Colostrum
27 weeks and started leaking colostrum in the shower, started hand expressing for a min or two to check that’s what I was seeing forgetting that it’s not recommended to do so before 37 weeks. Chances of everything being ok I’m paranoid now?

I was leaking really bad from 20 weeks, I wish I’d collected it! If you are worried about hand expressing, a midwife told me later on you can get one of those milk collector things and wear them at night or during times where you leak a lot! She recommended the Hakka ladybug but I think anything that’s for the purpose of collecting a letdown/etc will do the trick
I was leaking bad from 30 weeks and started collecting it. Ended up with 400ml of colostrum 😅 barely used it but I’m glad I collected it

You’ll be absolutely fine. Don’t worry!! Speak to your midwife next time you see her. I started leaking really early and my midwife said as long as I passively collected it, I started around 30 weeks collecting because it just leaked out of my but I didn’t stimulate till later x
