Re: [ozmidwifery] Lactation after ART

This is an interesting discussion for me. I have PCOS but conceived my son without any drugs. I had immense problems with my milk simply not arriving until over a week after my son was amputated from me. So in my case, it was the trauma of caesarean and hospital staff, not the illness. I've had a p

RE: [ozmidwifery] The 'wrong' gender

I wanted another girl when I had baby no.3. I was so disappointed to get this boy that it took weeks for me to bond with him. It was so obvious to the staff that they notified him as a baby at risk to the MCHN. Happy ending, I adjusted, he soon became the light of my life. But it was awful,

Re: [ozmidwifery] Lactation after ART

Fair comment Jo. I realise infertility is a male & female issue, and the majority of women with PCOS will breastfeed successfully. I have been a midwife for a long time & I have never seen the low supply problems like I have lately. I strongly suspect one of the big reasons for the baby not fee

Re: [ozmidwifery] Lactation after ART

Re: [ozmidwifery] Lactation after ART

Thank you for this Michelle. I work in a private hosp also and that is exactly what we midwives have suggested. Perhaps it is more noticeable in private hospitals because the women have more access to ART?? (Don't want to start a war there!!). Cheers Jenny Jennifer Cameron FRCNA FACMPresident

Re: [ozmidwifery] Lactation after ART

I am currently undergoing IVF for secondary infertility. I have PCO, not PCOS, but my hormones are without a doubt whacky. However, I breastfed my daughter for 2.5 years. The first 3 months, particularly the first 8 weeks were utter hell, but not because of low supply. One thing I never had, at

RE: [ozmidwifery] Lactation after ART

I don't want to shoot you down on the "skinny" thing, but I was one of those skinny teenagers, barely a breast to speak of. I even believed that it may prevent me to b/feed. Well, 4 kids later, all breastfed, 2 for 18 months, 1 for 2 1/2 yrs and my 16 mth old is as dedicated as they get. I stupidly

RE: [ozmidwifery] Lactation after ART

Another observation about women who have had ART, they are often anxious. It is difficult for an anxious woman to sit and finish a breast feed properly, or even sometimes recognise feeding cues. I wouldn't completely discount a hormonal link, although the hormones play a larger part in earl

Re: [ozmidwifery] Lactation after ART

Re: [ozmidwifery] Lactation after ART

Hi Jenny,   This is something that I noticed as well when working in a private hospital in Hobart.  The general consensus by the midwives there was that if a woman needed help to become pregnant then perhaps there was an underlying cause which would then interfere with lactation. The midwives there
