Pumping

[GSangel]

Okay 2 questions here ladies...........

1. I know its a way to get labor going so when we get much closer to the due date do you think that is a way to try and get it going without the adding the possibilty of urterine rupture? I am planning on asking my OB at our next appt.


2. We won a new medela pump but I dont like medela. I am going to be pumping (not for surrobaby) but wondering what other pumps are good. Before I used Evenflo and it worked great but we didnt keep it. ANy suggestions?

Nona has some pretty good pumps and would be of some good help in this department. I think I read something about a PIS?!? I know nothing about breast pumps :rofl

Anyways if you had a C-section before I would be a little leary of just pumping to get contractions started. Sometimes pumping to get labor started really works well and can cause some strong contractions like pitocin would cause. I would ask a midwife or your OB just to be safe. Pumping to get labor started never worked for me. I had contractions but they felt like BH contractions.

I would only do it if OB said it was okay. I still need a pump because I am pumping for someone who needs the breast milk. I am almost about 100% sure that I am going to have to have a csection becuase this baby is a big one. Thanks for the info hun :)
