I am over 39 weeks pregnant. would using my breast pump be a bad idea? I'd like to try to bring on labor, has it worked for any other mommies?



I'm high risk and my doctors said I could do it with the pump or my husband could. they told me that it releases a natural hormone that causes the uterus to contract just like when your baby nurses
oh okay I just wanna make sure it doesn't do harm to the baby! so its okay? @ashley1215
I did it and it worked for me. the doctors told me to give it a try and about 3 days later after doing it a couple times a day I had my daughter. I wasn't dilated at all though so it took time
yeah I would look it up I think I seen that on the I'm expecting app so it could be wrong lol
haha well I'll still look it up just to be sure! ive had no labor symptoms and I'm just trying to jump start this a little! @alicia3_18
I'm just talking lol. I dunno Dont take my word on it lol.
haha I have never seen it. I've heard it give you contractions and brings in labor. I don't know anything about the baby being squished :P @alicia3_18
I dunno for sure but I heard it makes the uterus or cervex smaller? so I'd be scared it would squish the baby. I have no clue if that's possible lol.
@klander95, I was 39 weeks
