Im 20 weeks and noticing some changes there, made me curious about when milk actually starts forming. First time mom so all this is new to me. When did u notice it happening?
Even when I was throwing up constantly in my first trimester, my body was silently working! Colostrum starts forming mid-pregnancy, though for me, I didn't see a single drop of leak until my baby was born. It's totally practical and normal for it to only flow after delivery.
It is so completely normal to worry about whether your body is preparing correctly for the baby, I felt the exact same way! Your breasts actually start making early milk, called colostrum, around the second trimester (around 16-20 weeks), even if you don't see any leaking. Don't stress, your body knows what to do.
Your body is so amazing, it starts preparing colostrum, that liquid gold, right in the second trimester around week 16. When you first hold your baby and feed them, you'll realize how perfectly nature had planned this all along.
Yes, breast changes and early milk production start in the second trimester. I didn't have any leaking during my pregnancy, but right after my normal delivery, the milk came in perfectly. Just trust the natural process!
