I just had my mind expanded this morning by Laureen Hudson's hour long online session on how to use the internet to get a message out. Laureen's session “Creating an Online Presence," gave me a wealth of information in a short time and impressed me with how many people are out there who completely rely on the internet for their information. I needed that, and maybe you do, too. - Ina May Gaskin I just hung up the phone from doing the hour long session with
Laureen Hudson on “Creating an Online Presence”. Laureen’s know-how
and expertise were enough to wake up even the birth oldtimers like me and
Ina May to the many unused opportunities of the internet. Laureen’s
engaging and easygoing teaching style made even those scary (to me) terms
like “hypertext, streaming, wordpress, technorati, feedreader and trackback”
start to make sense. Her passion is to reach the generation of young
women who have not yet given birth BEFORE they fall into the black hole
of aggressive obstetrics. I came away from the class today with lots
of ways to improve my website and make it more modern, usable and interesting
for readers. This class will run again this coming Friday (August
22) and I heartily recommend it.
Cost: $35 per session Each session will be 60 minutes in length Creating An Online Presence

There are conflicting thoughts on whether mag. sulfate before the birth
will affect breastfeeding. Here are some relevant excerpts from the
lactnet archives:

compilation of related messages.

Jack Newman, MD, FRCPC claims:
"There is no evidence that mag sulfate decreases the milk supply."
". . . there was an anecdotal report in JHL about a mom whose milk
didn't come in for ten days and then came in like gang busters after prolonged
treatment with Mag Sulfate . . ."
"One of the LCs in my area has observed that moms who were on
mag are also moms with hypertension and edema with fluid in the tissue
space. She has found that milk doesn't come in well until they have
diuresed. Anyone else notice this? I actually thought mag sulfate
would stimulate milk production."
http:
"An article several yrs ago in Peds in Review discusses that mag sulfate
can have an effect on the INFANT, creating transient hypotonia, which possibly
will affect feeding ability -- potentially altering early breast stimulation
- decreasing infant's ability to feed."
