Any advice for expressing from 36wks?

I'd also recommend getting in touch with a certified Lactation Consultant who can support you I'm your bf journey before and after birth.

Little_O - its not really the best for me to go into spontaneous labour as then I'll just end up in an emergency c again which is not fun for anyone. I just feel like its imminent .

Frangipani_Lou - My EDD calculation makes me 38 wks 3 days but the hospy has me at 37w5d as they don't take my 23 day cycle into account and they work on the assumption that everyone has a 28 day cycle (stupid I know).

I'll start expressing today, luckily milk supply is definitely not going to be a problem for me. I'm already leaking!

Yep - its deffo not going to be a problem. First time expressing and I just got 40ml . Should have been a wet nurse lol

...40ml! Well done!!

That's brilliant! In 2 1/2 weeks I only managed 25ml from expressing. That's liquid gold! Good on you!
