Eeeek

I've already bought some formula, not intending to bf for long if I do it, I only did one feed with my son cus I was so ill when he was born it took a few days before I could try and he was used to bottles then x
 
I didn't want to last time, my LO hasn't missed out on it but I think I might try this time just so I know I've had a go, if I don't like it I won't feel bad x

When I asked my midwife she said they don't keep any formula at all in the hospital so it might be best to take some incase you struggle x
 
They gave me a bottle of milk in recovery but I thought I give bf ago, I fed her myself in hospital, but since I got home I was too ill on saturday to feed her myself, throwing up in alot of pain so gave her a bottle, mw sent me to drs for stronger pain relief so left her with dad I was there for a few hrs so he gave her some formula but since then I been feeding her on the breast and toping up wiv formula cos she doesnt take alot of milk on the breast. It is painful but I got some cream which is brilliant it cost a tenner but it really helps, when my milk came in my boobs were really swollen and puffy it can be very painful especially after section. I don't plan to breast feed for long but hoping to do for a few wks so she get some goodness in her. I didnt bf my other babies apart from birth and there both very healthy x

Those starter bottle are probably a good idea to take in hospital just incase, they usually give you a free bottle at birth then expect you to provide your own milk x
 
I already had 2 sections hun, so no point trying for vbac as I wud probably end up having section anyway, I was sick 2 days afterwards the hospital sent me home wiv not enough painrelief but it cud of been a bug so my first nite home was awful, its horrible being sick wiv ur scar im sure ur all be fine, don't worry its so worth it when u meet ur new baby x

It feels strange not being pregnant xx
 
There seems to be loads of us having sections doesn't there,
I bet it feels weird I can remember last time I kept putting my hand on my belly etc and remembering he was out now haha xx
 
There's only one other person on here I can remember saying they are trying for natural but I can't remember who lol, I might be on my own not knowing when baby is coming x
 
I wish I could go natural but not worth the risk for me and my health! It will be a month tomorrow for me can't believe it,
Cas it will be your hormones everywhere once they start settling you prob feel more positive xx

With my son I wore 2 pairs of control pants everyday once I got home for about 2 weeks and I think it really helped my stomach go back to normal, not sure if I could do that after section though it might be painful x
