update

I finally had my beautiful little annabella on jan 20 at 1:49 am she was 6 lbs 10 oz and 21 inchs long. They he'd to induce me on jan 19 because they didn't want to run a risk thet something could be wrong with my liver and I was already 39 weeks so they just induced me but I do have a question  since this is my first time being a mom and I don't reall know much about being a mom I can't ask mine I lost mine so I will ask all of you. Annabella or for short aj her nails are getting long and she is starting to scratch her face how do I  clip them or get them so where she don't scratchh her face anymore . And another question I tried to breast feed but my nipples started to peel or not the nipples and the dark area aroun them is that normal? How can I fix it so I can breast feed?

You'll be fine! All first-time Mums have the same concerns as you, it will get better once you have a routine established and simply as time goes by.

With her nails, cut them in her sleep or get her scratching mittens to cover them, that way her hands and fingers remain warm.

Try some lanolin or lanosil on your nipples, it is not harmful to your baby, is a natural product which is great for sore or chapped nipples.

Wait until she is asleep to cute her nails. And my nipple's did the same thing. And they told me I could still breast feed.
