Re: Pregnant after TTC while Breastfeeding! *February-March*

IF everything comes back negative, I go to an RE for more in-depth testing. Either way, I'll be on progesterone, baby asprin, and Rx vitamins from ovulation (if not before) until delivery with the next one---which means TTC will be even more complicated than I'm used to and there will be no "relax and let it happen" business...but I'll live with it if it gets me to the goal.

Re: Pregnant after TTC while Breastfeeding! *February-March*
Marie-- I agree, you are the glue! so come on back
![]() I too remember fondly when we were all hopping in this thread (and in ttc forum). I still miss those ttc months. . .no other forum/group has been quite as awesome! I'd be posting here more, but haven't been getting the updates from my sub for some reason. boo. welcome new-comers!

Re: Pregnant after TTC while Breastfeeding! *February-March*
Marie - ((hugs))for your loss. I really hope you get some answers that will give you a direction to move forward with. I will be praying that it is NOT a genetic problem and that it is caused by something else that can be treated.
Andrea - Will be thinking of you tomorrow morning. And I miss this thread (and the TTC while BFing thread) sooo much. Just thinking about it makes me want to TTC with you ladies even though I have an 18 day old newbie sitting here with me. Andrew Nicholas was born on 3/2/12 and I am just head over heals in love and knew from the moment he was born that I am not done having babies. Too bad what I know and feel is not the only factor that goes into the having more kids decision. If I am blessed to have the opportunity to TTC again I hope to find the support of some mamas as wonderful as you all. And I look forward to seeing lovely pics of rainbow babies for you three mamas (Andrea, Marie and Lucy). And here is a pic (or 2) of our little naturally conceived while BFing miracle. ![]() ![]()

Re: Pregnant after TTC while Breastfeeding! *February-March*
Hi Lucinda! Glad to see you here too. I hope your recovery is going well. Wanna add a gratuitous newborn pic too? I took the liberty since the thread was so slow.

Its strange seeing all these newbies from my/our TTC days who would be younger than Deagan if I'd stayed pregnant. With all that has happened to me in the last few months, it feels as though time has been on hold and you should all be still pregnant like you were 5 months ago. Its a bittersweet reminder that life does go on and progress and new little ones are born and grow. I wish you and the little guy all kinds of wonderful things.

Re: Pregnant after TTC while Breastfeeding! *February-March*
![]() Congrats Steph!!!! I have been stalking the March ddc a bit ![]() I know what you mean about ttc. . .we're in a place of probably not having any more babes (for a couple of reasons, the stroke being one of them) and it's so bittersweet to think that I won't be ttc or pg again. On the other hand, I'd be scared stiff to be pg again anytime soon and I am feeling very complete now with my two littles. . . My Eden isn't a newborn anymore, but I'm always happy to share pictures ![]() (I do hope sharing them does not make anyone sad though. . .too much sadness amongst this crew ![]() from our prof photo shoot at 2wks ![]() ![]() 7 wks old (at a chubby 12lbs!) ![]()

Re: Pregnant after TTC while Breastfeeding! *February-March*
Okay, for all of you who have weaned a baby (I had cut back significantly when TTC simply to save my sanity as he was CONSTANTLY nursing even though he was almost 2...then when I got pregnant, I stopped completely the day after his 2nd birthday (7wks) because I was terrified that nursing would make me lose the baby).
So, we've been weaned now for 9 months (a little more, actually). And he STILL wants his hand in my shirt when he's sleepy or really upset (like shrieking because he's scared or hurt). I know I pushed weaning him, but he was NOT crying and freaking out about weaning when I weaned him. He took it quite peacefully, in fact. Any tips on ways I can encourage him to stop burying himself in my bra when he's upset?

Re: Pregnant after TTC while Breastfeeding! *February-March*
Oh Marie, thank you. I wish the most wonderful things for you as well. I just can not imagine what you and Andrea have been though. I will not pretend that I know what it is like to experience the loss of a child. I pray that everything gets figured out for you Marie and you get the answers you need to have a sticky bean. Not sure if you would have more than 1, but there is this part of me that quietly hopes to see you again in the TTC while BFing thread one day.
![]() ETA - Lucinda, she is gorgeous!!!! absolutely beautiful family photo. ![]() Marie, ds1 was a bit obsessed with going up my shirt for awhile. I encouraged him to love on some taggies/loveys we had and a few dolls that I would offer him. He finally took to an Elmo doll that he hugs now.

If there is no solution, we will probably continue to hope for another lucky streak like we had with Smidget and go from there, but I doubt I'd have a 3rd if we get that far---we'd probably just adopt.

Re: Pregnant after TTC while Breastfeeding! *February-March*
Marie--my ds is not quite weaned yet, but he also does the hand in the shirt routine. Haven't quite figured out how to deal with that yet. He's never been willing to take a substitute like a lovey. he's just a boob guy, lol.
Sweet little guy Steph! Love the woolies too. ![]()
