Is this much milk normal?

Question

I’m only 27 weeks and I’m squirting streams of milk easily and dripping all the time. I feel that I could easily get a couple oz out of each breast if I were to pump rather than hand express because I can express for so long I get tired of it. Does this mean anything? Could the baby be coming earlier or something? Or do I just produce a lot?

Answer

It's normal. It's colostrum that you produce before your body starts producing milk. I wouldn't be pumping or expressing cause like the other comment, it can induce labor. I've been leaking every other day since like 20 weeks or so. If my boobs start hurting from it though, running warm water over them helps also, just in case you need to do that to relieve pain.

Answer

Your just producing colostrum it's normal and everyone produces differently. I wouldnt try to pump since it can induce labor but doesn't mean your going to labor early.
