Possibly an irrational fear but…
Im so nervous that my milk will never come in!! 😅 Not even the colostrum! Idk why it’s such a trigger point for me but as I get closer to delivery I think about it a lot.
My boobs have grown a ton this pregnancy, but I’m definitely not leaking at ALL like I see a lot of women at my gestation (I’m 38 weeks this weekend). I know boob size and leaking aren’t an indicator of supply but I feel stressed that baby is gonna latch after birth and there will just be nothing 🥲 And I keep reading posts from women who wanted to BF and couldn’t because “the milk never came in.” Is it really that common for that to happen, or is this fear totally in my head?
(Also I know fed is best and all that jazz but I really want to BF, just a disclaimer. I have a great support system and am prepared to put in the work for it and deal with any issues or challenges as they arise.)
I just am basically having nightmares that baby will latch for the first time and there will be nothing but air lol ☠️
