breast pumping

How does breast pumping make you go into early labor? Or labor period?

It causes the hormone oxytocin to be released in the body. Oxytocin is the natural form of pitocin; the drug that induces labor.

No problem but please keep in mind that if you're full term and trying to self induce this way, you should know that it can make contractions a neck of a lot more intense and painful. Plus it could slow down labor if you're body isn't ready.
