Boosting supply before birth

I don't know if this is a silly question or not...So here goes:

Is there a way to help strengthen/boost your milk supply before giving birth?  With my daughter, I just could not produce enough milk.  I tried the lactation cookies with brewers yeast, Mother's Milk Plus with fenugreek, prescription Reglan...I was under the care of a lactation consultant.  I pumped with a hospital grade pump to help boost as well when I wasn't BFing.  I lasted 7 weeks (with what little BM I had + with formula) and that was because I was stubborn.  Towards the end of the 7 weeks, I don't think I had any milk. 

Now that I am pregnant again, I want to know if there is anything I could possibly do to prepare my milk supply for the new baby.  With my daughter, I had no problem with latching.  I never felt my milk come in or fill my milk drop.  I had no sensation.  I just saw white when I was seeing colostrum.
