Did you breastfeed your baby?

Yes.  I am still breastfeeding him… he is almost 8 months so I’m hoping to stop soon!!  (Thank goodness he doesn’t have teeth yet!)…………… So, he is now almost 10 months and his 2 bottom teeth are comin in and he’s only bitten’ me once so far!!

How long were you in labour for?

I never went into labour, I had a C-section.  My son never turned, he stayed in the transverse position… which only happens 1% of the time.  Because he was in this position I had to go to a specialist and after a couple visits with this special doctor he decided to book the appointment for my C-section.

Are you gonna have more than one?

Uummmm……. no!  Pregnancy did not agree with me.  I really don’t want to do it again!!!  If there’s a genius out there who could figure out how to get guys to grow a uterus and the men could start having the babies.. then yes, I would have more!

What was your sons weight at birth?

He was 8 lbs. 6 oz.

How much weight did you gain?

When I was pregnant I gained about 35 pounds.  I was very worried that I would have to do lots of exercise to get rid of some extra pounds but to my surprise I did not!!!  It just came off by itself, I was back into my regular clothes by 6 weeks.  I think breastfeeding helped with this!

Did you have any weird cravings?

No, I didn’t have any weird cravings..  I was just eating more and drinking lots of apple juice and milk.  I would find myself in the drive-thru of McDonalds ordering the pies, I did this a few times while I was pregnant now that I’m not…. I don’t find myself in the drive-thru ordering pies anymore!!!!

Did you get post partum depression?

No.  I never got post partum depression but I did get the baby blues for about 8 weeks after my son was born.  You think you can control yourself when you’re about to cry (normally) but when you have the baby blues… think again, those tears are comin!!!!
