Breast milk production

So I'm kinda nervous. I know everyone is different, but I'm really worried that I won't produce any milk or produce enough to feed my son. I want to breast feed because I know it's what's best for him. I'm 26w 2d. The thought of not being able to do what's best for him really upsets me. Is there any tips anyone has on what I can do while pregnant that may help with breast milk production? Or things that may cause someone not to produce? I'm 20 (almost 21) and a ftm

I didn't get any milk while being pregnant but about two days after my son was born my milk finally came and I was able to pump. I'm assuming it might happen again with this pregnancy.

I've heard that red raspberry leaf tea can help tone your uterus and also help your milk supply. Then there's fennel and fenugreek, brewers yeast, etc.
