Collecting colostrum

I did, although my milk came in so quickly that we didn’t use much, saving it for if she gets ill! X

I did with a hand pump but my surgeon recommended only doing it the week prior because my son was breech. She also discouraged me from using an electric pump for the same reason. I had success but also some subsequent contractions. I’d talk to your team first!

I did not. I don’t think I would ever choose to collect colostrum before birth, but with my c section is was imperative to not go into labor, so collection would have been strongly discouraged

I had to as I had gestational diabetes but needed a c section (plus baby was in NICU.) I took about 50ml in
