You need an awful lot of nipple stimulation hun..... I remember my CBE saying it needed to be hours of straight stimulation to bring on labour!

I have been expressing (only if I am out and miss a feed) and so far so good!

LOL Weegee... I check their now before I post ]]> Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:29:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32259&PID=970975&title=can-you-safely-express-while-bf-and-pg#970975 <![CDATA[Can you safely express while BF and pg? : ^she means no it&#039;s not risky,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32259&PID=968020&title=can-you-safely-express-while-bf-and-pg#968020 Author: weegee

^she means no it's not risky, not no you can't safely express

Yes nipple stimulation can cause uterine contractions, but so do orgasms. Some (very very few) people with particular medical histories are advised to avoid sex during pregnancy for that reason, so if you're in that category then I suppose it'd be something to ask the doctor about (although I imagine uterine contractions from orgasm are more powerful than from expressing?), but if you still plan to have sex during pregnancy then I would say it's not an issue

As always there's a kellymom page on the topic ]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:48:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32259&PID=968020&title=can-you-safely-express-while-bf-and-pg#968020 <![CDATA[Can you safely express while BF and pg? : Well, people continue to bf while...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32259&PID=968005&title=can-you-safely-express-while-bf-and-pg#968005 Author: fattartsrock

Well, people continue to bf while ttc and feed through pregnancies and even tandem feed, so I would say no!!!!]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:57:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32259&PID=968005&title=can-you-safely-express-while-bf-and-pg#968005 <![CDATA[Can you safely express while BF and pg? : no, I&#039;m not pg (that I know...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32259&PID=967923&title=can-you-safely-express-while-bf-and-pg#967923 Author: Emmecat

no, I'm not pg (that I know of) but have just bought an electric breast pump as find them easier than my manual one now. I don't plan to express often....probably a couple of times a week just to have a bit of a collection so DF and I can go out for the night or he can do the odd bottle etc.

My question is though, if I become pg, can I safely express, BF *and *  not risk m/c or anything?  Just I heard that nipple stimulation can cause uterine contractions etc and while I realise BF is also suction, I  just wondered if expressing would be more risky or something? I dunno sounds kind of dumb when I write it out but didn't think before I bought and cos we are TTC# 2 and I'd like to continue BF, I just suddenly wondered hmmmm.....
