When to stop breast massgae during Pregnancy

[Joeles]

Hi,

I would like to know when i should stop breast massage during my pregnancy.
I am currently in my 32nd week of pregnancy and i thought i heard somewhere that MTB should stop breast massage at 37 weeks, otherwise it might cause contractions which may lead to early birth.

Thanks to advise.

I've never heard of breast massage before.... but I don't see how they can cause contractions! If it's because of stimulation (like breastfeeding) that releases oxytocin, then the risk is really quite low as compared to the amount of oxytocin released during sexual intercourse.

I read in my breastfeeding resource book that massaging the breasts is ok but avoid nipple stimulation.
