I  happy to share my schedule for pumping for any curious mommies!

Yes pumping really can send you into labor because the hormone released when you letdown is the same one that causes contractions.

Whyyyyyy what's happening to this world. The baby is to get the first part of the breast milk when it's born why would anyone think to pump before the baby even comes. Like seriously did you mom or her mom do that. Which doc told you that's ok did that docs mom do that. What's wrong for a baby to suck the milk itself 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️☹️☹️. Smh this world.

Answer

I'm confused as to why you need to bring colostrum to the hospital? Your body will produce what your baby needs. Honestly, pimping too much will cause an oversupply. I'm on number two, breastfed number 1 to 9 months (I had PLENTY in the freezer) and didn't start pumping until he was almost 8 weeks old.

Answer

I'm almost 38 weeks! And I've been pumping since I was 36 weeks! I haven't gone into labor yet but I go to have my baby tomorrow. I pumped about an hour ago and got 3.5 ounces.

Answer

Are you able to get enough out? Does it hurt? Just curious. I'm only 30 weeks but something to think about
