wow!  I couldn't imagine not breastfeeding - I had no idea it had that kind of
ability!

It sounds like I have alot of options for garments - good to know.  I guess I
should get going on choosing fabrics If I plan to make it to the memorial day
weekend feast for Ansetorra in Oklahoma.

I am very interested in the herbal kits that have been mentioned.  Obviously I
don't have much time to prepare much of it, but if the timing is right I might
be able to bring some of it with me.  Any suggestions for newborns?

thank you all for your suggestions, comments, and messages.  The pressure for
induction was getting rather overwhelming - your down to earth comments really
brought me back to my original decision for a natural childbirth.
