Yep, Denise! That's what they were doing! What a knee-jerk reaction. I did point out to them the error of their thinking...one can do that with resident physicians. I'll bet they'll think twice next time!

Oh Holly honestly - let me guess, they were worried expressing might put
her into labour .... hang on, weren't they inducing her?? Obviously
someone who has no concept of the pain of engorgement!
Sorry Lisa I don't have the reference either, but have you seen this one?

urinary markers of the initiation of lactation in pregnant women.

> I don't have the link, but I work in a hospital that has a high risk antenatal wing and I have seen this occasionally. Often the patients present with clinical engorgement. We had a pt. Last week who was preeclamptic and they were inducing her. She was engorged and wanted to pump for relief, and our residents told her that it wasn't a good idea!
