Scary and Happy BFP-I Really Need Some Hugs, Mamas!

[clavicula]

Hey, mamas,

I'd like to join this DDC. Yesterday i had a BFP (:), and some implantation spotting (came and went). I am only on 13 DPO today, so not even 4 weeks pg.


I was scared to death, when i saw the two lines on the HPT. Somehow i just "knew" i was pg, if it makes any sense. Otherwise, we were TTA, i am still breastfeeding around the clock. I have a 11 mo girl and an almost 3 yo girl (potty trained a long time ago, thank God).

We are born again christians, so we are incredibly happy that God blessed us with one more blessing. The only thing i am worrying about is our nursing relationship, i think all you mamas can understand this. I will nurse through the pregnancy and more than willing to tandem (i tandemed already, it went well).

We are an AP and Continuum Concept-ish, TV free family, we co-sleep, cloth diaper/EC, babywear, sel/delayed waxers, no circ, future Waldorf homeschoolers, so all good ol' MDC stuff. I am gonna UP (except one u/s around 7-8 weeks, to exclude extrauterine pregnancy) and plan to birth in a FSBC.

My due date is somewhere around the end of Nov, but i went a bit earlier (38 wks) both times, so i guess i am gonna birth on the first or second week of Nov.


I think, i will need a bit more support than the other happy mamas here, but you all have to know that i am very-very happy and feel totally blessed with this new life inside me! I already have a spring baby and a summer baby so i am thrilled having an autumn baby now!

TIA for all your support and advices!

I so wish we were tv free but I am totally addicted William Peterson and Lee Adama etc (a little bit of something you fancy and all).

My pregnancy was a shocker but I didn't really havee religion tto help me out and I guess I wish I did, well, I have a belief but any way, thats not the point.........

I am learning to get used to the pregnancy. I would be tandeming like yourself but after tandeming last time I just knew I couldn't hack it this time (I have horrible breastfeeding issues, physical and psychological, well, the physical ones are the worse, I mean, its not like I don't produce milk but I produce way to much and by way to much I mean, horribly, painfully way too much that doesn't settle for MONTHS......... I wish I could do it again but I can't..... Having said that, I did nurse DD2 this morning even though I am sure I have no milk left at the moment but I she was more in for the comfort)......

Its the weekeend so I am a chatterbox...... Anyway, congratulations!!!!!!!

Mama!

I am there with you! This pregnancy was really a suprise! My DS will only be 9 months on the 20th and I am worried about nursing. DS barely eat solids consistently yet. Although I keep telling myself everything happens for a reason (as I believe that) and that it will all work out. Last pregnancy my milk changed around 6 months.

I hoping we will tantum! I read the book while I was pregnant with DS thinking DD was not going to give it up! She surprised me and didn't start nursing after DS was born. She said it was his turn for mommy milk!

And Congratulations!

Welcome--I've only been here a few days myself. This pregnancy was not a surprise for us, but the first one was. I'm a little nervous about tandeming because I started off with low supply with dd. I hope my milk doesn't change too much and/or stop completely. Dd loves her mama milk.
Sounds like you've got a lot of experience with dcs in general and even with tandeming, so you should be all set. We'll be the ones asking YOU for advice.
Congratulations! and
