Hi, All:  Very interesting posts to this topic!  I find it useful when talking with 
moms about anything, to word my conversation with her in such a way that I 
am talking in generalities.  I use phrases like:  "some or many moms may 
experience...in a similar situation" or " I have had other moms tell me...".  This 
way the information is less likely to be perceived as a personal failure or 
deficiency by the mother.  It also gives her hope that her particular experience 
might be different.  It is not fair to her or her baby not to lay out all 
possibilities or options to her.  Informing her of ALL the available possibilities 
only helps her make the decisions that are right for her.
