@alyen2 my son was born at 35 wks and he was in the NICU for over a week just because his body wouldn't keep it self warm so I would wait if I was you. Even if you do start pumping its only going to be very little and colostrum (which is the most needed at birth). I didn't produce 4days until after I gave birth so my son had to have donated breast milk.

you are 38 weeks so It's safe for you to do, but your baby will need the colostrum that your breast produce the first days of birth.

okay thank you!! c:@alyen2

It won't be milk. Only a little bit of colostrum. Not worth it in my opinion.

is it still dangerous if I'm 38 weeks? @happymama203

pumping before your due can send you into preterm labor

you only have colostrum until a few days after you give birth and your milk comes it.

You shouldn't, from what I hear
