I just put two and two together Saturday night after and took a PG test on Sunday morning. I figure I'm just at 6 weeks. Two weeks ago I had a nasty GI bug (so I was barely pregnant) my supply zonked way down and only came back to a little bit. DD (21 mos) has been asking to nurse what seems like constantly! she normally nurses pretty much every 3 hours around the clock. She is not really interested in solids but will eat. Last week I took an evening out with DH and a morning for me so I missed two nursing session in 3 days...now I'm looking back on everything thinking I just screwed myself even worse...I've heard and read that when you miss nursing sessions while PG your body doesn't build those back...if the supply and demand goes down the supply goes down and no demand can bring it back. I've been eating and drinking like crazy but it doesn't seem like it's helping. DD has been eating more (or at lease wanting more food...she will chew things up and spit them out w/out swallowing). She doesn't want to drink more though. Last night we were laying in bed and she was trying to nurse to sleep and told me she needed the other side because it was all gone
(and crying again this morning now) I told her it was ok she could still nurse even if there wasn't any milk and I laid there crying for over an hour because on top of everything else I've got some insomnia inability to sleep well going on. I wasn't ready to wean and neither is she but the milk is just not there...I'm just having an awful time! I'm excited about a new baby and we do want another one but I was thinking another year or two... my fault should have pushed more to avoid I knew I was fertile! Then we are traveling for Easter this weekend and DD always nurses less when we are visiting for holidays and such...I don't want my supply to get any worse! DD is a needy kid and I feel like I can no longer provide what my baby needs and this is just the beginning.
I plan to go to the LLL meeting tomorrow but ah I can't even get control of my emotions I donno how that is going to go!
OK I'm off to get a bowl of oatmeal and drink some more water...please any encoragment or advice!!! I x-posted in the PG section.
