Im 7 months and noticing thoda yellowish stuff sometimes. Is this already the milk or comes later after delivery? first time mom so just curious, anyone else had this early?
Don't expect actual milk flow while you are still pregnant, that's a myth. It only kicks in after placenta is out and your hormones shift. If you leak a bit of yellow fluid now, just use breast pads, but if not, relax, it doesn't mean you won't be able to feed.
Look, true breast milk only comes in 2-3 days after you deliver your baby. During pregnancy, your body might leak a few drops of thick yellow colostrum in the late months, or it might not leak at all. Both scenarios are totally normal, so don't squeeze your breasts to check.
According to the tracking apps I used, the body starts preparing colostrum around the 16th week of pregnancy itself! Some moms see wet spots on their t-shirts by month 7 or 8, while others don't leak till birth. It’s all controlled by progesterone levels dropping right after delivery.
Suno, pregnancy ke time doodh nahi aata hai generally, sirf delivery ke baad hi acche se milk start hota hai. Kuch logo ko third trimester mein thoda yellow liquid leakage ho sakta hai jise colostrum bolte hai. Toh tension mat lo, bilkul normal hai agar abhi tak kuch nahi aaya.
Haha, I am so busy eating paneer tikkas and cravings that I haven't even checked! But seriously, my gynac said breast milk only starts flowing post-delivery. Right now, our bodies are just storing all the energy, so enjoy your meals and don't stress about leaks.
In my experience, my milk came in on the third day after my normal delivery. During pregnancy, I didn't leak even a single drop and I was so worried. But the moment baby latched, it all worked out naturally, so stay positive.
I'm in my 35th week and honestly, my breasts are huge and painful but no sign of milk yet! I feel like a walking, heavy water balloon waiting to burst. Hopefully the actual milk turns up on time once the baby is out, otherwise it's just sheer heavy lifting for nothing!
