start psychologically scarring them with our embarrassing parenting behaviour.
HAs everyone moved too Oct 1-15... I know jorda wasnt born in Oct at all.. but i would like to keep in touch with the 15-30.. When she was really due..
I really need a glass of red.. or a BOTTLE... babys is great... just the whole loosing our house .. insurance crap... such a pain...
Lets see if i get time to finish the post this time...
Amanda - what a great birth story. And congrats on your FIFTH!! Well done. I'll have to get mine up when i get the time to figure out how.
Tanstar & Starskyy - I had a CS. I don't feel at all dissapointed about it this time, but I know I'll probably opt for an elected CS next time because of the complications we had and strangely I feel really dissapointed about that - that I'll never have an oportunity to 'give birth normally'. I feel like I'm out of the 'giving birth' club, even though I'll have a small family by then.
didi - I'm BFing. I've had several problems with it. The biggest one being I have 'flat nipples' so have opted to use a nipple sheild. Now I'm really worried he's not getting enough and it's effecting my supply, so I'm TRYING to wean him off the sheild...with very limited success. But the LC said it could take 5 or 6 weeks so we'll just keep trying and being patient...
Liam's been great the last couple of days. He's been sleeping well, and he's starting to smile! He's such a cutie (...when he's not screaming for seemingly no reason... ). He was 4 weeks yesterday. YAY! Hope everyone else is enjoying some sunshine moments in it all.
My parents house caught fire with the chimney and yup 3 story.. HUGe house all gone... so so sad.. still and happened Sept 5th.
I used a nipple shield with Ben... i was so stressed about my milk supply.. i used it for 6 weeks until he latched on his own.. So hang in there..
Jorda is feeding better today... maybe not tomorrow at the rate she goes...
she has some little winter boots.. SO CUte. i will have to post pics soon!!!
