I don't think that would be a wise decision in the situation you describe.
Potential problem with early expression are contractions because of nipple
stimulation - and you know moms of twins are especially at risk for a preterm
delivery. So every intervention that can increase the risk of even earlier birth
should be weighed very carefully.

Subject: early antenatal expressing
Hello everyone
I have been asked by a mother who is expecting twins next year, and will
probably be delivered early by c section, Could she start expressing before
34 weeks, I have the article by Sue Cox and she suggests starting from 34
weeks , why not earlier.
