I decided to do a test today and thought I was probably being stupid and getting my hopes up but there it was after over 7 years of ttc it was positive.
I have of course done another 2 tests just to be sure 😂

Eek I just needed to tell someone. Husband is on a late shift and not home for at least another hour!

Wow, how fantastic!!! Big congrats 🥳 🎉 My mum and dad tried to conceive for 10 years, had me and then 20 months later my twin brothers showed up! I’ve heard of that happening a lot so you never know…Enjoy little Zachary for now!

Thank you so much everyone for all the lovely messages of congratulations. I have read them all and will probably read back though again later on.

This week has been such a whirlwind. He was born late Monday evening so isn’t even 4 whole days old yet but it feels like he has been here far longer than that.

The hormones are quite something at the moment and yesterday I found myself crying about the fact on night 2 he was crying trying to feed and feeling guilty that I didnt know how to latch him better etc until the next day. At this point that had been and gone and he was feeding much better after some advice from the feeding team on the ward. Totally illogical but wow!

My milk seems to have come in overnight. We are going to have a bit of a duvet day today and try and nap lots between feeds.

Thethingswedoforlove · 06/10/2023 07:20

Sounds like a brilliant plan @SnowSnow . So pleased your milk is in. Hope the feeding continues to go well.

Those hormones right before and during your milk coming in are crazy! I remember crying in a bath upon the realisation my son might get married one day and leave me 🤣 he was 4 days old too! Sounds like you’re doing BRILLIANTLY and yes definitely stay in bed feeding and resting as a priority right now. This is a really key moment in your bf journey to help establish good supply. Congratulations OP x
