Breastfeeding can be interesting.
I was lucky to be able to breastfeed for 6+ months, but it wasn_t always easy. In my baby group, I have some of the most interesting breastfeeding places, as have had to make do with my surroundings. At a half day event, I had to make the most of the breaks, racing off to the ladies to breastfeed in the handicapped toilet, as nowhere else. Being a conservative Mum, didn_t want to flash my boobs to the predominately male participants. The other was for two client meetings. I had my Mum babysitting, but had to feed between meetings. Due to time constraints ended up feeding in the Albany carpark. Great for changing nappies in the boot of the car too!
Being a Mum no matter what age is exciting.
Being a first time Mum at 37 is exciting, but also scary. You seem to be given so much advise, & material to read. I think half of what I read, gave me nightmares. Your chances are higher for problems, but we went through the Auckland Obstetrics Centre & they made us feel so at ease.
We were so lucky to have a beautiful baby boy, who_s smile just lights up the room. He has changed our life in more ways than you can imagine & it was all so worth it. Every day is different, but when Brayden smiles at you & chats away in his own language, I know I wouldn_t have it any other way.
