nasal congestion - we've been having steamy showers, spraying fess, spraying breastmilk up there too, aspirating, and using cotton buds to get boogers out ... sometimes things help, sometimes they don't ... we've also got the cot on an angle, so his head is elevated.
post c-section stuff - I've been very careful and not been lifting heavy things, staying away from the gym, trying not to run or push/pull anything too heavy, and behave in general!! as for driving, I got permission from the Dr to drive a week after the op. They did a physical exam, and decided I was fine, so they did a letter for my insurers etc, if needed...
linea nigra - I didn't have one, so I can't comment ... my stretch marks are being more stubborn this time than last pregnancy, though ... go away!! I need to bio oil it more, clearly ... !
tuby-grip for the belly - I used this last time, but it was to help my muscle separation re-knit - nothing to do with belly rolls it did apparently help! this time I haven't had any separation, so I haven't been wearing any.
side preferences - not really, but my left side produces considerably more (and is a good cup size bigger! makes bra shopping interesting...). I just make sure I take it in turns as to which I offer first, and I pump both sides to try to stimulate supply. Leftie produced more last time too ... I nicknamed her "old faithful"
less than a week before I go back to work!! boo! so much to do before then ... but equally, I kind of want to lay on the couch with DS2 and do absolutely nothing other than eat chocolate and cuddle and breastfeed, as there will be no rest once I'm back at work - sp why oh why would I run around doing housework and stuff now ... ?
