Beasts and milk production

[mrstiffanybowen]

I'm a FTM, so I'm not sure how this is all supposed to work yet. Lol. I keep reading/hearing about women whose beasts have already gotten bigger about and about due starting to produce breastfeeding milk by now. I'm 24w5d. Should I be concerned that I haven't noticed any changes?

Most women,  almost all, don't get milk till after birth. The breast changes while you are pregnant are usually caused by hormones,  not milk production. While I am noticing a small amount (literally a couple drops if I squeeze) of colostrum at 21 weeks, I didn't notice any colostrum until a couple days before birth the first pregnancy.

Im due in less than 2 weeks and my breast have always been big 40DD. Gotten a little bigger but no milk. Does not feel anuly different than before i got pregnant. Will let have to note in my birth story if milk came in.. Little worried

Ugh. My boobs went from 34 B to 34 DD within 3 months of being pregnant.  It was HORRIBLE. I am sure they are bigger now since I am over 38 weeks. I started producing colostrum around 28 weeks. And it is annoying lol.... don't stress out :) your milk usually comes in 3-5 days AFTER delivery. Big boobies are no fun! And growing that quick HURTS. So be happy - you will be fine ;)

No your fine :-) bit everyone's breasts get bigger unfortunately mine do. Also like above said you only have colostrum before you have the baby that is their first milk they drink that for a few days till milk comes in on average 2-5 days after giving birth :-)

No absolutely not with my first pregnancy I never started producing colustrum until I was 9 months pregnant you do not get actual breast milk until after the little one is born!!
