Also... there's a small chance I might not be able to breastfeed this baby because of the meds I am taking (olanzapine and fluoxetine). I haven't even dared to tell her... she's so against medication and she's so pro-breastfeeding it's ridiculous. She's going to think (and tell me) that I'm the worst mother EVER if I don't breastfeed this baby. I will not get a moments peace from her nagging at me.

So, that email makes me really want to have the swine flu jab just to spite her.

Also, my sister has started self harming (she's 12, nearly 13) so that makes all three of us... common link? MUM!

*cuddles* it sounds like you are having a hard time with your mum, im sure she is just concerned and its hard to get the balance of family life right.

as for the swine flu jag, i had mine last tuesday, im a nurse and we regularly have patients with both query and confirmed swine flu on our ward so i felt like i had to get the jag, if you read the NHS info, http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Pandemi...nantwomen.aspx it is the most reliable there is alot of scaremongering out there about the safety of the vaccination, but the facts are if you are pregnant and catch swine flu it is likely you will be extremely ill

as for breast feeding, i was told the same, and to be honest i would rather be mentally well and bottle feed my baby, than fall back in to my depression and self harm where i would be unable to care for my baby. they say breast is best and it is but bottle fed babies thrive just as well too

and im really sorry to hear about your sister *big hugs*
