28 weeks tomorrow.

Most of you know about my crap attempts at feeding the DD's and how determined I am this time....

except.... im blardy DREAMING about BF now!

Spent most of last night dreaming about BF this baby and it not working out, getting into a right state and sending DH to morrisons at 10pm before i killed someone!

I have never ever dreamt about BF before, and I know its been on my mind a lot because I am so eager to succeed (sp?) but I also keep telling myself Im going to fuck it all up again.

Sorry, just needed to rant.....

You need to relax!
Keep telling yourself that this baby with be an absolute dream to feed and you will both jsut glide through it.

Calm down! You're pregnant! Everyone has bizzare dreams when they are pg - they mean nothing. I dreamt that DP was off on a spaceship for a year while I was about your stage. he's still here!! Determination is more than half the battle in BF IMO! So I'm sure you will be fine.

JARM - when i was pg i dreamt that i gave birth to twins, but they were kittens! and i was trying to bf these tiny, furry kittens, but they were too tiny and i couldn't do it!

crazy pregnancy dreams are just that - crazy pregnancy dreams. you will be fine!

i blardy hope so!

just wish i could stop thinking about it - there isnt a day goes by when it isnt on my mind.

Even DH is starting to refer to my boobs as "milk for daniel" rather than anything else!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Strange. I also had a dream about BF last night. Is it something in air? Mine should have been disturbing but I usually just coast through these dreams emotionally. The weird feeding-related thing that happened was that the top fell off my left nipple, so it was just kind of an open hole. Very odd.

I'm at about 30 weeks.

urbandryad i had the same sort of dream ! i was actually breastfeeding my cat ! LOL !!

Something to take your mind off bf....

If a tree falls down in a forest & there is no-one around does it make a sound?

If you are flying super sonic & fart, would you smell it before you hear it?

LOL

As for nightmares I'd have a pg nightmare that I could leave, get up & pee (baby used to tap dance on bladder TMI) and then carry on where I'd left the nightmare as soon as my eyes shut again!!

I had hideous feeding dreams in late pregnancy. Or rather not feeding dreams as they always were me suddenly realising I'd not fed the baby for a week or longer... I'd wake with my heart racing.

mawbroon · 03/09/2007 16:04

I had that too bookthief! I woke in a panic because I hadn't fed the baby then after a moment remembered that he wasn't even born yet!

You do need to relax. This is a totally dif baby. I had loads of trouble with DD1, and she gave up at 12 weeks when she HAD to be offered a bottle as she had only gained one pound since birth.

DD2 was a dream. She got on there and camped there for 3 days at the hospital. She was a champion, and at nearly 13 mths still loves it.
She has had only bm, fm 3 times when left with someone else, and those are the only times she has had a bottle.

You will be maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarvelous this time, but don't put so much pressure on yourself cos if for some reason you can't do it, you are setting yourself up for a huge fall, and that will be good for no one.

Relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax
