So I'm 37 weeks exactly and I was wondering if it was okay to pump prior to giving birth, starting sometime this week. My breasts just feel so engorged sometimes and I heard that it's possible to pump and save colostrum. And I was told by a doctor that even if I pump my colostrum before birth that my body will start to produce more once the baby is born. I was just going to start with a simple manual pump and save whatever is worth saving.
