    Thanks for this thread!!! I am booked for a c-section in about 10 days (GD, previous C, mild pre-eclampsia and massive breech baby - 98th percentile!) and asked my OB about expressing inadvance to supplement bub for his first feed if I am unable too. The OB and midwives just fumbled for answers as if I was the first person ever to ask it. Obviously BF is not a priority in this hospital! Glad to know I can start now because I think I might actually go into spontaneous labout any day now (lost my mucous plug today) and I need to be prepared.

    Hope everything goes smoothly for you BD!

    My ob hadn't really had much to do with it either. The hospitals LC was who told me to do it.

    Is it all fine for you to go into spontaneous? How exciting!! Hopefully the expressing helps
