has anyone tried breast pumping for a kick start to labor? just curious as to how well it worked and…

it's dangerous to do so. it can cause contractions to come too fast too soon.

your also not far enough along to be trying to start labor.

She only 36 weeks which is close to 37 week and being considered full term she safe. Plus I was thinking the same thing hmmm 🤔 I can ask my doctor

actually my son is considered full term, I'm 37 weeks tomorrow which would make me full term. and my Dr told me to do whatever I deem necessary to get him out naturally before I have to be induced. I've been in on and off active labor since 32 weeks, I'm 4 cm dilated, and 90% effaced... I've got the go ahead to do whatever. i was simply just trying to find out if it really worked and would be worth it, my baby is in no danger. @aphrodite2014

@deafmama16 if you find out, please let me know!

Hmmm I guess it be ok if nothing else not working but I will let you know what I found out @theeonlyjeni

@theeonlyjeni, 37 weeks is only considered term not full term for any pregnancy regardless of complications. at 37 weeks they are okay to be born but it's always best to let then cook. if your serious about it and your doctor approved it he should have given you tools to help induce labor appropriately. but pumping isn't it.. nipped stimulation can be done but there is a right and wrong way to do it
