I will throw in my cents on this since I have worked many years as an OB
nurse in a tertiary center with many preeclamptics and unfortunately some
eclamptics. I have seen milk supply coming in normally following MGSO4 for
hypertension and those that struggle. Supply seems to be affected I think by
what the blood pressures do after delivery. If they go down within normal
range the mother will continue into lactogenesis. If the pressures don't
they will be unable to get a full production. Has anyone else seen this? How
about those moms with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension, I mention them because
they seem to continually remain high? Maybe we should ask if their BP is
normal or take it on the lactation visit. Just a thought. Mary Ann Krainz
