I have colostrum (is that what its called?) at 27 weeks, stupid question I know but it won't run out or anything will it...?? I'm guessing not but it's so early!

Hello Dappymoo
I'm not an expert with technical terms etc either but that is perfectly normal so don't worry! I had the same but a bit later on and a friend of mine had it as early as you. Just get yourself a waterproof mat for under your sheets - you can get disposable ones from boots. Or a towel or something. It's just your body getting ready. It definitely won't run out.
Hope that helps.

Your body will just keep making colostrum until the hormone changes of birth trigger milk production. It's not a timer or anything.
