Colostrum harvesting

I’m 36 weeks today and I’m eager to start colostrum harvesting. Online it says from 37 weeks has anyone else started from 36? In my head it’s only a week difference is that going to affect that much? Xx

Speak to your midwife first, it can bring on early labour so double check first.

Check with your midwife /consultant but I was told I could start early, but then it was not early enough!

Hey

Found out I’m expecting my 2nd baby exactly a week ago!! My daughter was born 2021 so feels like a while ago for me!

I haven’t really had any symptoms, boobs growing slightly, sometimes I feel sick.. sometimes I don’t. I feel like I need to keep testing every day to confirm I’m definitely pregnant! 😩

Booked an ‘early scan’ but it’s not until the 7th August! How do you guys keep your mind of the bad? And focus on the good.. I’m a nightmare!!

I also have events coming up with friends / family for birthdays where we will be ‘drinking’ / bottomless brunch but don’t want to tell them yet so no idea how I’m going to get through the next few weeks and go alcohol free without being noticed 😂

Moan over!!
Ps - congratulations everyone xxxx

Baby boy has arrived

Ladies my August baby came early I’m so blessed overwhelmed and exhausted but extremely happy. I had to get emergency c-section due to baby boy’s heart rate kept dropping but he came out and he’s perfect

Back to work…

I went back to work today after a week off, and honestly, I couldn’t care less about being there. All I could think about was my baby growing in my belly and how much sleep I’m missing out on while sitting in the office. I really hope I’m not the only one feeling like this.

So frustrated lately

I feel like my frustration level has been so high lately at 5 months PP. I am feeling really frustrated with my partner over housework, free time, helping with the baby, making noise during feeding time, etc. I just got my first period which I'm guessing is making it worse or not helping. Im wondering if anyone else experienced this around 5 months or your first period and if it went away on its own?
