    What a tragic, tragic story. How absolutely heartbreaking, I can't imagine living with the knowledge that I didn't get help for my baby. Anyway, sorry to take this thread on a tangent, I am the one who made the VBAC comment. I have comforted a frie...
  6. ques. for L&D nurses.(Long)

  14. ? About not breastfeeding

    That is awesome that you have been able to provide breastmilk to your child for so long! Exclusively pumping is a huge committment--I did it for 4 months before my 33-weeker with Down syndrome got the hang of nursing. I was never so happy as the da...
