I've been collecting for a week I've been doing it 2/3 times a day for 5 mins. I've collected over a ml now. Last night I got near enough a ml in one session but it varies time by time

2nd pregnancy and 2nd time collecting colostrum. I started yesterday and got 5ml. Definitely worth having a relaxing bath/shower before hand, stick your favourite show/film on, you want a calm and comfortable environment to encourage release of oxytocins. Use a c shape hand when collecting and make sure youre rotating around the areola from different angles to get colostrum from different ducts xx

I’m 37 weeks and just started trying. Haven’t had any luck so far even following lots of tutorials. Maybe too early for me as I haven’t been leaking at all. Going to leave it for a few days then try again!

Any mom willing to be placement for my 4 yr old daughter

❤️ Hey mamas, I’m reaching out from the heart. My daughter is currently in DCS custody due to circumstances involving her alleged father, and I have serious concerns about abuse in her placement. Having grown up in foster care myself, I don’t have much of a support system to turn to.

I’m fighting for my baby’s safety and future, and I’m asking if anyone would consider being a safe placement for her, if approved, or standing beside us through this process. Even guidance, resources, or support would mean so much.

No mother should have to fight alone, and no child should have to go without a safe, loving community. If you’re willing to help, please message me privately. ❤️🙏🏽

Ransom question/ thought

So i was reading something about the kardashians. And made me think. What if while married the couple does ivf and freeze the embryos and then they divorce. What happens to them? I mean technically they can't get destroyed right?with the laws etc right now? And besides that. What if the wife decides that they want to have a 3rd baby using the embryo they had left with the husband. Does the ex husband have a say in getting to use it? And if the baby is born does he now have to pay child support as well? How would you feel if it waa the ex trying to use it too
