It is definitely not a good idea. Any form of nipple stimulation, squeezing, sucking or pumping, can release Oxytocin which can cause contractions. At 25 weeks, this is definitely not something you want to happen.
I'd don't think it's unsafe, but it's not recommended. There is no reason that you should need to do this. Your milk will come in on it's own after the baby is born. If it is getting squeezed out on accident. then it is probably OK. Just be a bit more careful, it's not at all necessary to do.
I am also 25 weeks pregnant. My doctor told me not to squeeze colostrum from my nipples or even stimulate them very much, doing so can release oxitotion (I don't know the correct spelling) which can cause contractions, and lead to premature labor. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
I am 30 weeks pregnant and I was wondering the same thing cuz mine only leak if I squeeze them but my husband says that when he sucks on them he doesn't notice anything coming out so I was wondering if that's normal or not. Also if it's not ok to squeeze, suck, or pump then how come people can breast feed while pregnant and have no early contractions??

Does a girl's breast contain milk even if she is not a pregnant and at what age she may find milk in her breasts?
Age has nothing to do with when a female produces breast milk, and the only time a female has milk in her breasts is after giving birth. The first breast secretion after delivering is not milk, but a substance called "Colostrum", which is thought to have more of the vital nutrients and immune boosters than the breast milk itself has. The breasts will produce the colostrum for about a day, then they will begin producing milk. They will continue to produce milk for as long as the mother nurses, but when she stops nursing, the breasts stop producing milk.

Are you pregnant if you have abdominal pain and your breasts are leaking colostrum and you urinate frequently?
Most likely yes. See your doctor for a blood test. ---answer--- What do you mean by " colostrum" . Any time you press your nipples when NOT PREGNANT liquid will come out your breast. Many women claim that it is indeed true. Even on faqfarm website I have read so many replies about "colostrum". You get colostrum when your baby is born and it is the first 4-5 days milk that is called colostrum, before "real" breast milk comes in. I am not saying that you are not pregnant but it would be too early to have breast leak. It starts only later in pregnancy.... Frequent urination starts after 6-8 weeks ,however everyone is different. The best thing to do is to do a Home pregnancy test when you have been late on your period,at least a day,you may do it earlier but it can be a waste of money as you need to give time to HCG level to rise.
