hi ladies, I am 35 weeks with twins - booked in for elcs on 21st, just before 37 weeks.
my question is, is it wise to begin trying to express my milk now?
I know it can trigger prem birth, but term for twins is 36 weeks so it's not a huge huge concern.
im worried my milk won't come in, my sil had twins in may at 37 elcs and her milk didn't come in for weeks and babies lost weight etc.
is it worth risking a prem birth (a week prem at most now) to help ensure my milk is there? I'm a ftm so not a clue about these things!
any help or advice greatly appreciated
