UK SMOG Wannabes - March

Maybe, that sounds really rough. I agree that kellymom is a great online resource but it sounds like you need some expert help too! I have several friends who have trained to be breastfeeding counsellors and they're all a wealth of information. The ABM (Association of Breastfeeding Mothers) have a helpline, which is 08444 122 949 - their site is Association of Breastfeeding Mothers | Supporting Breastfeeding Women since 1979 The NCT also have a breastfeeding helpline on 0300 330 0771 - Contact us | NCT
I would definitely call somebody who has the time to go through your issues with you in detail and who are specifically trained in breastfeeding. In my experience midwives aren't the best resource for breastfeeding issues.

Inglewood ~ I only had 2 shots if i remember correctly which was 24 hours apart.. strange how they do things differently depending on where you are.

Maybebaby ~ has the thrust treatment helped much, is it all healed now because it sounds like it could still be thrush? other than that i dont know. as the weeks go by it should be getting easier if your little one latches on properly. Perhaps try ringing the numbers Zanacal gave you. i agree that sometimes midwifes arent the best resource for breastfeeding issues. i hope it gets easier for you soon ((hugs))

Injection 2 was worse!!! Could of cried!! big baby! lol Leg aching.... ur lucky Sunset, they haven't got the single inj at my hosp anymore.

So....here's my recent bump pic... please excuse the black top with navy trousers (we all know they don't go, lol) was having a spring clean, so anything old that fitted was my attire.... the other pic was taken after that one later on. I was 34wks + 4 when taken.

LMW, so hope I can log on with Dh's phone for ur scan...is it the 4th????

Omg inglewood - your - erm looking like it's twins in the politest way :-) I will pm you

Deaks have a fantastic holiday!

I rang my local nct volunteer who never returned my call. Called the national breastfeeding helpline who cut me off. Feel a tad better today as kept him going yesterday on boob and expressed milk. I think it might be less sore? Not sure as it's degrees of pain. More rubbing boob on brillow pad today than a cheese grater. So much for not being a marter this time!

Inglewood~ That bump is beautiful!!! I wanted to wish you the VERY BEST of LUCK, cannot wait to see those gorgous baby girls!! I feel like I just saw your avatar of the sono of twins!, not even sure if that was on here or PL...really felt like yesterday (in some ways). So happy your section was moved to the am, so much better that way! You have the whole day to recover, and your little men will be able to be with you and the girls shortly after. I will be thinking and praying for you. I am BEYOND happy for you and your family.

Ugh, that really is appalling. {hugs}. Do you want me to put you in contact with one of my counsellor friends? I'm sure they wouldn't mind exchanging emails with you if it might help.

Thank you zanacal that would be lovely. I was going to find a private lactation consultant but looking into it my closest is the nct woman who ignored me - not paying for that! Anoying as I put of work into my local group - where the he'll does the money me and my group raise go???

[zanacal]

I'm working on it maybe! Option no. 1 is on holiday but in the meantime, I've been told this is a good link:
