Glad to hear things are going well. I would not drink any diet soda while pregnant or nursing. Yes, nuts are always a great snack. I like to dip apple slices in some kind of nut butter. |

Well as far as nursing your baby in the bathroom goes, I guess to each her own. I have nursed in public just abut everywhere except the bathroom. I would never eat my lunch in the bathroom and never subjected my baby to the smells and noises and germs that happen in a public restroom. I also never covered my baby while nursing. It looks as I am the odd mom out on this one as well. I too am modest and am not one of those boobs all out nursing in public moms. I had very little money when my son was a baby so expensive nursing bras and shirts were out of the question. I went to old navy and got some of those thin $5 shirts that you can layer so I could pull one up and one down this way the top of my breast was covered and my waist was as well. I nursed in the sling all of the time. I got to the point that I could walk around target and nurse in the sling. Not only did people not know I was nursing, they many times didn't even relize I had a baby in there! I sometimes would use the tail of the sling to cove the top of my breast if necessary but never his head. I nursed openly and modestly all at the same time. There is nothing rude or lude about feeding your baby. Seriously ladies please re consider the bathroom thing, eating and bathrooms just don't mix. Is your modesty really more important than the experience you give your child while they are eating? Just some food for thought. I am not being judgmental, I know that the lack of support that we get from this society, even our own family members can cause us to not make the best choices

Those tests are very unreliable, there are a lot of false positives. You still should be eating a well balanced diet regardless. I suggest drinking full fat milk and dairy, the baby needs the fat and nutrients that are in there. As mentioned no chemical foods like diet soda or diet ice cream. and eat some protein with fruits and grains. Like an apple with a piece of cheese. This will help your body process the sugar in a different way so as to not flood your baby with insulin. You should not be hungry while pregnant and you should not be trying to loose weight. Eat whole foods, especially whole grains and lots and lots of greens, you need the minerals.

Get a sling, this will help you position the baby. Also in just a few months baby will have more head control and you wont need as much support even at home you will probably loose the pillow. Look into a Ring Sling type so you can cradle the baby and adjust the sling to the best position. ( stay away from the baby bjorn, or other front loading carriers, that wont let you nurse very well and is not good for the babies spine. Never ever nurse yout baby in a public restroom, it is not sanitary. If you are exclusively breastfeedingyour baby, that is an extra 500 calories that you get to eat! lucky girl.
