When will I produce milk?

I'm 32 weeks and I haven't started to produce milk yet, people keep asking me saying that they had started to produce it by now so I'm a little worried. Could it be because this is my first or did everyone else's come later on?🤔

Your milk comes in a few days aged delivery OP. You may get some colostrum before then, but I don’t think everyone does.

Milk comes after birth, colostrum (clear/yellow liquid) can come before.

It'll come in after birth. Mine took around 5/6 days IIRC. I never had any leaking colostrum before birth.

How do you know that you don't have any yet? Is it because you are not leaking any or have you tried to express some out?
I am 35 weeks pregnant and have leaked no colostrum at all, they only reason I know there is some there is because if I hand express a tiny amount appears.
You could have some but just not know about it but either way I wouldn't worry too much, it will come.

For me it was four days after birth.

Never had any with either of my two and had no idea it was a thing. Everything worked just as it should after the births and I fed both for many months. So don't worry.
