Since you lot all mentioned headaches I have been suffering today!! I do need to drink more water, but I'm sick of going to the toilet all the time!
broody I liked your scanxiety term, very clever!
Also been struggling with the nausea today, I've been feeling heaps better the past couple of days but every so often it reappears with a vengeance. Still got the vile taste in my mouth too that makes things worse.
Think I felt the baby moving last night, was struggling to get off to sleep and just lying looking out the window when I started to feel some squirming going on, may have just been wind
but they do say around 13 weeks for second babies, 13+4 today.
Hi benzo!
Got really hope everything is all ok for you tomorrow, no more bleeding is a very positive sign.
With the bf, I will share my story, don't want to be one of those ladies who love to tell horror stories but I feel that when I was expecting DD it would have been useful to hear about the stark reality of what bf can be really like. I was not expecting it to hurt as much as it did, we really struggled with getting a latch in the first hours, and I had to stay in an extra night until DD was able to latch properly. the mw were not at all helpful and just had the attitude that I should be able to do it, and they were getting frustrated with me that I must have been doing something wrong. I ws determined to bf though so stuck with it. The first 10 weeks were absolute hell. the pain on feeding was just excruciating, I cried through every feed and dreaded having to feed my daughter. I'm not sure where I got the determination from to carry on, but I did, and we were finally diagnosed as both having thrush, rather than it being a latch problem like they kept telling me over and over. I saw many 'professionals' who were just baffled as to why it was still hurting, until my HV eventually thought it could be thrush. We were both given the cream to apply after every feed and it did eventually clear up. I bf DD until she was 13 months, and I loved it once those first 10 weeks were over! The other issue I had was that I wasn't able to express, ever. I couldn't do it by hand, using an electric pump or a manual one. I had also stocked up on bottles and was hoping DH would be able to take over some of the night feeds, but I was never able to get any milk to come out. There was always enough to feed DD when she wanted it, but I never managed to express more than a few ml.
If anyone has any advice about this it would be great as I would really like to be able to try again this time and let DH do some of the night feeds! I used the Avent manual pump, do you think electric ones would be any better?
Sorry if this all seems really negative but it just shocked me in the early days that it could be such a rough journey, and I was annoyed that no one had warned me. I definitely agree with whoever said be open minded about it all, and don't pressure yourself into anything, getting through the first few months is about survival, you don't need to be making yourself feel bad unnecessarily!
Sorry for the mammoth post 
nat I have pm'd you my email but not had anything through on fb shall I send it again?
