Colostrum🍒🍼| Appreciation post🩷

❗️My midwife gave me this kit and told me to start harvesting early as I am having an early birth due to complications so won’t even make it until 36/38 weeks❗️ Just wanted to come on here to you ladies and say if you haven’t already today really take a moment to appreciate yourself and appreciate your body as a woman, We’re growing whole baby’s! And that’s truly an incredible thing👣✨if you haven’t already today really appreciate yourself and your body and your little ones❤️

Is it safe to do this at your stage of pregnancy can this not bring on early labour ?just curious as I’m 34+3 and was thinking about doing this x

@Lauren I have been collecting NATURAL leakage into a syringe since 26 weeks - midwife said this is fine as not squeezing it out, and now i’m 31 weeks and have been told to get what I can as it’s even more important as I have health issues and a high risk pregnancy and have been told my body won’t cope and if it doesn’t go into natural labour by 35 weeks they will be getting this baby out of me - we have issues with baby’s heart rate and other complications and won’t make it past 36/38 weeks which is when you can get colostrum so i needed to get it early - all midwife approved but i know every midwife says different xxx

@Lauren it depends on different circumstances on your pregnancy. Last time I had GDM and midwife told me to start on 34 weeks as baby will be induced and I should have as many as I can get before baby is here. But in normal pregnancy they really don’t recommend to do it before 36 weeks.

How long can you keep in fridge for xx
