Ladies, is it normal to not leak colostrum before baby is born? I'm 36 weeks and I'm starting to worry considering I really want to breastfeed. Has any already moms experienced this and able to breastfeed once baby was born?

I didn't get anything until days after the birth!! I've also heard that when moms hear baby's cry, it somehow causes the breasts to become engorged.

Anyhoo, don't give up, it will come.

Dont be nervous!!!  Your instincts will kick in the minute your baby is born! And your body will preform the way it's suppose to when baby comes!
