ow ow ow! bfing whilst pg, any advice welcome!!

[Kveta]

may I ask other mums who bfed during pregnancy - did you find it excruciating towards the end?

am 37 weeks tomorrow, and trying to fob the toddler off by hiding from him at normal feeding time, as it is nipping so much right now. And he is crying for mummy milk, so I don't want to stop altogether at what is going to be a major upheaval for him anyway.

Just hoping the pain will diminish once sister arrives! Any advice? thanks :)

No advice, just a very gentle (hug) and some fellow feeling!

DD2 had a nurse this evening and it felt like she was going to suck my nipples off, her suck was so strong I had pins and needles! I still have no milk/colostrum and she was pee'd off there wasn't any (She's not feeling well so wanted Mama Bah to make it better).

I am so hoping the colostrum comes in soon as I hate seeing DD2 upset.

Have you got colostrum now? I found in previous pgs it did help loads when it came in but obviously it doesn't work the same for each pg/woman. I did find I had no pain when nursing the older one once baby had been born just the usual newborn ouchies.

Yes, it was uncomfortable for me towards the end and I was getting awful feeding aversions. Things improved very quickly after the birth though.

thanks - truth I've had colostrum for a few weeks, it started leaking at about 24 weeks this time (as opposed to 16 weeks with DS!). I let him feed this morning and it wasn't too awful, but I am doing the counting to 10 thing, and taking him off when it gets too sore.

eau glad to hear it should get better after the birth!
