Dumb question but when does breast milk come in?

Question

I’m 22 weeks and It’s my first  pregnancy so I’m bound to think weird stuff ha!!
I’ve had no leaks or anything yet and deffo doesn’t look like milk will arrive anytime soon.
I know it’s early but I know women who had leaks and stuff at 18 weeks!
Does the milk usually come in towards the end?

Answer

True milk doesn’t come in until a few days after birth and is triggered by the placenta detaching. Leaking or not is not an indication of supply 😌

Answer

For some women, breasts can begin leaking colostrum as early as 15 weeks. For others, they don't have anything until after the baby is born.
Even after the baby is born, it will still be colostrum. Your milk will finally come in about 3-4 days after the baby is born. But don't worry! They call colostrum liquid gold because it's full of immune system goodies and lots of great things to get your baby started. It's recommended that even if you aren't breastfeeding that you at least feed a few times from breast for the colostrum because it's SO AMAZING. 
In other words, you have nothing to worry about. It'll happen when it's right for you ❤️

Answer

You cna begin leaking "practice milk" any time in pregnancy. Actual milk doesnt come in until after birth.

Answer

After birth.

Answer

It depends. For some women it comes in way before delivery. For others only after delivery. My milk came in after delivery. I did not leak a single drop before delivery. My supply is great though!

Answer

after birth

Answer

Don’t worry. Some people leak a bit during pregnancy, some don’t leak the entire pregnancy. Both are normal.

Answer

Not until after the baby is born, and the more they suckle the faster that milk comes in.
