Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Assalamualaikum.

Today I am 39 weeks pregnant with my second baby. How grateful :D, alhamdulillah, it's an easy pregnancy yet again, I didn't vomit at all through this time. No morning sickness at all, at all!! :D

As I came back to Malaysia from the UK, I was already 3 months pregnant, and all the way in the 12-hours flight, I breastfed my Kiwish. He was too clingy, imagine, 8 hours in the flight, he didn't move from my breast, God-forsaken, only He knows how much strength he gave me during that time.

Good bye, London!

Even until now, I still breastfeed Kiwish, directly! Walaupun melibatkan masalah emosi, emak mengamuk malam-malam sebab pinggang sakit, dia masih melekat di you-know-where itu, breastfeeding is still safe for pregnant woman. You may claim that your nipples become more sensitive towards the increasing trimester, but as a mother, it's bearable (I think).

You might want to do a little research about breastfeeding while being pregnant, please do. Boleh dicari di group penyusuan susu ibu di Facebook or just Google. Kalau nak lagi saintifik, you may go for scholarly articles. From my reading, there is still no evidence that this is an issue. Selamat for mommies and breastfed babies as well as babies in the womb. So don't worry, regard it as a bless.

People might say,
tak baik, nanti anak yang menyusu tu mudah sakit
tak baik, nanti anak dalam perut tak cukup nutrien
nanti tak pasal premature contraction

I went through it, and all the sayings are just not right (at least for me). You may try and please not to worry what people say. If you have the love for your kids, you will do it without hesitation. Trust me, your baby will be safe, inside out even though you're breastfeeding.

I wrote this post few weeks ago and now my newborn is 13 days, the big baby, Kiwish is still breastfeeding, but not regularly, he is learning to let it go.................... let it go. Hihi.

Breastfeeding is safe during pregnancy. I did it, and nothing wrong with it.
