[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also had mag and my baby was in the NICU.  During the 24  hours of post-birth mag (which they shorted to 18 hours since my labs looked so much better), the nurses did bring me, in an oversized wheelchair with the mag drip and catheter, to the NICU for a brief visit with baby.  I was so out-of-it from the pre-e and mag that that was all I could manage.  But I was not prevented from seeing him.[/quote]

Pp here who couldn't see the baby for 20 hours.  Where was this?  I'm gathering up "it's not done this everywhere" evidence to steel
Me for my complaint letter to Inova Fairfax.[/quote]

10:44 here -- this was at GW.  Baby was born at 34 weeks and is doing fine now at 8 months.

Also, I didn't start pumping until I was off the mag (probably at least 24 hours after birth), and I assume at some point he had bottles of formula, but mostly he had bottles of colostrum then BM.  When he came home from the hospital, he has been EBF since then.  The delay in pumping, his having bottles (and for a while he had a g-tube) in the NICU, did not adversely impact my milk supply or our nursing relationship.[/quote]
