My Embarrassing Moment of Breastfeeding

This was actually my entry to Chronicles of a Nursing Mom contest, I collage my photos because this is where my embarrassing story is all about.

I breastfeed everywhere! No problem when we're at home but the challenge always starts when we have to go out...

 

I don't shy away in breastfeeding my newborn. I'm actually proud of it, and I wanna be a good example for moms and future moms out there that you could still look fab and decent even when breastfeeding in the public. lol Nothing to be ashamed of! Yet I learned that  Nothing to be ashamed of! means you have to breastfeed your babe with helpers that won't fail you.

By helpers, i refer to nursing bras, cover ups and the likes.

On my photo, I didn't wear a nursing bra (actually, i don't have a nursing bra yet) and i don't have a decent cover up. It's my babe's first monthly check up and its windy outside. Since we're in a public/crowded place (pedia's clinic inside the mall) I had a hard time! Balancing him out inside my not so steady cover up especially while walking! its awkward to maintain my position, leveling his head on my breast while making sure his nose aren't covered and my boob is not exposed (personally, that's the decent part of breastfeeding publicly, NO EXPOSURE) all at the same time. And as I mentioned, its windy, so the cover up (idk the proper term) always gets out of the place, exposing everything!

I decided to use a cloth-pin and oh yes its still quite embarrassing! But at least I wont worry about the thing flying around. Some would comment, nice thinking! Smiling back at them, I know deep inside how weird-looking I am and as I'm more self-conscious than ever, no, i don't take their side unsolicited comments as compliments, its more like mocking to me.

Gah! But I just think/remind to myself, who cares? Me? I must not focus on me, I realized that I should continue nursing my babe and give his needs (breastmilk) anytime anywhere he wants it, because no one but me can give his needs.

I smile whenever I remember how he love my embrace. And how hypnotic my breastfeeding to him. I think he feels secured when he could feel my bosom and smell my mommy-ness. hee hee

Baby Clyde Inside! :D

It's okay to say that I totally forgot to share this a long time ago... But I don't think it's too late. Well, I had the perfect excuse, I was overwhelmed with what was going on then and what was about to happen so I haven't blog about it yet up until now... What I was talking about were my prenatal pictures! :D I only got two shots on seeing the babe inside using ultrasound.

Before I move there, I would like to share my letter to my bread in the oven...

As you obviously could tell, I jot this down after my second and final ultrasound and dad already decided what to name him. And, if you're wondering where I did this, I used an online scrapbooking application from Johnson's and Johnson's. :)

Using the same online application, here are my prenatal pictures:

I'd got two chances of peaking inside. One was to confirm I was positively pregnant, and the last was to confirm the gender. Just to let you see the details more clearly, here's the cropped photos of my first ultrasound:

two week old embryo clyde (sorry for the poor quality)

Like I said on my previous posts, I've been taking care of this babe in all possible way I can, like not drinking or eating things I'm not sure safe, and the like... I'm so impressed and amazed on how God works wonders. This embryo is now an 8kg active baby boy!

I don't know about you, but there are days when I miss being this big!

Yeah, you got it, I miss being pregnant, bulky, sore in the back even the stretchmarks... :P I had regular monthly check up with my OB and as my 23 weeks came, she scheduled me for this fun-filled heart-pounding ultrasound check up!

I can tell that this is his favorite "position" :P Read more and you'll know why!
