Pumping at 37 weeks pregnant? I'm wanting to build up a supply due to not taking a lot of time off of work and because my fiance will be helping feed our son as well.

Colostrum typically doesn’t come in until after delivery. Pumping before can cause the start of labor. You’ll still have 3 more weeks at that point so it’s not a good idea.

I agree, it can start labor and there probably isn’t anything to pump yet

It’s not advised to pump prior to birth, we tell our patients that it’s a firm no. Plus it can lead you to go into labour. You can actually hinder your supply by doing this before birth honestly.

A lot of your milk supply is triggered by the change in hormones directly after birth..so trying to force lactation before hand can actually lead to little milk production and a dried up supply by the time baby comes. I work on L&D and also trained in lactation so this I can advise on. Not only can it cause early labour it can actually hinder your production after birth.

My dr. Office doesn’t write your script until you’re 38 weeks bc people try pumping before hand.
