I just rub usually. My nips are pretty tender so my contractions start like 2 Mins in. But they are really strong. I read online you should do about 3-4 mins on one side then wait 3-4 mins then do 3-4 mins on the other side that way You don't hurt your nips. And just go back and forth for about 15-30min up to you. I do 15, a couple times a day.
Ya. They used to pump to jump start of my mom's labors. She was past due.
Make sure your body is ready because it will cause your uterus to contract by releasing oxytocin and if done when your body isnt ready could put the baby in danger.
You just twist and pull with your fingers in 15 minute intervals, but once you stop the uterus will stop. The contractions do come pretty strong as well.
So you just let the pump do all the work ?
The best way is using a pump.
