I've just found out I'm pregnant, and I'm petrified (literally
) my youngest is only 9months and my oldest is 4 (at school). Ok the reason I'm so scared is while pregnant with my youngest I had a breakdown and ended up on a mother and baby unit, I was suffering also from hyperemesis, no antisickness worked and I weighed less at 8 months then when I started (I'm only a size 8) I looked like a pale alien
.
Since then I am well, it has taken a while but with the right mess I'm back
... Now I'm pregnant and there's a chance it could happen again especially if I come off my mess for the sake of my baby growing inside me.
I'm thinking way ahead but I've always breastfeed, I love it! Does anyone take any sedative medication and was still able to wake up several times in the night to feed? The medication I'm on is safe for breastfeeding but my brain is twirling in circles and I'm thinking of everything that could go wrong!
I think I'm posting to ask if there's any mums out there that have managed to breastfeed while taking sedatives, is there any good strategys or advice you could share with me? Thank you x
