Thanks to everyone who sent prayers and thoughts after my delivery of
stillborn Rachel Lynn.  The general consensus was sage tea or capsules and
continuous cabbage leaves.  Day 4 was the worst,  by day 6 I felt relief,
then quickly on day 7 and 8 back to "normal".  I cant imagine formula feeding
moms doing that do themselves on purpose!!  My lovely 21 month old dtr was
very scared at the sight of my engorged breasts, and the cabbage really
frieked her out...so she was unwilling to nurse at all.:(  One positive note,
 I think the stress of the situation shut down my let down system so I had
little to no leaking the entire time.

Again thanks to all, I will return to lactnet land in a week or so, hoping to
get blood work back this week with some answers to her cause of death.
