I feel discouraged. I'm 38 weeks and got nothing when I tried pumping. I did hand express two days ago though and got a little bit out

[@maisnygg5212]

I think it takes a couple of days until it actually comes out. Keep on milking!

[@0o0tsuitta0o0]

It ok, keep trying. U might actually get urs after giving birth

[@nsynclover95]

@@maisnygg5212anytime I hand express I just get drops which I guess is better than nothing.

Once frozen it can’t be refroze that’s why people use syringes to reduce the waste

[@celesterogersxo]

That makes sense! I take it out frozen and use a hot metal spoon and scoop what I need and put the rest of the frozen stuff back! 😅

[@addisonnickle3452]

@@celesterogersxo that’s a good idea!

It's not supposed to be yellow it's supposed to be white

[@Ch3lRae]

@@JaylynAtkinson-uz5np colostrum is different from breast milk and it is always yellow

[@celesterogersxo]

@@JaylynAtkinson-uz5np no colostrum was supposed to be gold. That’s why they call it liquid gold even breastmilk, the more yellow it is the more rich and nutrients it is.

[@CyrannoCampos-ve7fj]

I was told to not pump because the colostrum is sticky so it’s harder to remove . But she did it just fine maybe I will pump

[@FluffyPancake17]

I'm 33 weeks and I just started pumping today 🙃

[@laurenlehnerd1530]

​@FluffyPancake17 my nurse advised against pumping before 37 weeks because it can cause preterm labor.

[@Chocoholic679]

​@FluffyPancake17 33 weeks is quite early....did your OB say it was okay?

[@angiecats5298]

The reason why you shouldn’t do this is because it can trigger labour lol. It’s recommended to do this later on during pregnancy than early on.

[@angiecats5298]

@@FluffyPancake17 you probably should hold off until you’re a bit further along or you might end up having baby too early. X

[@raders4615]

I’ve tried twice today and not got anything, but this time they did seem like it was coming did u just keep going until it came through?

[@danielladipol4229]

I’m trying hand expression, day two of nothing too!

[@ولوفصفدر]

How strong was it?

[@celesterogersxo]

I think the section was a seven

[@jodieannethomson]

How long did you pump for?

[@celesterogersxo]

Seven minutes

[@jodieannethomson]

Aw brilliant thanks so much :)

[@Bonchjela]

Yeah, I see syringes...and was told not to pump. Hmm

[@FluffyPancake17]

It's induces labor but do as you wish I'm 33 weeks and I started to pump a little because i leak so much and I want that saved for my baby. Have a blessed day
