Milk Ducts?

Question

I've had a lot of sore, achy breast pain lately, that is out of the ordinary. Could it be my ducts opening or something? It's quite painful. I'm 26 weeks. My mom said it's my milk/clostrum coming in. . . But I thought that didn't happen till birth?? Any thoughts?

Answer

Milk comes in roughly 3 days after you deliver, but colostrum comes in before that while you're pregnant. My boobs have been killing me! Especially where my milk ducts are (the one that's near my arm pit has been the worst so far). I didn't experience this with my first pregnancy so it caught me by surprise. My doctor said warm compresses, a heating pad and warm baths all help with the discomfort!

Answer

Milk comes in after birth. Colostrum comes before . Mine came in at 15w lol.  Your breasts are just preparing in general. It's normal for them to ache at all stages of pregnancy
