Pumping early

I personally wouldn't pump and I've never seen a doctor say it was okay to pump before 38 weeks, if you want to save your milk, get some milk savers and freeze what you leak. ☺️

That will definitely throw you in labor it's not recommended that early. Not until 37+ weeks

As I midwife I wouldn't be recommending pumping until 37+ weeks. The stimulation from your breasts can cause uterine contractions and put you at risk of premature labour. Any literature also suggests that if the intent is not for induction then to stop stimulating the breasts even beyond 37 weeks if uterine contractions occur.  If you are leaking that much maybe you could find some quiet time through out the day to sit with a small cup and collect what comes out on its own. When my health service discusses antenatal expressing it only don't by hand not with a pump either. Good luck. By the sounds of it your baby is going to have a great supply of breast milk!!!

I wouldn't risk pumping that early as it can lead to early labour. I personally would wait until at least 37weeks.

I agree. I think it would throw you into labor

Don't pump if you plan on breastfeeding in the hospital. You're pumping colostrum which the baby needs the most right after birth and if you pump you won't have it. Also yes it can cause contractions.
