Why don’t my breast feel full or hard/heavier at 37weeks?

Question

I’m 37w2d pregnant and I don’t feel like my breast are full should I be concerned? I’m going to/want to breast  feed my baby this is my 3rd baby, I just feel like my breast aren’t full or anything. Anyone else feel the same ?

Answer

You don't need them to feel full before baby. Your milk comes in 2-9 days after birth.

Answer

Mine are only full a few days after birth. Its totally normal and nothing to be worried about! :)

Answer

My breasts didn’t get hard and full until my milk came in a week after birth. The first stuff you get is colostrum and your baby lives off of that until your milk comes in, and their tummies are tiny so it doesn’t take much.

Answer

Mine don't feel full at all until my milk comes in within a week pp. I've never leaked before baby gets here. I nursed my first 2 kids for 18 months each.
