Ok so Ive heard that pumping your breast can help induce labor... But I also Heard that it can bring on pretty intense contractions fast.... But Is this actually true cause Ive never Heard of this before..... And is it safe. Because when You pump wont milk come out
Answer
The reason breast pumping would start you is because a chemical called oxytocin is produced when your nipples are stimulated. Oxytocin brings on labor. I wouldn't use a breast pump, and yes I would imagine it would cause milk to come out.
Personally I think you should try having sex, the semen has a chemical in it that helps break down the mucus plug and soften the cervix (prostaglandin) and sex produces a chemical in your body helps start contractions...(oxytocin) -you can also produce more of this chemical by having your partner rub and play with your nipples as with the pump...
Also a female orgasm starts Braxton Hix contractions that can escalate to the real thing.
A synthetic prostaglandin and oxytocin are also used by hospitals to induce labor (though they can be produced naturally)
Good luck and I hope it helps!

breast pump?

i want to breastfeed could anyone tell me a good breast pump and where i can buy it at?
Answer
If you're going to breastfeed, you don't need a pump. You need a pump if you're going to breastfeed some of the time and bottle feed sometimes and want your milk in the bottles.
So, unless you have immediate plans to bottle feed, don't buy a pump at all; it's a waste of money.
If you *do* want to combine breastfeeding and pumping, then it depends on how often you will need to pump. If you are talking about an occasional bottle feeding, then you may still not need a pump at all. Hand expression may be better for you (see sources section below). If you want a pump, a manual pump is probably the best choice. It is inexpensive but effective enough for occasional (up to once a week) use. There are several different models and manufacturers. Avent and Medela are both good brands, but there are others. Do not buy a pump from Playtex, Evenflo, or Gerber, or anything that has a rubber bulb to operate it. These can cause nipple damage--sometimes severe enough to end breastfeeding.
If you'll be returning to work and need to pump one or more times daily, a battery pump is probably better for you. (Same brand recommendations as above.) If pumping at work is likely to be difficult, you may want to consider the Whisper Wear pump. It is different from every other pump on the market in that it is extremely quiet and is worn entirely inside your clothing so that you can pump while going about your normal daily routine, including meeting with other people. It does not have the research backing up its effectiveness that other pumps have, but many women use it and love it.
If you will need to pump exclusively (for instance for business trips of several days or more), you need a hospital-grade rental pump, preferably one that pumps both breasts at the same time. Some good brands are Hollister, Avent, Whittlestone, and Medela.
You can buy pumps in many stores that sell baby products (including department stores and pharmacies) or online (including sometimes directly from the manufacturer). If you need to rent a pump, ask at a local hospital, or call a La Leche League Leader. A hospital may rent them (La Leche League typically doesn't), but either one may be know of local resources. Or, again, you can try the manufacturer's Web site. All of the brands I mentioned above have Web sites at www.[name].com.
Under no circumstances should you buy a used pumps. Only rental pumps are made to be used by multiple users. A used pump may harbor bacteria from the original user (they cannot be effectively sterilized) that won't harm her but are foreign to you and your baby. In addition, a pump has an estimated lifespan of about 1 baby. A used pump is likely to need replacing before you are done with it. And a manufacturer won't honor a warranty for a second user, so you'll have to buy another one--even if the problem is their fault.
