Janie & Dane: Yes, I am not loving the last few days of being pregnant but at the same time I am cherishing each full night's sleep I've been getting. I normally sleep 7-8 hours a night and only get up to pee once or twice. I am also enjoying being with my 1st son Gavin, who just turned 3 years old. He is at the age where everything he says and does cracks me up.
Have you guys and anyone else read the other thread about women GAINING weight while breastfeeding? Those posts kind of freaked me out. When I breastfed my 1st son, I lost at a steady pace for the 1st 6 weeks postpartum (I lost 30 of the 50 I gained) and then was stuck with 20 extra pounds, so I counted my calories (had 1600-1800 a day for about 2 months) and took walks to the park, and was able to those 20 and maybe 5 more. This time around I plan to do a combo plan of watching calories and staying lower carb...though I can't imagine doing Induction while breastfeeding and managing to keep my milk supply up.
Talk to you guys soon...I am looking forward to keeping in touch with other BFing moms!

I'm one of those moms who gained while breastfeeding. It really took me off guard, for I thought that breastfeeding women used several calories per week just to make milk. Yet, I've gained close to 10 pounds AFTER the delivery of my child. That is why I'm on Atkins now.

quite abit, 6 times aday. She hasn't minded the L/C diet and I am still on induction due to the amount of weight I want to loose. As I get closer to my goal I will slowly increase my carb level. My doctor has been super supportive of the diet and Ashley's doctor thinks she is doing great. My biggest peice os advice is watch your babies ques. He/She will tell you if there is a problem and drink lots of water so your supply doesn't decrease ( it will return after a few days). Good luck and let us know how you are doing.
