Expressing/pumping at 38w & not even a drop😞

I’d save yourself the stress, in all likelihood you won’t need it anyway!

I did the same thing and few drops came out after weeks of trying and I ended up being an under producer, then my friend had so much colostrum she even froze bags of it and she’s an over producer. So I’d suggest working on your supply and focusing as much as you can to make sure idk if it’s related but it’s what happened

Don’t use a pump. If it does manage to get anything out it will be such a small amount you will loose it in the pump and it wouldn’t have been worth it anyway. For this reason they don’t recommend using a pump, plus it’s not great at getting colostrum out anyway. Many women don’t produce anything to harvest before birth and have no supply issues. I was only ever able to get 6mls in total which is still in my freezer now. Try different techniques, different ones help different people. If you can’t get anything then don’t worry, baby will always be better than anyone/thing else.

I wouldn’t worry about it . Once baby comes it will start to flow and may take a few days to come in

I didn’t manage to express any and I still breastfeed my baby who is 1 is two weeks time.

Don’t stress yourself out xx

I had this conversation with my midwife today I’m getting a couple of drops. She said don’t worry it’s something fairly new that people are doing and only a small handful of women struggle with milk production. She said that most women produce enough for twins before their body realises they don’t need that much!! Honestly don’t stress yourself! :) you’ll likely either forget it in the freezer or forget to use it in the hospital. :)

I didn't leak but it came once she was born. Then the milk came a couple days later. So don't stress about it 😊
