breast pump machine fact or false?

I just got my breast pump today at the clinic & she told me I can play around with it but to be careful not too much because pumping your boobs before your baby is here can cause premature contractions! Omg. Lol so if that's true & you mommas want ways to help start labor... maybe that's an option? Lol I've never heard that before!

Pumping and nipple stimulation can cause contractions but will not induce labor. It helps to progress a labor that has already started if you are in an inactive phase.
Otherwise, every single one of us who has a breast happy husband would never stay pregnant.
