Nauseous while breastfeeding

Every time now, when I breastfeed or pump I get pretty nauseous! Does this happen to anyone else? Any recommendations?

I do, but it is nausea mixed with a feeling of a pit in my stomach. 4 months into breastfeeding, I stumbled upon something called D-MER

I don't know if this sounds like you, but I had no idea and wish I heard about it sooner. I get nauseous for several minutes then it starts to subside. I try to distract myself and focus on baby (looking at his face or tiny hands, rub his head, or if I'm pumping I look at cute photos). So far that's all that has helped. Good luck and I hope you find something that helps you - nausea is the worst!

This happens to me, I feed and I feel nauseous and a pit in my stomach. I never vocalized it until last month I mentioned it to my husband and he googled it but D-MER did not pop up. This is helpful!

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
