Re: Does anyone have this happen?

[Guest guest]

Well, good to know that I am not the only one. It was driving me nuts

and I don't know anyone around here that is b/f. Or has in the recent

past. Even my OB whose daughter is only 2 doesn't remember. Oh well.

thanks sooo much

Jannie is now 13 weeks old. I can't believe she is already 13 weeks.

And it is just uncomfortable. I have been to my doctor soooo many times

I really hope I can avoid it until my next pregnancy.

Not strange at all! I do that too. Not so much now that Karissa is 7.5 mos

old, but when I get engorged, it still happens.

When I used to first nurse (and actually till about a couple of weeks ago)

nursing let down hurt quite a bit. It's good to know that you respond when

needed though.... consider yourself somewhat lucky. It will get better

sooner or later.

Kristi,

My letdowns have always hurt, but mostly in the first couple of months, then

they seem to ease a little. But I know what you mean. I have heard other

people say the same thing.

Mine typically causes teeth-clenching pain during the early months. I

sometimes had to breathe through them. But it still only lasted a few

seconds, and now I feel a let-down, but it doesn't hurt. Now if it lasts more

than a few seconds, THAT'S when I would see a dr.

So, you feel the pinch? For me it's uncomfortable for a few seconds. But

is normal. I've never heard of it causing major pain. If it does, you

should check with your DR.

How old is Jannie?

You do get used to it.

Kristi,

What was wrong that you had to see your Dr. so often? If you don't mind me

asking.

I have to tell you kinda covet your position. If your looking forward to

having more babies. It's reall hard being done. Even though I have 5

beautiful kids. I mourn the idea of not having more.

Sorry to be depressing.

I have a website if any of you would like to visit it. We just had a family

picture taken last weekend. I'll put it on my website when I get them back.

The pinch you're feeling are the muscles behind your milk ducts pushing the

milk out. I used to get it too (until Kylie was about 5 or 6 months old),

along with a rush of nausea then I'd get really tired. It's the MER (milk

ejection reflex) that causes the pain (pinch or tingling) and the prolactin

rush that causes the nausea and sleepiness. The first few weeks post-partum,

I used to get contractions with it too - the prolactin causes your uterus to

contract and return to pre-pregnancy size much faster.

& Kylie, still nursing at 18 months!

:

I had the pregnancy from HELL> I was hospitalized 12 times and from 20

weeks was going weekly to see Dr Dillon. I had Hyperemesis and preterm

labor. Seems strange to look forward to another pregnancy. LOL. I

want to wait a bit yet though.

Jannie is a very vigorous nurser. She can drain my breast in 10 to 15

min. Very fast. My SIL b/f her son and it take about an hour. I think

the longest Jannie has ever nursed so far is when she was sick. She

just didn't have the energy to nurse. that is also the only time she

was ever given a bottle. And that was when she was a few days old.

Once she started nursing, forget the bottle. She won't take it at all.

Hey, she knows where to get the good stuff.

Hugs

Kristi

[Guest guest]

Yes, I had this especially when I fed #1, it hurt like pins and needles

being dragged through my breasts! Now that #2 is 7 months, I dont notice

let down at all, sometimes a dull ache thats all!

so in my book you're normal!

: Hyperemesis is excessive vomiting. I got dehydrated basically.

The preg might have sucked but, the labor was great and so is Jannie.

SHe is such a good baby and I was very lucky not to have all teh

problems nursing that others have had. SHe took to it like a duck to

water. Except when she was sick, it was a breeze. I think that is the

only reason why I am willing to try b/f until she self weens.

Kristi I have an over active letdown and it hurts. Not all the time, but

when I am full it can be quite painfull for a couple seconds. The good

side is My milk is fast and Marty is so use to it he drinks fast. People

are always remarking on how fast he feeds.

If I say wait I can't leave till I feed the baby, they expect it to take

twenty minutes or more. he can fill himself in only 5 or 10. But my

bottle baby was the same way!

Good luck

Really, really, REALLY bad morning sickness ... more like " all day " vomiting

who did end up in the hospital with it

Jen: The morning sickness and hyperemesis just never stopped. Preterm

labor was at 34 weeks. 1 week of magsulfate.

THe preterm labor is one reason that I am waiting at least 2 years to

get pregnant. I won't be able to b/f Jannie if I get pregnant before

she weens. I really want her to ween first.

Kiva is 7 mo old and I still have this on occasion, but it was every time

she ate at first. It gets better, and it doesn't even happen every time

now. Just hang in there!!

jen: It still could have been hyperemesis. I jsut never got rid of the

morning sickness. Some women don't get morning sickness until their

second trimester. So, you prolly did have it.
