A few weeks back, I posted about a mother in pre-term labour.  On bed 
rest with pain in her breasts and non-stop milk flowing.  Quite a few of 
you, with experience of this type of pre-term labour, were quite 
concerned and made it clear she needed to take the bed rest seriously.

Well, at just shy of 38 weeks, mother was induced due to fluid levels 
being at 39 ccs and was already at 3 cms and 75% effaced.  Baby was born 
vaginally, under epidural, spent 30 minutes not moving much on the 
mother, skin to skin without interruption, and then self latched.  
Perfect latch. 7lbs 13ozs. 

Mother cannot praise the midwives enough, who fought off the OBs when 
they pronounced a c-section 'had to happen'.  (Midwifery unit at 
University of Utah, Salt Lake City).

Initial issues with massive oversupply, mother got proper support.  Baby 
just gone for two week check up, exclusively breastfed, growing like a 
weed, 9lbs, 7ozs, mother and baby as happy as clams.  :-)

Just a little gladness to lift your spirits.  Not bad for a first time 
mother who went into pre-term labour at 30 weeks.  :-)
