Woman had AB yesterday.  All went well as can  be expected.  She was mainly
worried  how the procedure would affect her supply and really wasn't too
concerned about the drugs, figuring if moms bfeed after a general c/s then
she could after this.

She feels physically fine, went home and nursed and nursed and nursed as
much as that baby will let her.

Emotionally she's a bit frazzled, but was helped by a (thankfully) very
sensitive doctor who didn't chastize her for using LAM.  The doctor told
her that it was just pure dumb luck and she should feel no more at fault
than if a pill or condom failed.  Evidently she was really afraid (in
abscence of a more traditional birth control method) she'd be seen as a
careless woman using AB as birth control.

She has great family support, including from her husband and mother.  She
should be fine, and reports she finds the bfeeding very healing.

Has plans to use condoms and spermicide until child is two when her dh will
likely get a vasectomy.

-Wendey (studying LC in Montreal where it's cool and calm after a scorching
hot gorgeous day).
