Has anyone started expressing milk before baby is born?

Question

I’m 35 weeks and have been leaking clear liquid for a while now. This week I have been leaking bright yellow liquid. Should I start expressing a little bit?
Thanks!! 👶🏼👶🏼

Answer

I would just collect it, not actively pump or express 🙂

Answer

I have been pumping and no contractions everyone is different

Answer

I was hand expressing until 37 weeks. That’s what my doctor said was safe. I’ve been pumping every few days since then to relieve pain,

Answer

100%! I was told to wait until 36 weeks and then express as much as you want! It was an absolute life saver with my first baby when I was waiting for my milk to come in.

Answer

Be careful it can cause preterm labor
