So I believe my morning sickness may have FINALLY stopped (I'm 16 weeks as of yesterday) and they do say you'll feel better and more like yourself in the second trimester but now I'm one of those lucky people who leaks colostrum (it's like your "pre-milk" and the baby will actually have this for the first few days of breastfeeding before your real milk comes in. It's full of protein and vital nutrients for the baby.) UGH! Sorry for those of you I didn't warn with a TMI label but...this is not fun. Apparently, the only way to stop it is to have something to absorb it (like breast pads). If you're unlucky like me, you'll be sitting around in your cotton-topped pajamas and leak....and then your nipple will seriously be stuck to your shirt because it's a sticky substance. If you pull it off, prepare for pain almost as bad as a band aid! Ok now this is getting gross. I'll stop. For most people it happens in your third trimester but for some of us who are less lucky, you can get it as early as like 13 weeks (or earlier if it's not your first kid). Great!
On the up side, due to lots of promo codes I received because I'm on pregnancy newsletter email subscriptions, I got a free baby sling, free car seat canopy, free nursing cover, and a free nursing pillow! I just had to pay shipping, which equaled less than 40 dollars (although their shipping was a little pricey...). The products (without the shipping) would've cost me almost 200 dollars!! So I got a bargain and couldn't be happier! It's not only world breastfeeding week, it's national breastfeeding month! If any of you are in the market for anything I have listed and wouldn't mind paying about 10 dollars shipping, let me know and I can get you the codes for those products. Just leave it in the comments!
