I’m almost 38 weeks and have tried for a week to get colostrum but sadly no luck.
I’ve tried warm compress/ showers/ massage etc and not in pain when I try but just nothing coming out.
Any tips?

I'm the exact same, I've been told by multiple people that not being able to collect colostrum does not have an impact on the milk you produce when baby comes. So I've sort of tried to relax about it abit more xxx

No tips but just to say you are not alone lol in 38 weeks as well and have been trying for almost a week - nothing 🫣😂 - the midwife said it doesn't affect you being able to breastfeed once baby is here so not to worry.

I had my last baby prematurely and hadn’t harvested any colostrum. I left the hospital with 2.5 litres of expressed colostrum. Your body will do what it needs to when it’s ready. Ps stress doesn’t help with milk production so don’t be hard on yourself if nothing happens until baby is born. I learnt that the hard way xx

I’m 39 weeks and have had no luck collecting colostrum. I’m trying to not let it get me down, but I do feel sad that i’m not able to collect any

I had the same and kept doing it, it did eventually start to come through x

I never had colostrum before babies got here. A week of expressing post partum and my milk supply is growing just as expected.

I’m 39 weeks and the same / I’ve decided to give up on it and just relax! Xxxx
