    No Colostrum yet!!!

    I'm 34 wks preg with #2 and no sign of colostrum, doc says i might go early as well so im a lil worried. i had colostrum by 28wks with DD#1.
    It may sound like a stupid question but if i dont get it before i'll get it after yeah?
    Just a lil worried as i am really wanting to breastfeed and having no colostrum yet is making me a lil nervous.

    Yep, no need for concern. I can't express a single drop & Isla is still having some breastfeeds.
    I have never been able to get anything at all out prior the birth of each child but have always breastfed them all.

    Why does he think you will go early?

    I have breastfed 5 little munchkins, and only got early colostrum with my first!!!

    Dont worry, the birth will ensure your milk comes in... Good luck!!!

    Thats a load off my mind, i was worrying for nothing ...phew
    Doc says she thinks i may go early cause my hormones are elevated, which they normally do around labour time. She doesnt think it will be extremely early prob just a week or two as bubs is not engaged yet (which is normal), she told me to hold off taking the raspberry leaf tea until 36wks just to be sure.
