Can you safely express while BF and pg?

no, I'm not pg (that I know of) but have just bought an electric breast pump as find them easier than my manual one now. I don't plan to express often....probably a couple of times a week just to have a bit of a collection so DF and I can go out for the night or he can do the odd bottle etc.

My question is though, if I become pg, can I safely express, BF *and *  not risk m/c or anything?  Just I heard that nipple stimulation can cause uterine contractions etc and while I realise BF is also suction, I  just wondered if expressing would be more risky or something? I dunno sounds kind of dumb when I write it out but didn't think before I bought and cos we are TTC# 2 and I'd like to continue BF, I just suddenly wondered hmmmm.....

^she means no it's not risky, not no you can't safely express

Yes nipple stimulation can cause uterine contractions, but so do orgasms. Some (very very few) people with particular medical histories are advised to avoid sex during pregnancy for that reason, so if you're in that category then I suppose it'd be something to ask the doctor about (although I imagine uterine contractions from orgasm are more powerful than from expressing?), but if you still plan to have sex during pregnancy then I would say it's not an issue

As always there's a kellymom page on the topic
