I am always a moody cow especially when I start work at 8 am and Amelia keeps me up all night lol!

Oops!

Yet, here we are - hoping and praying we'll get more to keep us up at night!

Ha I know! I EBF her as well so it’s only ever been me up doing the feeds

I think this is a regression though she is off her food and keeps wanting me to feed her x

oh mrsbridge this sounds awful but I’m so glad to hear someone else say their toddler keeps them up all night too! Sometimes i think my little ones sleep is so all over the place because I have failed at something I’m meant to have done! I just need her to start sleeping through before October lol

I’ll be checking back in here to hopefully see you get your BFP

I'm so jealous, my last had to be exclusively pumped and then fed mine in a bottle.

EDD 16th October, only 5 days after my last son (4) was born. Although, if he's as late as said son, it'll be 24th October!

Awww I had to pump for 6 weeks with Amelia cause she was tiny! Hard work felt like a dairy and to keep up pumping every three hours would have killed me off it’s only because the HV said I’d never do it that I did it

Good on you! I was breast-feeding my twins and the hv said they were gaining 4oz a week, every week. Because the textbook says it should be 8oz a week, I was forced to then give them formula! I was fuming, I've BF all of mine.

ha ha that’s so funny as mine has to go to bed with a pair of pink crocs on for some strange reason, there’s absolute murder if we try and get her into bed without her crocs on her feet so we just let her have them in bed for an easier life!
She’s been surgically attached to my boobs all day and just permanently wants to be feeding from me and it’s driving me mad to be perfectly honest

 

[Mrsbridge17]

Crocs! Ha that is quirky for sure! My feet would get super sweaty in bed with crocs lol!

@RainbowMama yeah they tried similar with me but as id pumped from birth I was able to get good amounts out and fed on demand as I would with the breast and it all worked out I was under their watchful eye but I thought sod em they aren’t paying for the formula bottles etc although you already have all the bits and bobs in anyway I didn’t see any real benefit of giving in. Well done for doing twins x

Just thread crashing to say my toddler (2) is still up a lot at night and nurses to sleep and first thing in the (early, early) morning. All my kids have been the same up until I have forced a change... mostly cause I've gotten pregnant with the next one, ha! They've all coslept forever too and I even have some nights when all of them end up in our bed, still... it's so normal. I feel like I've totally failed at sleep but at the same time we have such great bonds with one-another and I know it won't last forever. but then again also I'm tired.

Good luck everyone and HUGE congratulations to the BFPs!

Yeah, I had been EBF from birth! I had to give up BF as they were going to involve social services if I didn't!
I managed 5 weeks, so I'm thankful I could. I think my boobs turn into a milk farm, I get between 9-15oz each time I pump, My freezer was well stocked!

thanks so much K, I feel like new mothers need to be warned in advance that a toddlers sleep can actually be worse then a newborns ha ha! Yes my daughter is in my bed, she has been since she was 4 weeks old, we’ve set up a toddler bed for her to go and get in on her own free will when she is ready but I don’t anticipate it being anytime soon, god knows how this will work out when the new one arrives! How are you finding breastfeeding while pregnant?

What! That seems a bit drastic to get SS involved! I used to love it when I got loads out it helped that hubby could do a feed and I pump I was so glad when she finally took the breast proper relief not to be hooked up to my medela all the time totally kept hold of that for next time best purchase ever!

I used to co sleep when she was very little but never anymore our bed is just too small I love it though absolutely loved it when hubs had gone to work at 5 and Amelia wanted feeding soon after as I’d feed to sleep and steal all the snuggles

Sad this is I know but I’ve looked right back at my posts and I got a positive at 7DPO with Amelia and then not again until 11 DPO maybe even twelve! How funny I tortured myself with tests even then x

Wow 7DPO is very early! Just goes to show every pregnancy is different, I felt for sure on 10DPO and even 11DPO morning I was ''definitely out'' but then come 12pm on 11DPO (or was it 12DPO) I got those positives!

I've not long ago done a CB digital with weeks indicator and got a 1-2 result. I've got my blood test tomorrow and I'm pooping myself to put it mildly.

Im not going to use a weeks indicator this time until I am sure it’s sticking x

 

[Mrsbridge17]

I popped on to the Oct moms thread your lines are looking great btw x don’t worry honestly this is it for you they are strong positives now if I’ve had a chemical they don’t get that strong. Posted a pic to show hope it helps. I also spotted from the time of the positive test bloody awful it was I keep going on and off ttc because it’s happened so many times x

 

[RainbowMama]

I must admit, I looked back at ALL my losses tests, even December 2020 and they were not this dark, the Clearblue didn’t seem too far off but still they are a lot darker this time around x
