[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a 35 yr old FTM...due in november with a little boy.

My husband will be home for the first 2 weeks with me and I'm taking 16 weeks off.  Sometimes I get up in the middle of the night to pee and can barely get back to bed fast enough - I'm so tired.

How will I do it those first few weeks when I'm nursing every hour/few hours?

Please tell me a little bit about the first 4 weeks...anything you wish someone had told you?

What advice and tips besides [b]"get your sleep now" [/b]can you offer all the expectant FTM's on this forum?  [/quote]

Two kids and I slept much better MUCH BETTER that first month than in the last weeks of pregnancy.  In fact I find the newborn stage a breeze.  There is some tiredness in recovering from the birth (exhausting for me with long labors and very large babies all natural) but the actual day to day was very easy for me because they slept most of the time.  Nursing was also very natural and easy, like it is for many women (please don't be put off by all the negativity) and I had few other responsibilities at that point apart from my kids.  It's a magical time, especially with your first.

Congratulations![/quote]
