ME!! Well, I am not quite in my 3rd tri, but close. Almost 27 weeks. My dd turned 4 almost 2 weeks ago. : She nurses 1-2x/day and nurses on one side. We will be tandem nursing. DD has no plans of stopping.

This makes me sad. I was really sick the past few weeks, couldn't keep any food/water down ended up needing IV fluids. They put me on anti-nausea medication that was safe for pregnancy but not breastfeeding (go figure) anyway couldn't nurse DS (22 months) and since being off the medication have decided not to nurse him anymore since he only really wants to be nursed at night and I don't think I can nurse two at night. But he is really sweet and his go to sleep mantra now is I love na na's Na na's sick over and over. Like he has to remind himself. So sad

Not us DS hasn't nursed in over a month, and that wasn't even nursing- he sort of just layed there, half latched on, and popped off three seconds later. I can't remember the last time he *actually* nursed.

I am sad, I miss it, and I feel guilty that pregnancy made him wean before he would have otherwise. I especially miss my snuggly guy curled up with me, and the magic tantrum-solved powers it held. Aannddd.. now I'm crying My point was I'm sad, BUT I'm also grateful for a small break before I have a newborn attached to me 24/7.

Ahh... pregnancy hormones.

Still nursing here at 27 weeks! About 2-3 times a day plus more if any owies come up.
Nipples are ridiculously sore. Clavicula, did the soreness just go away on its own? Dd will stop nursing on her own and say "this one's pretty sore" and switch to the other side. She's being very considerate.
I think I will be tandeming. I hope it'll be more comfortable then. It's definitely kind of weird thinking about my gigantic two year old nursing alongside a newborn. She keeps saying "this one is for me and this one is for the baby" so that's nice.
Myra and Andi--hang in there--you will be nursing your little babies in a few short weeks!

I agree, I keep thinking about a 4 yo and newborn nursing. Can't wait to get a photo of that! And dd says the same thing, "this one is for me and this is for baby". I love it. My nipple soreness has subsided. A smidge sore at latch and that is it. It is the contractions that I can not stand!

We are!

Ds is nursing about once a day, give or take, usually in the morning, as there is zero milk later in the day or in the evening.

It's funny, I think that if I hadn't gotten pregnant, he would actually have weaned already or would otherwise wean sooner than he will now.

Still nursing here at almost 28 weeks! 2-3 times a day, although DD seems to be more and more interested lately (which is odd, bec. I haven't had milk in months...). I think I've finally decided to just let things take their course and tandem nurse if that's what ends up happening.

I'm a bit nervous, though, bec. I've gotten some weird contractions when she nurses...that is, contractions that are more like real ones and less like BH. (They're menstrual crampy, lower back crampy...not just that tightening in the front of the uterus I remember as BH from last time around.) Anyone else dealing with this?

Here, still nursing my 27 month old. I haven't had milk in ages, but he just loves his "dee dees". Lately though, he just screams "NURSE" which I think is much less cute.

Yes, Bax, I am. It feels like I am going to get AF. The other night it was pretty bad and I had it in my back too. It feels like my belly rises up too. And it is so annoying. They do not lead to PTL, it is completely normal. If you have any bleeding or fluid leaking, call your MW or Dr, though.

On another note though, my breasts are finally growing!! I am pretty excited about that.

I wish DS was still nursing, but I'm thankful that I have a break before having a nb again. I am half hoping he will start again when the baby comes but I think DH will freak and also that DS will not remember how to latch.

Still nursing here! But technically not in the 3rd trimester YET since I'm the very end of November.... Started this pg still nursing DD2 and DS; DD2 weaned a while ago but DS still nurses several times a day. I'm one of the lucky ones with nipples of steel - LOL - I never get soreness!

We are still as well.. DD is 18 months old and I don't see her weaning anytime soon. She loves it and still nurses 4-5 times a day.

Yeah, I guess. Or I just got used to the pain? Anyway, it is not a big deal anymore.

Yes, I am having these. But they go away when dd stops nursing so I am not worried.

I think we are.Ds needs one every few days then a lot that day and is fine for a few more...
Though we are technically not 3rd tri just yet.

Still nursing here! Usually before and after naps and nighttime and in the morning. She's 28 months and I'm almost 30wks.

Nipple pain is absolutely excruiating, and many times I think I can't take it anymore. But it would certainly break her heart if I made her wean, so I suffer through it.
