Struggling a lot the last few days... I know pumping is not the best way to tell what your little one is getting but I used to pump about 2-3 ounces every 2-3 hours... now I'm barely getting a half an ounce if I'm lucky... I have tried fenugreek (also have heard it can decrease supply by some people), drinking Gatorade, can't eat oatmeal by itself, tried mothers milk, power pumping... and now my son has refused to nurse the last day... he is also formula feed so he is still eating.

I don't kno...

I had my son a week and two days ago. Where his umbilical cord is had some blood coming from it, we go to the doctors shortly but wanted to know if anyone experienced this?

Had our little boy this morning at 12:31am

Had contractions for about 3 hours ranging from 5-10 minutes now nothing but back pain and cramping. Anyone else have this? I'm 37 weeks and 2 days

My husband and I took a childbirth class on Saturday and the instructor told us that most woman get the nesting feeling and the burst of energy. Did any of you ladies get that before going into labor and what did you do when you got that feeling?

I apologize if I asked this before. The last two appts I've had when the midwife measures my belly, I measure small but when I had my last ultrasound (not this past appt but the appt before) baby boy measured right on time. Anyone experience this? This is also my first baby, not sure if that makes a difference or not. The midwife doesn't seem overly concerned after she looked at the ultrasound I'm guessing because the baby is measuring right.

So uncomfortable today. Plus it's supposed to be around 90 and our air conditioner in my building at work is frozen so has to be turned off. Ready to go home.

Had two surprise baby showers! One on Sunday and then one at work today!

Having same pains and tightness as I did Monday night when I went to L&D for the false labor as it turned out. I don't know if I should call again or wait it out!

For those of you breastfeeding, what breast pump did you get? I have the option between medela and ameda for the prescription through my insurance!
