Why is my milk this colour??

Question

Edit- I’m 39+5 pregnant and my dr told me to pump 20 mins each breast to see if it would start a contraction. This is my first time pumping ever.

Answer

It’s blood but totally normal no need to worry mamma

Answer

I would stop honestly. My first came at 37 weeks, second at 39 weeks and my third child at 42 weeks and each time my water broke with no warning and contractions started up to an hour after water breaking. I never did anything to start up labor. Babies come when they are ready and when your body is ready. That looks like blood but then it don’t it looks worry some. By 35weeks I was leaking from my breast in it was yellow colostrum. I’ve also breast fed for over a year my second and third child and never had that color milk come out.

Answer

Look up strawberry milk! 
This is normal, it’s caused by blood somewhere in the breast- could be a cracked nipple, burst blood vessel inside, etc- and it’s perfectly safe to feed baby. If you hadn’t pumped it and fed baby directly you wouldn’t have even known.

Answer

Oh my, it looks like blood.
