She doesn't know what she's talking about, breastfeeding reduces the risk of developing allergies
-
My advice would be, believe you can do it, because you can. My last birth, I ended up going in to labour when my in laws were on holiday & there's no one else I'd trust with my son so I knew I'd be going to hospital by myself so my partner could…

First off congratulations!!! With regards to breastfeeding, its really normal for your milk not to come in til day 3-5, babies tummy is about the size of a marble so they don't need much at all (if you're having poopy & wet nappies, she's getti…

Yep it is, with both of mine they'd poop every time they fed at the beginning, thankfully it did slow down after a few weeks.

I remember from previous discussions on here, you can buy nitrazine paper from a pet store to test the fluid, if its amniotic it'll turn the paper dark blue I think.

Pretty sure my supply used to dip when I got my period & would then go back up again after.

Lansinoh cream is great, have you got access to a lc to get babies latch checked?
-
Glad you've got an appt & really hope they can help. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, I had my fair share of problems but if you can get the right support & advice to overcome them, it will get easier. Please don't think I'm being negative …

If his latch isn't great, that can affect his ability to feed properly which will in turn affect your supply, so if you have got access to a lc then def take advantage. Babies can get lazy with their latch if bottle fed as they don't have to try as …

Cant help you with brands (diff country) but it should be just a saline spray

Best book I read is The womanly art of breastfeeding by La Leche League. If you're already doing a class, ask when you're there what they can recommend. Good luck

Good luck xx

I'm in the UK, this is my 2nd pregnancy, never been tested for GBS, they just don't see a need to over here
-
With me, my waters broke 1st but not dramatic enough for me to be sure that's what it was. Then I had cramping similar to period pain followed by numerous trips to the toilet for #2, felt bit sick & no appetite & then finally started having …

Chances are if she's messing around, she's had enough to eat so I'd say you're doing the right thing

No, I've got an anterior placenta this pregnancy too, found it took me a little longer to feel regular movement & it can slightly increase the possibility of baby being born sunny side up. My midwife not concerned about it all.
-
56 days left for me & def not ready, between looking after a toddler & house & working full time, I've not got anything sorted
-
Congratulations!!!

I arrived at hospital at 10pm, had my son 7.50am & was discharged just after his 6hr check up at about 2.30pm!!!
-
Congratulations xx

Hmmm not sure how long I'd say mine was. If go by when water broke its 18 hours, by regular, painful contractions its 12 hours or if I go by when hospital say I was in established labour its 5 hours

Girl due October 4th

Here in the uk, the chicken pox vaccine isn't part of the normal vax schedule. I'd rather my son catch it whilst he's young too
-
I'd try not to be too concerned about your weight. I'm 5'4, my pre pregnancy weight was 133 & I lost 14 pounds through morning sickness/lack of appetite. I've still not gained all the weight back & am now 22 1/2 weeks but my last scan at 20 …

Me!!!! Last pregnancy had to do glucose test twice due to always having glucose in urine, blood tests came back normal. Just had my 1st test this pregnancy at 20 weeks (not got results back yet) for same reasons. I try to eat healthy foods but choco…

The la leche league book - The womanly art of breastfeeding was a great book for me

In the UK they don't even advise you avoid cold meats, deli meats etc
