26 Weeks With Breastmilk Already? Posted: 01-06-04 12:13pm
Hello. I am twenty six week and I already
have breast milk... Is this normal to
have it already? I might add at beginning
of pregnancy doctors thought I was due
mar.17/04 then they changed it to april
17/04... And I strongly feel that im due
in march not april..... Anyone else in
this situation?

Hello Canadian_mommy Posted: 01-06-04 13:10pm
I am having trouble because I am now 36
weeks pregnant and don't have any milk
yet. I really wanna breast feed the baby,
but I am worried that I do not have any
right now, I am very happy for you sence
you know that breast milk is very healthy.
I do not think that you will get the baby
in march, I trust my doctor. Don't you?
Did you know that only 7% of the babys
come on the "due date" ? So your baby
might come a week too urly. My grandma
sayd that girls come a little urlyer than
boys... But I don't know, we just have to
wait and see.....

Well, what your leaking is not actually
breast milk, it is colostrum. It is the
nutrients and antibodies that your baby
eats for the first three days. Then your
breast milk will come in after delivery.
It is ok to begin leaking at any time
during your pregnancy. Do not be alarmed
by it.
Also, for tx- you should not pump your
breast while pregnant. Your body has a
natural way for this to happen. If you do
that when the baby's born, that's fine.
But don't do it while pregnant. You are
not supposed to have "milk" right now so
don't worry. If you do or do not have
colostrum leaking right now, either way is
normal.
