Baby worries, boobs - Take 2

Of course as I'm thinking about breastfeeding all week (particularly the past two days) and the trials and tribulations (and rewards??) of it, there is a BabyCenter post with women talking about how their colostrum has already started to come in and express once in a while.

My reaction to this was two-sided:

1: "Phew!  I am SO glad I have not had to deal with anything coming out of my boobs yet!  Ew!"

2: "Uh oh, does this mean mine don't work?  Crap."

*sigh*  Is this what parenting involves?  Constantly having two opposing ideas about what you're supposed to do/think/feel?

Thankfully, I read some comments that this hasn't happened for first time moms whose boobs haven't grown at all yet, which mine haven't, which I am totally thankful for.  I get that for some women this is the first and maybe only time in their lives in which they'll have a full, supple rack... but for those of us who have had to remind people that conversations are *up here* for the past 20+ years (yes, since my early teens), I don't think having the gals get bigger is that joyous.  I, for one, paid good money to have them taken down a few notches and lifted back up to where they might have been.  I know they won't stay where they are now and I've made peace with that idea . . . but I haven't yet been able to deal with the idea that they're going to be bigger.  I don't want that attention again.

Yes, yes, it's all in the service of providing nourishment for the baby. I get it; I understand.  But while that's going on, I have to deal with carrying them around.

Then I came across this post by BreederBrain, "What I Love About Pumping," where she talks about her PumpEase pumping support.  Happily, she provided a link for those of us not sure what she was talking about.  Naturally, I clicked on that link . . . and then I winced.  Seriously.

Yowch!  Are they serious?  That looks like some kind of S&M device - and that is the most modest of the sample pictures.  Some of the other pictures show the nipples being pulled through those openings in a way that made mine hurt just looking at them.  I don't mind a playful swat at my behind, but I've never seen the pleasure in nipple tweaking . . . and now?  When they've hurt every single day since I got pregnant?  (Yes, every day.)  I can't fathom attaching something to them. They hurt when I take my bra off at night and now I'm supposed to hang something from them like they're party favors?

And the differently patterned fabrics seem like they're there solely to trick us into thinking this is fashionable, like it's just another version of the Gaulthier cone bra Madonna used to wear.

I am happy that BreederBrain's next post is going to be about why she hates pumping.  It seems that even the most dedicated breastfeeders (is that the term?) dislike, or even hate, pumping.  Phew.  I feel better knowing that I don't have to enjoy feeling like a cow connected to a milking machine.  Yech.

(That all said, I am very grateful that these pumping mechanisms exist. I wouldn't even be able to consider being a working, breastfeeding mom without one.)

And just so you know, the nips are currently aching with pain solely due to the composition of this blog post.  And probably because it's cold in here.  And because I'm pregnant.

Pumping sucks--no pun intended. Double pumping made me feel like a cow being milked on a dairy farm. For me, one of the parts I really hated about pumping was the noise of the pump. The mechanical sound of the suction really got to me.

Oh, and why would a double pump support be made in the patter of red with white polkadots?! It just makes the whole thing look more ridiculous!
