What are you in pain with to be taking 60mg codeine? X
Sometimes I have better sessions than others! What helps the most is having a warm bath, really massaging each side and making sure I'm in the right mindset. If I'm feeling stressed or my mind is elsewhere I feel like I don't get as much! Try sitting in the babies room or looking at scan photos/listening to music etc. I can imagine if you are in pain that that isn't helping x I wouldn't worry too much though, anything you get will be a bonus and your supply will increase massively once placenta is delivered 💕
