Breast reduction -- colostrum + orifices

Hi!

I'm 30 weeks pregnant. Had a breast reduction age 18. I'm 34 now.

Was delighted and shocked to notice that after a bath yesterday my nipples seem to be producing colostrum!

Can I ask...

  1. How many nipple "orifices" did you get milk/colostrum out of? I have counted 5 minimum each side so far but hoping there will be more.
  1. If you have had breast reduction, was colostrum production any signifier of whether breastfeeding would work successfully?
  1. I need to stop messing with them as the midwife spooked me and said I could induce labour (is that actually true??), but im just so curious to know whether my nipples will work! How much colostrum came out if you squeezed at 30 weeks?

I find it all so fascinating!!
