> Hi.  I don’t have the studies or the info on hand as I write this, but the oxytocin receptors in the uterus are very resistant to oxytocin surges during pregnancy, so things like nursing  a baby while pregnant, or expression of colostrum don’t bring on labor.  The 300 or so receptors in the uterus have to be “primed” to be responsive and only become so very gradually at the very end of pregnancy.  That’s why induction often fails…an unready fetus in an unready uterus, and no one can predict when a baby and the uterus are really ready.  You can get contrax going like gangbusters but they won’t be effective in dilating the cervix and so on,  and c-section is the only answer once you begin down that road , so expression of colostrums is surely OK.
