I work full time in an office environment, and I also have cocerns about when I return to work having leakage, and also about using a pump period, it just sounds so mechanical and awful, not to mention uncomfortable. I know they will probably go over all this with me at the hospital, but I have this nagging feeling I won't enjoy it at all or I'll be so embarrased about it that I won't want anyone in the room even at the hospital when I attempt it. I have to have a c-section also, and am also concerned about pain from this and trying to recover, and having to feed baby every 2 hours and never getting any rest in order to recover from surgery. I've had 2 c-sections prior, but I have never attempted breast feeding before as my husband at the time was in no way supportive of it, and with my funny feelings about my breasts I didn't even try. However my husband now (JW) is highly supportive of it and of me, and I know he will help with everything (he does now), but he really can't help with breastfeeding, it's all up to me.

I wish I knew why I am so inhibited against it. Thank you all for your PM's also. I appreciate it.

I will thank everyone ahead of time for not turning this thread into something it ought not to be.

I am expecting my third child and have never breast fed before. My questions are these:

Has anyone ever been painfully shy of their breasts in public? I always have been, I just feel very weird about attention being given to them in ways I'd rather not, and feel that breastfeeding is going to make me even more aware of it and shy/inhibited, even if I am covered with a blanket,etc.

I have read all I can about breast feeding. I have a really dumb question that I would rather ask someone in a PM as it just seems too embarrasing to ask here.

If there are any Moms out there who would like to share their expereinces here about how it went for you, I'd appraciate it. For some reason I am shy/fearful about it and I know I shouldn't be (natural, best for baby, bonding, etc.)

Thanks-

i haven't picked up any publication of my husband's for a long time.

this morning i was up early, and decided to take a look at today's reading, as the book is always on the kitchen table.

sorry i don't remember the name of the book (daily reading??).

Fairchild-that was classic. You the student doing more "study" than the elders..........

WP-I agree, an "Examining the Scriptures Daily" text blurb would be great, as with Blondie's WT study. Hopefully someone would be willing to do that!

Exactly, DanTheMan. How thrilling to see see a vengeful and wrathful God destroy everything , and how smug can one feel thinking you will be spared? I read that and felt sick. Thrilling? Eeeesh.

Oh and I do have a cat, maybe she'll have a hairball go awry and land on the "daily" book.

Tee hee, I'd be in big trouble if I did that! I could blame it on demons, perhaps?

Aha Crumpet that is the one, thanks! Nothing upbuilding about it at all, to me. But I only read a few days' worth of entries. That was enough.
