Possibly TMI?? TMI perhaps.....

Definitely normal! The leaking has happened to me around that time with each of my pregnancies though it was only itchy/ uncomfortable with the first one! Just your body getting ready for baby!!

It's normal. I can sometimes smell the scent of breast milk on my boobs. Our bodies are pretty amazing!

So......

Is this "liquid" the same thing as if I were pumping or breastfeeding? I guess what I trying to say is, is this milk pumpable? Or is this not fully developed yet? I'm super confused about it all!!!

You might not have enough to pump without some discomfort but it's your body and it doesn't hurt anything to try. If your leaking enough you can try to pump. As far as collecting it for baby use, idk because I don't have experience in that area. :) congrats on baby :)

So I'm not really sure how accurate this is but in my last birth group I remember some moms would pump if they were 40weeks because it helps you go into labour apparently? I have never done or tried this and have no clue if it's an actual thing but maybe something to consider. Talk to your doctor or midwife before pumping just to be sure

I wouldn't pump it it's the early breast milk but your body will will make way more when baby comes. I was told not to play with my boobs because it might make me lactate fully prematurely. My husband can taste breast milk when he sucks on my nipples it drives me crazy lol its like the only way I can get turned on anymore idk tmi sorry lol

It would just be the colostrum that you produce for the first few days before your milk comes in for the baby. I wouldn't try pumping it and collecting it since the baby only needs it for first few days. Plus nipple stimulation can help start labor so you wouldn't want to do that yet.

It's colostrum(pre milk), your body won't start making milk until after you give birth. It usually takes a couple of day, for moms like me, about a week after baby is born. But like others said don't try to pump it.

Its safe to hand express colostrum and freeze it, but it only will last a certain amount of time in the freezer (cant remember how long exactly) :)

I wouldn't bother trying to use a breast pump yet

Breast milk is good in a regular freezer for 6 months and a deep freezer for 12 months :)

My nurse just said its not safe to pump while pregnant. It may cause pre mature labor.

@kaelaoneil funny! That's the only way I'm turned on right now as well and after breastfeeding 3 kids, my breasts have been the LAST thought for four play lol except for now
