I am 36 weeks what would happen if i started pumping my breast now & am i able to freeze the breast milk or colostrum that comes out ?

Not a good idea: Stimulating your breasts with a pump may cause preterm contractions. This is a bad idea. You will have plenty of time to pump after the baby is born.

Bad idea : This can trigger contractions. Not a good idea. Avoid until the baby is out.
