Dear Friends:
Dear Friends:
I have heard this concern for years and never seen any research study
supporting it.
.... under no circumstance would I recommend a pregnant women who is not
already nursing a toddler to pump her breasts. The risk of preterm
contractions, labor and preterm birth is just too high.
Women at risk for preterm birth are advised to avoid orgasm.........but
those are particular women. All other women can have all the sex they want to
have. I have read that oxytocin receptor sites in the uterus don't wake up
until about 36 weeks postpartum. I know that attempts to induce labor via nipple
stimulation have proven ineffective....there was a study about this back in
the late 80s/early 90s.
Sue Cox published a lovely article in Breastfeeding Review about women
collecting newborn milk by hand expression starting at 31-34 weeks of gestation to
bring with them to the hospital if there was a chance the baby would need
supplementation. Mothers didn't start labor with prenatal collection of
colustrum.
Does anyone have any evidence to support this prohibition?
warmly,
