Sara commented on Rebecca's group 'Breastmilk Donors'
By the way, Elizabeth, you might be able to donate to the milk bank that's linked to at the top of this group. hmbana.org They seem to cover parts of southern Canada, as well as the United States.

Elizabeth, the amounts of fenugreek in cooking are probably fine. :) I think they just want to avoid the megadoses that are in the tea/other milk supplements. Keep trying to get through to the milk bank. They might just be closed/busy for the…

Elizabeth, the reason you can't drink mother's milk tea while pumping to donate might be that some infants are sensitive to things in the tea. I know that some babies become very gassy if their moms take fenugreek, I would imagine it would…

Sara commented on Rebecca's group 'Breastmilk Donors'
Rebecca, I met two of the women that I donated to, and one of the babies. I did peer donation because I have some issues with how milk banks are run. Many of them are great, but some of them do things like sell the breast milk to formula companies.…

Sara commented on Rene' Dierking's group 'Hospital births'
This will be my second hospital birth for financial/insurance reasons. My first one went pretty well. I credit that to the fact that I didn't come in until I was 7cm dilated and in no mood to listen to anyone. I discovered a secret: Unless they…

Not due til July 2010, but am planning on pumping and stockpiling as soon as my child is born. :) I donated to three women when my son was younger and it was awesome.

Sara replied to Sara Furlong's discussion 'How to cope with a long car ride to the hospital?!'
You can also go to the hospital earlier in labor, but not "check in" until you reach 'that point'. (Where you're not able to talk through contractions and where they're really intense and you have to seriously move with…

Sara replied to Rachel's discussion 'Why feel pain?'
My personal reasons: 1- I don't respond well to pain meds, most of them make me feel out of it. Add to that that my son, being my genetic offspring, obviously shares a lot of traits with me. I didn't want to expose HIM to something that…
