We don't have a match yet, but after talking with a friend who is a midwife/lactation consultant, I decided that I should really start doing something if I want to be able to nurse starting out. I have carried a child to term and successfully breastfed him, so I know I'm at an advantage. I don't really want to go the medical route because I've never taken BC pills before and am worried about clotting side effects (had to take lovenox with DS's pregnancy). I started yesterday evening with pumping to induce and have gotten all of about 10 drops from each breast, which is definitely better than nothing.
Anyone else had success? How did you go about inducing? Strategies? I don't really want to have to start pumping at work until I have a baby if I can avoid it.
