Is it normal not to have leaked any colostrum yet at almost 33 weeks? First baby! I haven’t tried expressing obviously, but a few friends told me they had leaks before they were 33 weeks while I have nothing!! :(

It's normal not to leak. I didn't with my first and had no problems with supply after my milk came in.

I didn’t leak at all with my first until after baby was born. This time I’ve had a couple of tiny leaks overnight so far. Every pregnancy is different!
Edited to add - I also harvested colostrum with my first and still didn’t leak
does it hurt to harvest it at 37 weeks?!

I didn’t think it hurt but I did get quite frustrated with it all, especially at the beginning because it was such a slow process! I was getting tiny amounts to begin with so just be prepared for that if you decide to do it!

I didn’t have leaks in any of my pregnancies. Both my children were exclusively breastfed until 2 years old. My second only just stopped breastfeeding in May and still no leaks for me at almost 32 weeks..

I didn't leak at all with my first and haven't this time either. I also really tried to harvest colostrum and couldn't get anything with my first but then had no supply issues at all once my son arrived!

I didn’t leak at all with my first. Harvested from 37 weeks but it look a little while to get it going

I done it manually. It’s not advised to use a breast pump as it can bring on early labour

I don’t leak, but get 6-7ml each time i collect x

First pregnancy I didn’t leak a single drop of colostrum until baby girl was born, and my boobs literally didn’t change in size at all during pregnancy!!! This time though I’ve had a few drops of colostrum over the last couple of weeks which I’m surprised about haha
