Anecdotally I have know of this once before. The mom's water broke at 28
weeks, she was on terbutiline and was leaking but not engorged. She put off
labor until 34 weeks I believe, lactated normally but gave up quickly due to
a sleepy baby. (A different one.) She is a teen mom with poor local
support for breastfeeding via one of the high schools. I'm thinking of
getting involved with this program for that reason....
