Can your milk come in before your baby is born? If so can you go ahead and pump?

Never heard of that, sorry.  You can always call your local health department, they should have a lactation consult on staff that would be able to answer that question.

The milk can come in before the baby is born or rather the collistrum (not sure of the spelling) does but you should not start pumping until the baby is born. When I was pregnant with my daughter mine came in when I was five months along and with my pregnancy now (4 1/2 months) I have already had some lactation. Also the let down of milk causes slight contractions of the uterus which helps your body return to it's pre-baby shape after the baby is born.
