I found a brand that helps with lactation. It's called Boobie. 10/10 recommend.

@Mrs.Nabu I ordered directly from their website.

They have protein shakes, hydration boosters, and protein bars that also promote lactation.

I won't lie though it's pricier but definitely on your first purchase you can get a starter pack for about $100.

I swear by premiere protein shakes. When I was nauseous/vomiting that’s how I got all my nutrients in. All the flavors are really good’

I have had shakeology for years. They have a sample pack so you can try different flavors

I 2nd Premier Protein shakes as well. I’d buy it from Costco when I was EP and it helped during night time feeds because I was so hangry! It has 30g of protein, 160 calories, and only 1g of sugar. You should try getting a smaller pack at Target or Walmart and see what flavor you like then buy in bulk for beat value. I like chocolate the best.

Rootz Nutrition! I mix the protein powder and the collagen for 30g of

Ritual makes a protein shake! And it's for prenatal!

Fairlife shakes actually tastes good...like a melted milkshake. Chocolate is my fav, but I can get salted Carmel at Costco for a lot cheaper.

Any guesses?

I just had my 12 week scan today! Any fun guesses on the gender using the nub theory? 🥰

Emergency scan

Hi! I went to triage on Saturday night for reduced movement as I hadn’t felt baby all day. I was checked over with Doppler etc and sent on my way - midwife said everything was great.

I’ve just been called by the hospital that I’m booked in for an emergency scan and it’s just taken me by surprise. Has anyone else experienced this?

How does everyone do it

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old and I can’t even get out of bed without being sick, can’t even stand for longer than 2 minutes, my toddler is basically living on snacks as I can’t get out of bed to cook, I can’t even take him to nursery I feel terrible, I’m only 8 weeks and have so much longer to go 😭

Birth plan

Debating between natural birth vs C section.
Labour lengths, recovery times afterwards, control involved in a c section, pregnancy again after c sections.. give me your experiences/opinions. 😊
(Also, if the hospital was 1.5 hours away would that affect your decision)

Early labour?

Im really unsure if what I’m having is the start of labour or just digestive pains? I’ve been getting sharp/crampy pains across my abdomen and back which come and go every 10/15 mins, not really typical period like pains yet but they are very noticeable. I feel like it’s been getting more painful since this morning, but at the same time I’m having diarrhoea and nausea. The only difference I’ve noticed is the pain is not going away after going to the toilet or position changes. I’m going to call triage but I thought to wait and see a few more hours. BTW I’m 37 weeks
