Colostrum/leaking at 33/34 weeks?!

Pregnant with my first and I just don’t know if this is normal this early, my boobs have been leaking what I think is colostrum since last week, I’m 34 weeks now and some mornings I even wake up with little puddles where it’s leaked so much during the night it’s never that bad during the day though, is this normal? Should I be concerned? Anyone else?

mine have been going since 16 weeks it’s very normal so don’t worry, just don’t try and hand express any until 36 weeks (as stated by midwives) as it could possibly bring on early labour x

It’s very normal - I went to an NhS workshop yesterday and she said colostrum can leak before you start harvesting

Completely normal, I started leaking at 20 weeks!

I agree with the ladies above, try not to express but it is normal. There are some handy wearable cups you can use so you can still collect what’s leaking in the meantime x

This is normal x with my son i started at 30weeks and this pregnancy started at 16weeks x its just something that happens if its actually coming out in streams id suggest breast pads 😂

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
