Pumping for colostrum, 38 weeks pregnant

This is my second pregnancy, I am 38 weeks pregnant and I’ve decided to give myself a chance to breastfeed and to pump. With my daughter (6 yrs old now) I feel like I didn’t give myself a chance and I also think maybe I wasn’t in the right head space. I definitely put a lot of pressure on myself as a new mom. This time around I did my research, purchased the correct nipple flange, did things at my speed with no pressure.

I’m so happy to share I was able to pump out colostrum.

🚨Keep in mind, your midwife or physician should give you the ok to start pumping while pregnant. Which most suggest to wait till you are 37 weeks because it can cause you to have contractions and induce labor. 🚨
