im not sure :/

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and my c section is scheduled for July 1st and I wanna breast feed my son but my boobs don't feel very big or leaking at all. But with my daughter my boobs were all ready leaking by this time. Am I doing something wrong? Will my baby be able to eat from me? I have no idea

My breast milk didn't come until baby was born,  then it wouldn't stop. This is my second pregnancy and I'm 34 weeks and no milk. I wouldn't worry every pregnancy is different

How big or how much leaking b4 u have baby means nothing. It can take 3-5 days for milk to come in and no pregnancy is the same as another. You should be fine my midwife said 2nd time round your body will remember and milk will come

That's cool we are due the same day and I'm also having a boy. We are naming him Harley jr. Yea my daughter didn't eat from me long at all so I'm sure it'll be the same again. Good luck to you too :)

I'm 37 weeks and have a csection scheduled for July 1st too! :) funny that you say that bc my hubby and I were just saying the exact same thing last night. I'm hoping once we get a little closer they start to plump up with milk. With my daughter I was only able to breastfeed for 1 month bc I couldn't produce, so I'm imagining it will be the same this time around as well. Good luck:) What are you having? I'm having a boy and naming him Liam. Last week he was weighing in at 6 lbs 13 oz already!!!

This is my 3rd pregnancy and my boobs never really get big or leak. I still have my milk come in 2-3 days after the baby is born. They don't necessarily need to get big or leak during pregnancy for you to breastfeed after birth. This pregnancy I felt like they got bigger but now they don't feel as firm but it's normal and I know that as long as see the veins around my boobs they'll do what they're supposed to.

Sometimes colostrum doesn't come in until baby is here. Just put baby to boob and most of the time that will get it flowing.
