I was warned against doing it too much as it can cause contractions, though I havent heard about anyone going into labour.

twoboots - this is a crazy myth Expressing is the same, physiologically, to the mother's body as feeding 'direct' - it doesn't harm the pregnancy in any way at all.

Having an orgasm also causes contractions.

There is no need to stop either sex or expressing in pg
