Wendy, In response to your question, tandem nursing in early and in late pregnancy does not show problems with premature birth, I wouldn't think pumping to be any different. True, nipple stimulation can encourage labor, but only when body and baby are ready. Genuinely, Alia Heise, CLC, CPD(DONA), Birth Doula Finger Lakes NY "At what stage of pregnancy would you advise pumping? I would be concerned that this could start contractions and an early birth.
