I did for a while have alot of pain. Our baby will be here soon edd is 8/21 but doc says that he will probably be here sooner. Maybe as early as 7/31 that is when birth mom will be 37 wks. I guess my question is do I take my last birthcontrol pill on thursday so I can start pumping?? or do I stay on the birthcontrol pill longer?

You will need some time to pump but the longer you are on the protocol usually the better. If you have a lact-aid you could stay on the BCP until the end of July and start pumping. If he/she is born on time that would be 3 weeks of pumping. If baby is born early then you stop the bcp's and nurse with the lact-aid pumping after feeds.

That is why I am asuming that he will come around the 31st that is when she will be 37 wks. I wish that she would just be patient but she wants it over! Today at her doctor app. he (doctor) told birth mom just give him one more week! I guess I should buy sns what one to buy?? sns or lact-aid?

There are plenty of problems with babies born between 37 and 40 weeks. Pregnancy is meant to take 40 weeks for a reason. This bun is not done baking quite yet.
