Leaking colostrum

I am a ftm 23 weeks 2 days and I am leaking a lot of colostrum some nights (picture below for reference) should I be concerned or is this normal?

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Yes, it's normal. I called my home nurse freak out, and she sayed it completely normal. You're doing amazing in 22k and 2 days

It’s definitely normal! I’m almost 24w and I’ve been leaking like this for a few weeks and started leaking small amounts around 15-16w!

Totally normal and a good sign tbh. I leaked with my first pregnancy a few times. If you can collect any with a syringe (not pumping) you can freeze for baby!

They make breast milk collection cups that you can wear in your bra to collect anything that leaks out and then you can use a colostrum collection kit to freeze it!

TMI… 38 weeks and 3 days today, diarrhoea constantly today 4 times in 4 hours, last night had a lot of pressure in pelvis and rectum again for about half an hour, did anyone else get bad diarrhoea and did labour follow it if so how long after?

Big baby advice please!!

I attended my midwife appointment today (27+4) and baby is literally off the scales! Midwife has said she’s referring me for an emergency scan and look really concerned for me. Has anyone else’s growth chart shown a baby this big? If so what was the weight at birth? TIA

Moving House with Newborn

When you have just had a baby and you get a completion date to move house this Friday (baby will be 2 weeks 2 days). The only words are shattered and overwhelmed. Any one else done this before?😰

28 week bloods

Riding my last appointment my midwife told me I needed to go for the 28 week blood tests at the hospital. Do I book this or will I get something through?
