Breast milk pic - is it meant to be yellow/cream?

Hi, I had a c section last Thursday and have been using a hand pump a couple of times a day since just to give my baby a little breast milk. We're mix feeding. I seem to get a loads out when doing this which I'm quite happy about. But I've read online the milk should be white and colostrum is yellow? Surely this isn't colostrum still? My milk is 100000% in as my boobs are huge and get engorged and ache.
Is this colour normal?

Thanks

I had a c section on Thursday too and that is what mine looks like.

Looks fine to me. If you leave it, it will probably separate out.

This is what early milk looks like, while it’s coming in. It will turn white within a week or so.

Congratulations!
It looks totally normal to me. When I had a cold my milk was blue which was a bit of a suprise!

Ahh good, I don't know what's normal as haven't done it before!
Yeah I read about the blue thing before so bizarre that is!
