Hi all! I think I know a lot of you, but for those who don't know me, I am a sahm with my daughter Isabelle (17 mo.). We did Bradley & desperately wanted to have a natural childbirth. Things didn't quite happen how I wanted, but I am hoping for vbac.
Resources are so few and far between in our community. I am always interested in meeting like-minded moms who will help support my childbirthing desires.

"Man, we have trail time then! Hopefully next time!"
"Just found out about a field trip that morning. Next time!"
"All things being equal, we'll be there."
"Is there any place in BR to be fitted for a nursing bra? If not in BR maybe Lafayette or NO area? I heard there might be a place in Mandeville. Anyone know what that is called? Thanks!"
"Strong maybe!"
"Thank you for all of your suggestions so far! They have been tremendous help!"
"In a little over a week I have to get a contrast MRI. The doctor is recommending I pump and dump for 24 hours. Quick research online says this isn't totally necessary. Does anyone have further info on this? ... MoreIt always makes me feel better when it comes from someone in this group vs. just online research. Other possibly pertinent info - my son will be a couple days shy of 7 months old when I have it. I'd guess he weighs about 17 lbs. It may be pms rearing its ugly head, but I've gotten ridiculously weepy at the thought of having to pump and dump for 24 hours. He will take a bottle, although he doesn't really like it. I do have some milk in the freezer and I can certainly pump more in the next week. Logically I know we are well-established and even if I didn't nurse for 24 hours I would have plenty of milk (although it would be insanely painful), but still it's an upsetting thought. Any input or words of wisdom will be appreciated! "
"Will depend on how the week plays out. Fingers crossed!"
"It's Chris' Friday off, so I am not sure what we have planned."
