Usually at 37 weeks I believe but check with your provider first especially if you’re high risk

I’m about to be 36 weeks and I’m about to start as soon as I hit the mark but definitely consult your doctor

When your 37 weeks as that is classed as full term and it can bring on pre term labour

I’m going to start using my breast pump around 37/38 weeks. I will definitely consult with my doctor first but I don’t have a high risk pregnancy and honestly because I never confirmed if I had GD or not, they would want me to have baby out sooner than later anyways.

You and I are the exact same and I started over the weekend only because I’ve been leaking a lot lately. This is my second so I felt comfortable doing so.

It's advised by NHS from 36 weeks but make sure you get the go ahead from your midwife. Should not bring early labour as they only recommended expressing by hand.

37 weeks

I started at 34 weeks

Lucky you guys. I'm 38 weeks 1 day and I still ain't got any colostrum
