Morning ladies. Well I'm 39 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. DS is 23 months. I was never able to breastfed my DS and have always felt disappointed.
Things are a lot different this time around. DS was born with pneumonia and was in critical condition in intensive care for the first week and remained in intensive care but a stable condition for the second. He was born via c section after a really long process of induction/labour for 4 days and failure to progress. Due to his illness, we were unable to hold him for the first few days as he was severely jaundiced needing UV lights and requiring full time oxygen. Anyway, needless to say we didn't get loads of skin to skin etc to help with bonding. I was expressing 2 hourly (3 hourly overnight) and after the first few days expressing 2 hourly, feeding 3 hourly once he was well enough to be snuggled.
So anyway, this time around bubs is again being born by planned c section

DS has reduced lung capacity and the specialists aren't sure if it's hereditary or as a direct result of his pneumonia causing irreparable damage.
I'm worried because my breasts haven't changed at all during pregnancy. Not in size, shape or feeling. With DS this also never happened and after a month even with all the expressing and feeding I was still only getting between 50 and 70 mls a day. An entire day! I'm really wanting to give it another go this time around but feeling really apprehensive about my boobs not tanking up!
Any BTDT advice or remedies to help things along will be gratefully received. I've tried the teas and natural breast feeding tonic from pharmacies last time with no luck, not to say I won't have another go at them, just that I've had no previous success
TIA ladies and sorry for the novel!
