I definitely drink more than I did before i was pregnant, but maybe not enough? </p> <p>pre-pregnancy i was a bit camel-like, i would go entire days without drinking anything (bad I know) my mom &amp; sister are the same way.... being pregnant and post pregnancy i definitely find myself more thirsty &amp; drinking way more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-when-pumping-amp-bfing#post-591632 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:40:17 +0000 sarac 591632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this badly at the start of nursing, and at 17 months, it's not totally gone. Sorry. I had a lot of mild nausea all through out pregnancy too. Not bad, just kind of constantly irritating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-when-pumping-amp-bfing#post-591528 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:07:55 +0000 mrsjazz 591528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have that anymore, but in the first 5 months or so this happened to me. Ditto to what @cascademom: said, hydrate like crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-when-pumping-amp-bfing#post-591524 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:06:21 +0000 Bao 591524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this happen when LO was younger, I think making sure you are hydrated and have had enough to eat would help...at least it helped me a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-when-pumping-amp-bfing#post-591522 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:05:22 +0000 cascademom 591522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get that all the time. It's just a function of pumping and breastfeeding. I try to be super hydrated before feeding and pumping. Someone told me once that before and after a feeding or pumping drink down twice as much water as you feel you can, then you'll be hydrated enough for it. What's funny is that I remember having to be hydrated while pregnant, more thirsty at night. With breastfeeding, I feel like I ran a marathon with one feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-when-pumping-amp-bfing#post-591521 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:04:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 591521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It also could be that breastfeeding contracts your uterus. I know I felt that a lot and I could see how it would cause nasuea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nausea-when-pumping-amp-bfing#post-591517 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:03:20 +0000 hellobeeboston 591517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey all - this is just a weird thing and I'm wondering if others experience this.</p> <p>LO is 4 months old, and in the last few weeks, when I'm pumping or when I'm nursing, I get a wave of nausea. Sometimes it lingers a bit, and sometimes its fast, by the time i'm done its gone.</p> <p>I feel letdown occasionally in between pumping/feeding and don't get the same nausea.</p> <p>Weird right? This didn't happen in the first 3 months.... I'm guessing it's hormones? </p>
