Jan Barger, our defender of common sense during pregnancy, will probably
love this one.  The mom needs a drug to help her uterus return to normal,
even though she's nursing.  Yet some people (possibly even the same doctor)
will blame her miscarriage on the oxytocin produced during nursing.  Talk
about a Catch-22!
