Make sure you talk to your doctor about this. I was hoping do do similar being I usually leak before baby comes and this us my third pregnancy. I have nursed my other 2 but hate pumping!  The biggest issue is that with the nipples being stimulated esp on a regular basis that it can cause early labor because it makes your uterus contract. As long as your Dr says its fine then the reason it increased drasticly is that your actual milk may have come in full bore because of the pumping.
