Hi Norma,

Also nursed throughout pregnancy - this baby arrived on her due date,
unlike her older, co-nursing sibling who was three weeks early. I think
that in some cases, it may help, if mom is very close, but then I did go
into labor the second time after my dh deliberately drove us home from the
movies over some very bumpy backroads. Cause and effect????

Look for research - may be some out there.
