Yea but they can be off by two pounds both ways. So baby could be anything from 7-11 to 11-11.

All you can do is the normal stuff that rarely helps. Walking, sex, nipple stimulation and so on. You can just do stimulation or breast pump it is up to you.

I wouldn't pump it could mess up your milk supply my friend did it and her milk never came in the doctor told her pumping could have caused it. Try just nipple stimulation.
