Aww 😻😇 Sim fell asleep in the water lol. I feel so lucky to have the pleasure of coming home to these little boys.
2 days left till due date. I have a couple questions for mommas out there. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
1: So idk exactly what a contraction feels like, since I'm a ftm, but I don't think I've had any. I either get a feeling like super light period cramps or tightening of my uterus and stomach which both are more annoying feelings rather than painful. I know BH contractions simulate real contractions to prepare you for birth and I feel like I won't be prepared for the pain that's yet to come. Do any of you ladies think there is or have experienced any difference?
2: I haven't taken a breastfeeding class but I've watched breastfeeding training videos. My doctor said that videos won't prepare me enough for the real thing. Is there something in breastfeeding/lactation classes that is different from watching preparation videos?

Nature will just prepare you for breastfeeding.... Just relax and don't stress when feeding baby, it's new for you and the baby... Let the baby be skin to skin as soon as you give birth and they done cleaning off baby, start feeding him or her as soon as you have her, one the nurses should help you with the first feeding. I noticed all my babies knew how to latch on with no help, it's like God program the babies 😂
I had an epidural and had no issues with it. My sister had three and only had an issue with the last one. I think it all depends o. The doctor and the patient.
Thank you @jade113armstrong I was really confused on how lactation classes could be more helpful than a video. I was thinking hands on training or something lol. May I ask if you've had any epidural or other pain blocking meds?
You'll know when you are having contractions it not like anything you have felt before. Mine didn't hurt that much more of an uncomfortable feeling but everyone is different. And when it comes to breastfeeding nothing can really prepare you for it. Most lactation classes just have you watch videos and talk about how you feel.
Also drink pineapple juice, that will help with engorgement..... A few days after having baby you boob's will get hard and full of milk as the milk supply is picking up.... The pineapple juice with help calm that painful feeling
