Issue no 2..Whilst feeding is going well in that it doesn't hurt and my baby is gaining weight and I like the snuggliness... It is making me have all manner of odd symptoms. Thought I'd post here to see if I'm right in attaching them to feeding and just get a bit of moral support/suggestions as it's making me weigh up if to carry on but I don't want to throw in the towel yet.
So, I feel very very tired (but of course, but beyond what I'd expect), have hot and cold sweats around feeding time and am sometimes actually sick when I get the let down reflex and feel nauseous a lot of the time. I'm still off a lot of my pregnancy aversions and have that heightened sense of smell. I consequently have very little appetite. I have no libido and a lot of dryness (wondering if it's healed over actually!) and worst of all, I feel very down and tearful.
This is an ivf pregnancy and it feels like when I was downregulating to shut off my hormones. I did have a very traumatic pregnancy and was in hospital for most of my last trimester so the trauma of all that might be tied in.
Are these normal breastfeeding things?!
