pumping during pregnancy

Would you pump during pregnancy (from 37 weeks) if there's a chance your baby might need formula (fv)?

    Hmm, no...
    I thought it would already come out, but your body isn't officially ready for it yet. That only happens after your baby is born and the membranes and placenta are delivered. Then, the let-down reflex also kicks in to help contract the uterus. You don’t have official production yet for that.

    Good luck with choosing!

    It seems like it's actually possible, even pumping before the baby is born. There are already several articles and studies on this. I'm not sure if it only works when you're already producing milk, since some women naturally do so before delivery.
