This thread is for your pregnancy related questions for fellow June 2017 Mommas.
Since there isn't a place for this yet and individualized questions and posts have been popping up, I figured it would be a good time to start.
We can make this a weekly post or keep this a giant thread, depending on the group consensus.
Re: Pregnancy Chatter and Questions- Week of October 9
*sigh*
Meeting with a MW this Thursday for a consultation. Anyone else make the switch? What kind of questions did you ask your MW? What things did you wish you would have asked?
My boobs freaking hurt! I'm currently wearing a bra and sports bra bc I feel the need to tie these girls down! Ugh. My boobs aren't small to begin with and pregnancy only makes them worse. Lol.
I used an on the last 2 times and will this time as well because I'm a 2vbac. I had a csection with my first due to breech and vaginal with my second. I am hoping they let me use the new natural birth center wing though that has birthing tubs! We will see! I had such a quick birth with my son my doctor doesn't want me to wait around or labor at home. Of course this one could be totally different!
Am I the only one slightly obsessed and excited for the labor and delivery part? I get giddy talking about it.
Many women don't have a lot of symptoms, and don't feel bad about that. My mom was pregnant six times and never had a single day of morning sickness! Very few other symptoms as well. She loved being pregnant. I hope I've inherited that!

@beckij34, you're definitely normal. This is my fifth pregnancy and each one has been so different. With some of my pregnancies nausea was my first indication I was pregnant. This time I have no nausea, sore boobs is about my only symptom. It's very bothersome. Having morning sickness sucked, but despite how crappy it is, was actually very comforting because it reminded me that I was pregnant. If that makes sense...?
@Elyse1384 I wouldn't mind it being a monthly thread!

Our fur-baby is a black Labrador Retriever.

DD is 10 months old and I want to breastfeed her until she's at least 1. I dont pump regularly, but I have before and I tried pumping last night and this morning and got less than an ounce from both sides when I would normally get 4+ ounces during a session. Could I be drying up already?
So im kinda in the same boat and feeling like I'm drying up. Not sure if that's normal.
It might be pregnancy causing your drop in output but it could also be the fact that you aren't pumping regularly (supply meets demand and you haven't been creating the demand with pumping). Your baby is also at an age where the amount is dropping somewhat anyway if she's getting more intake of solids. I'd try a week of pumping at the same time with some power pumping sessions thrown in just like if your output seemed low without the pregnancy. (Whether you can stand the discomfort is another story, depends on how sore you are!) At 10 months in it may also be time to change the membranes. And lastly if you're not using a hands free bra already I highly recommend it, it creates a much better seal (my output nearly doubled when I upgraded from a cheapy to a good one).
im nursing my 16 month old now and I nursed through my previous 2 pregnancies. Since your baby is under 1 I'd be more careful that he's getting enough, mine were all 1+ so it was less of a concern, until you start milk.
i got preg with #2 when 1 was 13m and he nursed toll 1 month before birth. I got pg with #3 when 2 was like 20m And I tried weaning him a month or 2 before, he still nursed a handful of times till he was maybe 3+.
Most women will see their supply drop by a lot or all, and most women can safely nurse in preg. I found that as I dried up it got painful but for me it was manageable. I found a drop around 12-13w and was dry at 20w, and got a little back around 26-27. Some kids will cut back or stop some are more dedicated lol.
11/18/16 missed m/c 9w1

I will say that I started cutting her bottles with cow's milk at 11.5 months. Her bottles were 4oz so I did a week of 1oz/3oz and then a week of 2oz/2oz, etc until they were all cow's milk. Helped stretch my frozen milk a bit longer so I never needed to do formula. Could be an option for you too, you're so close! Good luck!
