Has anyone heard of...

Hello
Has anyone heard of using a breast pump to stimulate labour...my sister in law has suggested it so my OH and I have just bought a cheap travel one as I want to see if I can breast feed before i get expensive electric one...

I was just wondering if it may stimulate the milk to come in and then will end up with leaking breast and no baby to feed it too...

I am 39 weeks and at the end of my tether...was walking around a lovely little town yesterday to be abused some yobs shouting that I was an elephant... lets say it did not do much for my self confidence

What idiots- ignore them hon, they are clearly ignorant and not worth a second thought - let's hope karma bites them right on the bum!

As for the pump - no idea but let us know if you have any luck!

first off them lads/girls are idiots. i was once walking around town with my other half, a couple of weeks ago and one girl called me fat....i burst in to tears in the middle of the town centre......idiots lol....

I've heard that it can work but tbh dont really know much else about it....

when I was over due I give it a little go it was only clear so dont think your milk comes in till after baby is born, but to tell you the truth I tryed that much I dunno what helped and what didnt lol, I went 5 days over with both my other two and did everything from rasberry leaf tea, hot currys and birthing balls haha
