Blood in colustrum harvesting

Hi ladies
I started colustrum harvesting at 37 weeks and towards the end of the week one side became bloody. No soreness or pain. I can see the multiple ducts on nipple expressing clear colustrum but one of the ducts is expressing blood instead. I stopped immediately and tried again next day and same thing. I dont want to collect bloody colustrum 🤮
Anyone in same boat as me and it cleared up on its own or should I not express for a few days?

Mine was like this in the first few days after having the baby. It cleared up on its own.
Given your baby hasn't arrived yet i think I'd leave it a few days before trying again x
