Here is the kellymom.com FAQ on nursing while pregnant:
<http://www.nursingtwo.com/resources/pregnancynursing-faq.pdf>
and a specific link to information about contractions while nursing:
<http://www.kellymom.com/tandem/excerpts/03bfcontractions.html>

These are excerpts from the book "adventures in tandem nursing" by Hilary
Flowers - an excellent resource for this mom, but probably not reassuring
enough to present to her OB if her OB is concerned about the contractions.
I look forward to more scientific evidence that others will have.

As for boosting supply, Motherlove herbals has a tincture designed for
pregnant moms (since fenugreek is contra-indicated in pregnancy)
called "More Milk Two" that seems to be effective.  Her supply will
probably drop, but as we all know, nursing on demand is the way to keep it
adequate for the big brother.
