35 weeks 5 days pregnant 1cm dialated, does doing breast stimulation make contractions start? having some breast pain is it normal?

Dr. Adam Newman answered

Yes and yes: Nipple stimulation makes your body release Pitocin (oxytocin) which can make you contract, so be careful. Some breast soreness is also normal, but if it is getting worse, have your obgyn check you. Good luck and congrats in advance!
