I wanted to add that sometimes your milk comes in faster the second time...and after each pregnancy. (Not always- but usually). I pumped in the beginning because my milk came in after just a couple days and it was really painful if I went too long and he wasn't ready to eat yet. But I guess there are mixed views on pumping. My thought would just be nurse, and let you be the "paci" in the first weeks and this will increase your supply.

Great advice about the baby sensing your stress! Put on a relaxing music cd while you nurse too. Warm showers before you feed will help...I forgot ALL about that.

And also what Darci said about natural doesn't always equal easy...but in the end it is so worth it.

Keep asking questions and don't give up!

The day you deliver, outside will be warm. Your baby will arrive in the evening.After a labor lasting approximately 5 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 15 ounces, and will be 17-1/2 inches long. This child will have blue eyes and dark hair.
