| J, our Midwife E who delivered J, and me (seriously, I was still so swollen) at 2 weeks postpartum on April 4, 2011. |
As I lay down on the exam table where my dilation was checked just a mere 18 weeks ago, I held my baby close to me.
Shortly thereafter, he began to fuss and root. There was nothing to do but answer his call. Yes, I nursed my child as I had an internal exam. Ah, what you're capable of as a mother (even the small things) is pretty incredible...and bizarre.
Have you ever nursed your baby in an awkward situation? Do tell!

Aww! You are super cute, so is your midwife, and so is your baby!! Yay for cuteness :)
And Yay for nursing during an exam. When I went in for my 6-week exam, my midwife told me I could nurse while she did the exam if Little M started crying. I love that. <3
I'm trying to dredge up the most awkward situation I've nursed in, but I don't know. It feels so normal I don't remember when I did nurse or didn't you know? I guess when Baby T was hollering in the back seat of the car on the way to the airport and I took of my seatbelt, lifted my shirt, and hovered over him with my boob in his mouth.
I have got to the point where I just do it no matter where we are without thinking twice. However, a couple months ago I went to see my grandmother's choral concert and it was in an old church with wood pews. We were packed in pretty tight. I was next to an elderly gentleman who politely looked away while I nursed my little guy. I think the teens in the balcony got a good peek though.
