That was a HARD age for us for sure. My DD is also a chair nurser but luckily we have a rocking recliner and I've slept more hours there than I care to admit. I'm expecting and I have to transition her to falling asleep laying down. It...

Exactly the same here except that beyond tired, I have zero interest. It was the same last time too. Being pregnant kills my libido and we also were in a really good phase, so it's a shame. I'm hoping for something of a turnaround in the...

I'm usually ok first thing at night. Then once DD needs me, many nights I pass out nursing her or fall asleep ok afterwards. Some nights though I'm up for 2 or 3 hours, trying desperately to sleep. It's 5:15 and I've been awake since 3....

I have a rocking armchair/recliner in DD's room and on days/nights when she's having a hard time relaxing (light sleep, arching, waving around, etc) I often sleep in there with her on my lap. At the first sign of sleep disruption I start...

Id consider a birthing center but my province is just initiating the first two and I'm not sure whether they exist yet or where they are located. The hospital I had DD at is very close (5 to 10 min by car) and they do routine pregnancies...

My mom started nursing my brother, then had mastitis and was told to wean because of the infection. I don't think she even tried with me because of that. So sad. I'm still nursing my 20 month old and I'm about 7 weeks pregnant. I'd hate...

Thank you dayiscoming. I'm not sure about a lot of things about home birth, including how long you get pp care. DD breathed beautifully after birth and her first episode was about 8 hours later. Her second episode was about 30 or so...

I'm still waiting for my first app't. It'll be Dec 3rd with a resident under my family doc. I hope to go with a midwife but I need to meet with my family care team to opt to go with the midwife. Oh well . I'm feeling pretty darn good...

I had DD at the local hospital under the care of my family doctor's team. This time I hope Togo with a midwife since my last delivery was straight forward. I was pretty happy overall last time but I hope to skip the induction (and maybe...
