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?

With my first pregnancy my boobs leaked from similar, and it was earlier with my second and barely at all with my 3rd! I was told it's nothing to worry about. I didn't collect it either. Mention it to your midwife and she can talk with you.

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 😊 Don't try to collect it by stimulation yet as I was told it can bring on labour. ❤️

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

4/5 engaged

This probably sounds so stupid but I looked on badger notes this afternoon after having an appointment this morning and it says baby is 4/5 engaged, can that mean labour is near? This is my second baby

Struggling after c section mentally…

Anyone else struggling to feel connected with baby?

We had a long separation, 6 weeks. I struggled with the c section at the start and still do. I didn’t actually give birth and bonding isn’t really occurring for me.

Tried to seek professional help on how I’m feeling, getting nowhere. :/

Walking in late pregnancy

Hey I know that there’s general guidance that says walking will help naturally induce labour but does anyone else find it really difficult now to go for a walk? If it’s not pelvis pain it’s back ache…

Induction experience

Hello!

I hope you are all well,

I was diagnosed with GD at 36 weeks and my baby girl is measuring small. They told me I need to be induced in the next weeks

I’m feeling quite overwhelmed as this is our first baby and they gave me so much information.

Anyone has a similar experience or a good/ positive experience about induction please?😊

Thank you :)
