Im around 18 weeks and noticed my breasts feel heavier and a little sore. Just curious from what point does the body actually start making milk, is it only after delivery or earlier? Pls share when it happened for u.
Body actually starts making colostrum around 16-20 weeks, both my pregnancies it was like 5th month. You wont always notice it tho, only if some leaks out. Real milk flow comes after delivery.
The first milk is that thick yellow colostrum and it can start forming mid pregnancy, sometimes you see it sometimes not. Proper milk only fills in after baby is born, usually 2-3 days post delivery. Dont stress if you see nothing now, thats also normal na.
I felt so worried in my 7th month when little yellowish stuff came on my bra, thought something is wrong. My gynac smiled and said its colostrum, totally normal. Wish someone told me earlier honestly.
My amma kept saying milk comes only after baby, but doctor explained the early milk starts around 5th-6th month inside itself. Every body is different, so dont compare. Just eat well and rest.
