AmyR00, those first weeks are yucky! You could try shopping for nursing bras online?

I actually did get out of the house to shop for bras and they had none in my size. Is 36 F really that unusual? I just ordered 2 online, I hope they fit.

did you have a c-section?

i know what ya mean about the bleeding..with luke i bled 7 straight weeks..and it was pretty heavy the first few of those weeks. This time..with anna..the bleeding has been much lighter and easier since day 1..so i am hoping i wont bleed for as long this time!!

Yes, I did have a c-section. I haven't been bleeding very heavily, but it's very sporadic. There will be nothing for a few days and then it will start again. I was caught unprepared last week at church and bled through my pants. I was so embarrassed.

Justin FINALLY rolled over today on his own...and then he wouldn't quit! LOL...he's SO CUTE! I know I am out of trimester four...but I had to share! I thought he would be walking before he finally rolled over! lol

Wow that's great! LOL you say it like he's 7 months or something, Elijah hasn't done it yet and doesn't have a lot of interest in it. He'll get to his side but that's all and honestly I think he's going to crawl before he turns over. My friend's baby actually did that...I guess we'll see.

I had the same issue after my c-section. It would stop and I would think I was done but it would come right back the next day totally unexpected. I wore a liner for a few days after it stopped just to be sure! I bled longer than I was told I would, that was really annoying!

Think 3's and 6's..
3 days, 6 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months.

Remember though, that since your little one was born early-ish she's likely to have more As long as baby is gaining your milk supply is fine!

A common culprit of extended bleeding is too much activity--and of particular danger is vacuuming, as well as sweeping and mopping. Vaccuming in particular ought to be avoided for 6-8 weeks--because the motion coupled with the weight of the vacuum.

Drinking 3 cups of RRL tea throughout the first 6 weeks post partum helps the uterus involute most efficiently.

I have been doing this too, but with my first c-section I didn't do that.



My parents are in town this week helping out with Mary and Christian. My mom bought me 3 nursing bras, as I didn't have any. And I am having the same problem as you Amy, I couldn't find them in my size so I had to go with one two sizes smaller and use an extender. Though I know your issue is with finding the cup size mine was the number size.
