Milk supply

Hi

Im currently 34 wks pregnant with my 3rd baby. However with the last 2 babies i have struggled with milk supply and had to wait 3 days after birth each time for supply to come and it dried up after a wk (probs cos i wasn't breastfeeding due to latching problems) anyways! Noticed the last few days I am actually starting to leak milk from my boobs.

When did everyone else start getting milk supply and also did anyone go early after having the milk come through. I am having braxton hicks every few days also. I am booked in for a c section on 5 wks time and im now thinking i wont make that 🙈

3 days after birth I got milk, colostrum there from day 1

It's normal for it to come in after 3-5 days so your experience of that time frame was normal. Mine came in on day 3, colostrum before that. I had a c section and ds was in scbu so 3 days wasn't very long from what I've heard of other c section/separation from baby exeriences.
