No colostrum at 35 + 3

[Ilovethekitties]

Absolutely zero leakage - should I be concerned?

No? I only leaked 4 days after birth for a week (I didn't breastfeed)

Nope, no need for concern. Some women leak, some women don't, it means nothing just different bodies, no indication of milk supply.

I never leaked with my first two pregnancy's longest I went thou was 37 weeks! This pregnancy leaking very small amounts now and again 35 weeks x

Nope! I've never leaked and currently feeding 7 month old DS. No issues with supply.

I had none and couldn’t breastfeed. And it was still ok x

No, no need to be concerned. I didn’t notice any colostrum during pg and I fed my 3 dc until their second birthdays.

I had no leakage during pregnancy at all and had no trouble breastfeeding.

No, I didn't have any until post birth and sucessfully fed all five of my babies for between three and eleven months each, no problems with supply.

I didn’t have a drop before. Colostrum came in after birth (EMCS) then changed to milk on day 5 and still feeding at nearly 8 months. We’re all different

Thank you wonderful ladies, you have put my overly anxious mind at ease. x

I didn't leak once but was lucky enough to find bf easy and bf until dd was about 15 months.

Leakage means nothing in relation to bf and supply etc ime.

OP, in the last few weeks of pregnancy the things I spent sleepless nights worrying about would equally appall and amuse you

Try to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and best of luck with everything. Anything that you’re worrying about others will have worried about too so do ask on here if it’ll put your mind at rear. If you’re concerned about getting feeding up and running and it doesn’t happen straight away you can ask for the lactation consultant to come and see you in the hospital.

Your baby will have a tiny stomach for a while and they don’t need much at a time. Definitely have contacts of support groups local to you to hand and ask for help from the midwives and lactation support staff if you want feeding support.
