Engorgement before birth! 38 weeks

De

Has this happened to anyone else this is my fourth pregnancy and I am 38 weeks and this is my first time being engorged before delivery.

I breast-feed all of my babies so this is something that I was not anticipating on happening earlier.

I’m wondering if it has something to do with the irregular contractions I was having two days ago but my boobs are both completely engorged and full and starting to hurt a little and I have read online that I should not pump this is crazy I feel like my baby is definitely going to come early. Which would also be a first.
