colostrum disappeared? ?

Since 14 weeks of my pregnancy I always had colostrum leaking especially more after 30 weeks and this past week (33 weeks) it went away. During week 30 - mid 33 I had so much colostrum it was always on my clothes and sheets. I've been under an enormous amount of stress and it stopped and now even if I try to squeeze nothing comes out? Will I not produce enough milk or will it disappear because of stress?

Thank you I am just constantly getting told by my mother that stress caused her to lose her milk at 2 months postpartum and my husband always stresses me out so I was scared I wasn't going to be able to produce enough for my baby

It is normal for colostrum to come and go during pregnancy. Some mothers dont see any until after birth (2-5 days when the milk matures). If you think its stress related try doing some mediation, breathing exercises, or even talk to your dr/caregiver about the stress issues. However, I wouldn't worry now unless your lacking milk when baby is born and your stressed.
