What are must haves of breastfeeding?

This might be tmi but I recently miscarried and oddly enough with my milk still coming in it makes me realized how much I missed pumping/nursing. I only made it 3 months with my last but now I’m more motivated than ever to make my breastfeeding journey work whenever I have another baby again.

This can be things you NEED or just helpful things.

I already have manual pedela pump, spectra 1 &2, extra parts and flange sizing kit. I have a couple nursing bras as well.

1 kid circumcised and other intact?

I debated having my son get circumcised and as soon as I saw the wound I immediately regretted it. Therefore, with my next potential son I wouldn’t like to do the procedure. Is that weird for one of my kids to be intact and the other not?

Should I prepare for the worst or has this happened to you and ended well?

I had my period June 17th

Ovulated July 2nd (used clear blue advanced tests to track)

tested positive July 12th

and today August 6 I am measuring only 6 weeks not 7 weeks with a low heart rate of 102

I have another ultrasound in 2 weeks but should I not get my hopes up?

I understand 102 is normal for 6 weeks but even the doctor said it’s on the lower end.

My main concern is if I am 6 weeks and I tested positive July 12th that just doesn’t not make sense/add up.

No flashing smile on advanced clear blue OPK

I started testing a couple days sooner than the app predicted as I just had a gut feeling. I got a 0 (low fertility sign) Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday then Thursday today I got a static smile.

I am worried because the other days I tested around 10am (second urine of the day) but today I woke up later and tested around noon with the second urine of the day.

I know the packet says 1st urine of the day but I’ve used these tests before and second urine seems to be more accurate as previously said I wasn’t ovulating when I was using 1st morning urine.

I had sex today (Thursday) and will today and tomorrow and probably the day after tomorrow.

I am still worried I missed my ovulation or maybe that it is still coming up idk.

My menstruation phase is usually the 17th of each month for 4/5 days.

I am scared I already ruined this cycle for trying😭

DPO unknown faint positive??

I took this after I already had a positive from the wondfo brand and was unsure so this was NOT first pee of the day and I will take another tomorrow

Should I accept I’m not pregnant or keep testing?

I tested this morning 11 days since unprotected sex (about 11 days since ovulation) and I’m not even having a faint line on any test I take.

Should I accept I’m not pregnant or keep testing?
