I’m 23+4 and for the past week or so I’ve noticed I am producing loads of colostrum, it’s literally dripping down me. I’m worried that I’m inadvertently putting pressure on my boobs and it’s causing them to leak, could that be the case? Or am I just producing loads of colostrum already??

Could just be producing already however if wearing normal bras you may find nursing/maternity bras are more comfortable and not putting as much pressure on x

Pop some breast pads on but make sure not to express any as it can kick start labour x

I produced alot of colostrum at your gestation! No one believed me but they literally leaked allll the time, even without a bra!
Definitely look into maternity bras for comfort but this is just one of those things. You can’t start expressing until 37 weeks but if you’re getting a lot and it’s something you want to do, you can hold a cup underneath and collect into a cup :)
I ended up with 500ml of colostrum in my freezer !

I would definitely collect it and put it in the freezer. You can get colostrum collectors from your midwife x
