I agree with Barbara Wilson Clay's observations of systemic edema and
delay in lactogenesis. I have seen a series of women who have received
pitocin, lots of IV fluids in labor. They typically have extreme edema
of the legs and sometimes the areolar tissue. Milk comes in very late,
past the 5th day and it comes in in drips. I usually get a call that a
baby is not gaining, or is dehydrated.  I agree that a study is needed.
Now, I always question about edema, IV, Pitocin etc. and I'm keeping a
list of these women.
