Yes please, that would be great.

I'm v delicate about it all as I had such a bad time last time and it was such an ISSUE for me (more than the labour really). Looking back it was being in hospital v v stressed out for three nights, not sleeping, being told conflicting things, being handled pretty roughly and being told I'd done things "wrong" that really did it for me. I tried for 7 days but my milk didn't really come in at all (even my midwife admitted this- eventually!), I had mastitus and my family practically begged me to stop as I was a wreck :(. Afterwards people suggested nipple shields, perhaps a bit of back up feeding that didn't involve spoons, various things that might have given me time to calm down and for it to establish itself but my midwives' attitude was their way or no way, all or nothing which I really regret.

Just wanted to give some background for whoever wants the challenge!! I'm having this baby somewhere else where they aren't so hot on targets and seem a lot more laid back about it, the plan is also to get out of hospital asap even if my OH has to kidnap me! I feel like there's less pressure this time both from the system and myself but I would really like it to work if I can make it.

Anyone up for the challenge? I'd really appreciate it!

Hey, if you dont mind me asking, where did you have him and where are you having this baby? I noticed you were around hte same area as me before, just wondering which hospital you're going to.
I would offer my services as a buddy but i think you're already got a much better qualified offer as i didnt really experience the problems you did.

Hiya,

I had him at St Michaels but this time I'm giving birth up where my parents live in Worcestershire, everything seems a lot more laid back up here so I'm feeling more positive this time. Fingers crossed!
