I want to say congrats on you baby girl.<br /><br />I also want to say I'm still waiting for mine after 6ish years after starting this journey and I feel nothing but sadness for you having lost your uterus. I can't imagine anyone would want to judge you for it and I doubt you would have judged. It's hard to have so little control over our fertility for so long and then no control over the end of it. It doesn't matter that you have a baby now. Feel sad if you need.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610058612859471189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-55689587952244954702014-07-26T13:29:34.492-04:002014-07-26T13:29:34.492-04:00No judgement here- you've been through a lot. ...No judgement here- you've been through a lot. Even knowing this was my last planned pregnancy, I'd still have been upset and at a loss if I'd went through what you have (hugs)<br /><br />Have you mentioned the incision to your OB? If you get a fever, go in. Being red and hot can be a sign of an infection, that's how mine started out.AnotherDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487881766884178761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-88065879781882687782014-07-26T11:26:00.609-04:002014-07-26T11:26:00.609-04:00Good luck!

The 5 S in the happiest baby on the block really helped calm my baby during that phase.<br /><br />I exclusively pumped in the beginning and was getting sore nippes. What helped was lowering the suction and doing breast compressions as i pump. Also the first 12 weeks is when you establish milk supply so when you feel up for it i would pump more often and add in as much skin to skin suggles. Oatmeal also helps. Youre doing great!Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663592141905592568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-52879231018759570402014-07-25T21:36:36.028-04:002014-07-25T21:36:36.028-04:00Do not feel judged or judge yourself.

Even before getting pregnant the first time, I always had the mentality of our family not being complete with just one child. I would be devastated if that ended up being the case.

A woman could have 10 children and losing a uterus would still suck. Losing a big toe would suck. Shame on people whose first reaction is judgment and not compassion. <br /><br />Losing baby isn't hard if your breastfeeding. It is keeping weight off after you stop that is hard. Just a heads up warning, having a baby later in life your metabolism seriously crashes after. And you think your hormones are crazy now? I cried for a week straight when my daughter weaned herself. It was awful! I would have breast fed her a lot longer if she had been willing.
