Reply to "Breastfeeding"

Hi Chantalworld...sounds like we are on the same path. I've had my pouch for about 12-13 years now. Went through quite a few fertility treatments and IVF worked for us as well. My c-section is scheduled for March 3rd. During pregnancy my bowels have definetly been acting differently and have been backed up a bit. Fresh fruit always helps. One thing I find that has helped me in terms of keeping things moving along- and keeping myself full and happy are adding protein shakes in the morning.  Sometimes I blend my own with fruits( berries and bananas), protein from either almond or peanut butter, almond milk and maybe some chia seeds. Or I'll even make my own veggie juices ( only problem with juicing is lack of protein) so would need to add that to your breakfast some other way). I also really like Orgain plant based protein powder in chocolate flavor. You can mix it with just water and some crushed ice...or blend it with bananas and almond milk. I find this shake to really fill me and help keeps things moving along as well. I plan to use it while breastfeeding. There are concerns I have with breastfeeding as well...I will have to switch medication again and am nervous how I'll respond( I have chronic pouchitis) . I'm also nervous how I'll do recovering from the c-section in general. Either way- taking care of yourself is important so you can care for baby! So do whatever you feel is right for your family. Good Luck!
