A LC I know suggests commencement of expressing at 36 weeks (knowing you only get a few mls of colostrum each time) for women who have PCOS due to the anecdotal difficulties they have in establishing supply. I have no evidence to back this up but she believes this has been of assistance for her clients that she sees prior to birth.

You will not get large amounts and there is no real need to express prior to birth. The *liquid gold* may be valuable if you are likely to experience any of the circumstances Barb outlined but otherwise enjoy the time leading up to the birth of your little girl without the extra work or pressure.
