congratulations Nadz. So happy to know that everything went normally Alhamdulillah. You chose a lovely name for her.
Allah SWT has made a mechanism of realeasing ketones in the body during the labour which makes women forget most of the memories about pain and everything that happened during child-birth (amnesia) ..without this mechanism, no woman would ever think of getting pregnant again in her life So, Enjoy motherhood and sleepless nights
about breast-feeding: I felt exactly the same with my first one. He had a bad tongue-tie at birth and he couldnot suckle/latch on properly PLUS I was too lazy and I didnt try much for him either and gave up very soon. Everybody made me feel bad and I kept feeling guilty as well. For the second one, I had to try very hard for first 3-4 weeks but Alhamdulillah it went well eventually and I am exclusively BF-ing him now. I feel it is much easier than what I had to do for the first one about sterilizing bottles, keeping warm water in a flask every night and keeping stuff fr his milk in a bag everytime i had to go out and all. It is much easier now for Ahyaan Read Ya-Matten-u while you nurse her and it will be fine soon IA
Congratulations Nadz..your daughter shares her birthday with me!!! A fellow Librian...Its good to hear you are both well, i will remember to keep you both in my prayers..Only two weeks to go for me as well!!! wish me luck..
Congrats Nadz!!..
Seems like yesterday we were pregnant and now were mommies :)
May Allah grant ur little one a long n healthy life Ameen!..
Oh and about BFing.. i'd say jus keep trying along side with formula feeding, i've also been put on iron tablets n feel weak
but making d effort of breast feeding so all i'll say is keep trying n dont feel guilty if u can't.
Good Luck! x
