Dear June
Every birth is different. Maybe this baby WILL be a 38 weeker or even
more! - one never knows...
Please do not suggest to her to hand express - it CAN bring on contractions
- definitely NOT what we want..

Hi Everyone
Permission to post
Mum's 3rd pregnancy 34 weeks to-day. first baby delivered at 34 weeks
and in special care baby unit for 2 weeks, 2nd pregnancy (twins) delivered
35 weeks in special care baby unit for 3 weeks.
Mum is almost expecting not to go to term with this pregnancy (HOPEFULLY
SHE WILL) would your advice included antenatal expressing . Knowing that if
this baby comes before 36 weeks she will be reluctant to express.(When I
spoke to her she put her hands over her head and said she wouldn't be able
to do all that expressing because she has 3 children under 4) My rationale
for suggesting antenatal expressing is to establish volume, and hopefully
this will relief the pressure on this mum, should she wait until 36 weeks
or start now or forget it and hope that this baby delivers at 38 weeks
Thank you for your advice
Sincerely
June Nicholls
RM/IBCLC
