[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1571865, member: 14585"] Doubtful... BUT... oxytocin is the naturally occurring hormone which controls milk let down. When a baby nurses it stimulates the brain to release oxytocin into the bloodstream which in turn kicks in the maternal instinct to feed an infant and let milk down. It also causes mild uterine contractions and if a pregnant female already has a high level of estrogen in her bloodstream it could trigger labor. In a perfect storm, yes it is possible for her to go into labor early. Oxytocin is labeled WARNING females of child bearing age to handle with extreme caution. [/QUOTE]
