Should I be concerned?
I'm 24 weeks today. I've just showered and my boobs started to leak. Do I leave it collect it or what. I'm a bit worried about the fact it has come so early. I thought it should come after 36 weeks. Am I wrong in thinking this?

Mine have leaked since roughly the same time, just left them to it.. just gave them a wipe to get rid of any crusties. Currently 35 weeks. Not collected anything yet but have had discussions with midwife about when it is safe to do so x
My boobs leaked super early mainly overnight. Midwife said it was nothing to worry about so I didnt š Don't try to collect it by stimulation yet as I was told it can bring on labour. ā¤ļø
Mine have been leaking since 17 weeks, also ftm, just do not harvest it I.e squeeze it out or use a pump as that can cause preterm labour, but if you are leaking a fair amount you might find collection cups useful, I used these (elvie ones) and was able to get about 0.5ml a day which I started to save but they decided I would just sink and harvest closer to the time. I'm now 38 weeks and have been harvesting since 36 weeks as advised by my midwife. X
I started leaking at 20 weeks, baby is 3 months old now, nothing to be worried about! But donāt start pumping or anything to collect as can induce labour x

Happy birthday to me
It's my birthday. 33 today. Hubby went to bed half an hour b4 midnight knowing I stay up to see the day in every year. So I saw it in with my littlest Mr. Then had to wash the baby bottles, sort the dog, lock everything up and bring the little one up to bed. Yaaay. Just another day much.

C section recovery blues
Hey,
Iām 5 days pp after a c section and just finding the recovery tough. Iām so frustrated that I canāt fully participate in everything I need to be doing to care for my baby, and need help doing every little thing! Itās affecting my confidence as a mum already, that I need my partner there all the time. Itās really getting me down now, my heart breaks every time my partner has to take baby off me or complete a task Iāve started but canāt finish.
Anyone else feeling the same, or know how long this recovery phase has to be?
