PTP:  I was contacted by a pregnant woman who is nursing her 18 month old 2-3 times daily and is scheduled to have an amnio at 15 weeks.  She is currently 12 weeks pregnant.  The amnio is elective but highly recommended by her doctor because she is 38 years old and has Graves Disease which can impact fetal development.

The OB has recommended weaning the 18 month old because he fears nursing will cause contractions after the amnio and cause a leaking of amniotic fluid.  Mom wonders how valid this concern is.

Any thoughts?  Information?  Research?

Thank you!
