Does pumping while 42 weeks pregnant....

Question

pumping while 42 weeks pregnant...." /> 
I'm 2 weeks overdue and heard pumping helps bring in labour. I dont want to hear the usual "baby will come when shes ready" and all the negative nay-sayers trying to cause upset or aggravation. I merely want to read facts.
Does it bring on labour? Is there a chance of miscarriage if you're 42 weeks pregnant?

Answer

Have you spoke about being induced? You shouldn’t go past 42 weeks x

Answer

I’ve been told that it CAN cause labor, but it won’t always. 
Agree with other commenters about discussing induction with your OB, ASAP. After 42 weeks gestation the risk to your baby goes up significantly.

Answer

You definitely need to be induced asap.

Answer

42 weeks?! Oooof! I’d be so nervous of delivering a stillborn. The placenta will quit working soon. I hope you get that baby out soon and safe! At the office I work at, if you aren’t delivered by 41w3d. You are induced that evening/next am.

Answer

Unless you are induced there isn’t much that will bring on labour unless your body is ready. I literally tried everything, including pumping & still was induced. You can try but it more than likely won’t work unless baby is ready.

Answer

Pumping did nothing for me

Answer

Pumping isn’t necessarily going to cause labor or anything- I would speak to your doctor about inducing labor because you shouldn’t have gone over 10 days past your due date.
