Has anyone used a breast pump to stimulate their nipples to try and bring on labour?
With DS1 I tried:
curry
shagging
pineapple (at least one whole pineapple a day)
long walks
reflexology
acupuncture
homeopathy
nipple stimulation (using fingers)
In the end it took a shot of prostaglandin up my mimsy to get him into the world.
Now I'm thinking... IF I go overdue again, I might whip out the ol' breast pump and give my boobs something to really think about - also might mean milk comes in quicker post-natally.
Anyone tried it? Anyone got any good reasons NOT to do it??
