Good morning momma's. I need some advice because I'm very worried. So when my breast started leaking colostrum it would leak all the time. Then 3 weeks ago I got a new manager who started cutting my hours. Around that same time I got a super bad stomach bug and ended up in and out the hospital for a week and a half. After I got better I realized I didn't leak as much but now week three after the drama I'm not making any at all. I know I was stressed about being sick and my hours but now I'm not and I'm still not producing anything. Is there something I'm missing that's messing with my milk supply? And how do I get it back to the way it used to be? Please any help is greatly appreciated because I really wanna breastfeed and this is worrying me.
Lol @avie I'll try not to concern myself to much then. Cuz that is kinda what's happened to me too.
And I won't pump now if I'm just gonna produce it after birth @shellbell0391 @housfullofgrls
I haven't leaked at all not even one drop. I read that it doesn't matter your body will produce it when the baby is here
I think you're fine. I'm the same week (31) as you and during the second trimester I soaked my shirts but I haven't leaked since I got to the third trimester. So I think and I hope it's normal lol
If I pumped for just 5 mins while pregnant would it still send me into labor? @housfullofgrls
Only thing that will build supply is nursing and pumping AFTER baby is born
Thank you @dreamermom @housfullofgrls @beebaby I will try not to worry too much about it. And I have a doctor appointment soon so I'll mention my concern to them. But you ladies advice really help put my mind at ease.
I never leaked at all with my first, I don't think it's anything to be worried about... your body changes with hormone shifts throughout your pregnancy... but if it causes you worry talk to your doc/midwife
You will produce fine as long as you nurse asap after birth
