Re: Who is still breastfeeding?
Trying for #2 since July 2010
BFP 8/1/10, missed m/c, D&C 9/15/10.
BFP 1/8/11, chemical pregnancy.
BFP 3/4/11, measured behind all along, no more HB 4/18/11. D&C 4/29/11. HCG didn't drop, Repeat D&C 6/17/11; confirmed molar pregnancy 6/23/11.
Forced break, including two Hysteroscopies in October to remove retained tissue.
BFP 12/29/11! Betas @ 10 dpo = 85, 14 dpo= 498, 22 dpo = 7242
Heard HB 1/24/12. 144 bpm!
Luca Rose born 9/9/12! More than worth the wait!
Ditto this and some cereal!
I'm still EPing ... over halfway to my 6-month goal! I'm also getting really sick of toting my PISA around everywhere.
How fun - our girls were born right around the same time at around the same gestational age! Did you start EPing due to prematurity-related issues? We introduced the bottle to get DD out of the NICU and once she figured out there was an "easy way" we could forget about BFing.
Still mostly EBF. She gets one bottle of pumped milk a day and I SAH so thankfully I only have to pump once a day. I give major credit to you ladies that EP, don't know if I could do it.
I have been back to work for 3 months now, and am still pumping. It has been a crazy road with mastaitis and supply issues, but I am still EBF (thank god I had an awesome freezer stash!).
It is hard. I hate lugging my pump on the train to work, I hate feeling like a cow
but I have actually started reading while pumping at work, and I am really starting to not mind it! It has actually been some really nice "me" time!
Totally do what is right for you, happy mom= happy baby. I am glad that I stuck with it. I was about to give up a few weeks ago when my supply went down to 2 oz, and his intake went up from 4 to 6oz. I felt defeated. I really worked at getting my supply back up, and am almost at 5oz now!
You can do it, focus on the goal you set when you first started - that helped me a lot!
I so but I am a SAHM, but will soon be a WAHM.
I give all of you pumpers major props. I would go crazy if I had to prep, pump, wash, etc all day.
Let's try this again...
