Colostrum at which week?

Just wondering when is the best time to collect colostrum? I’m 35weeks but some says that it will cause early labour if I started now. My midwife advised I started at 36weeks. I would be happy to collect sooner as my colostrum already available since 32w. Thanks lovelies.

I was told 36 weeks. I’d follow what your midwife has told you xx

My midwife said if droplets are forming, there’s no harm in collecting them early instead of letting it go to waste. But not to physically stimulate your boobs to produce colostrum until 36 weeks xx

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
