Expressing colostrum before birth

Hi all!

Because I had a reduction I decided to get some advice from a b/f consultant before I give birth and she suggested I get used to hand expressing colostrum now (30 weeks) and around 37 weeks start expressing into little cups and freezing it.

Has anyone else done this who can offer any tips? I've also read in lots of places that pre-expressing is a bad idea as well - can anyone expand on this?

Thanks!
