I'm a first time mom as well but mine aren't leaking anything. So lets define leaking here.... as in a drop or two or something like that or full on wet bra type leaking? Could I just line my bra in those really thin panty liners if this starts happening? <-- I know that sounds like the dumbest thing ever but seems somewhat logical and they're cheap!
@HgPa lefty probably will eventually come aboard! Bodies are weird. @Wearmi1 it depends on the day and person. I don't soak my bras, but I usually have like quarter size spots. My bestie soaked through her bras and shirts from 25 weeks on. Like, could watch active dripping.
I put the cheap thin disposable nursing pads in my bra, but I suppose a panty liner would work too! My BFF had to double up and sometimes used the reusable nursing pads.
Ugh... I had never had one complaint about my C-section experience, not one. Until now...
Holy sh*t I've been having intense cramps that I've been telling myself were no big deal and that I was fine... nope, nope, nope! I'm 99% sure that it is the scar tissue stretching and that is why I am almost unbearably uncomfortable, it is like 10x worse than RLP. I was never like this during my twin pregnancy and the pain/cramps have been lower abdominal/uterine area... ugh...THE worst.
@michaela0704 YES! I posted about this earlier in my Thursday Ticker Change. It was so intense this week I went into my OB! All checked out great but holy crap...painful.
@devow27 I actually have been dealing for almost 2 weeks and called last Friday... apparently my description of what I was feeling got me through 2 nurses all the way to my OB. He told me I was welcome to come in and if I did they would do a transvaginal u/s to measure my cervix to ensure it wasn't preterm labor but since I didn't have a history of that and actually had a failed induction at 38w5d with twins... he really doubted it was preterm labor. It really is very painful though, like take my breath away and last longer than 15 minutes kind of pain.
@michaela0704 ditto. I was worried it was maybe my c section uterine scar rupturing...obviously that's dramatic and very far fetched but it hurts! It's nice to have doc's who listen and act. DS pregnancy caused all sorts of problems so they don't ever wait around with me. Hopefully it subsides for the both of us!
@Wearmi1 you mentioned insurance covered your support band. Did you need any autho or Doctor request to push it through? I have an old back injury that flares up with pregnancy and I'm thinking about getting one.
Yes my provider wrote a prescription for one. I went to the medical supply place. They measured and fitted me for one. There is a hard back piece that they warmed up and shaped to my back. I wore it all day today. Seemed to work pretty well.

Is this going to go on for 4 months? Will Lefty get on board at some point?
Perplexing questions for a FTM.

@Wearmi1, well I noticed white stains in my black bra, and can actively milk myself so milk comes out, but so far I haven't needed any boob pads.
