36 weeks no lactation

Hi everyone, I'm 36 weeks today and I was just wondering if it's normal to still have yet to lactate. I thought I would have seen the clear liquid by now but instead nothing ?? Any ideas I'm a FTM  and I worry about everything!

With my first two, it never happened before delivery, but I still had no problem breastfeeding.  I did a full year with both of them.  Only a little leaking with this one.  Either way, I don't think what happens before delivery is any indication, so I wouldn't worry.

Don't worry too much about it usually it comes after delivery withy first one I had so much come out during my pregnancy with my second nothing until 2 days after delivery with this third one I started seeing colostrum at 16 weeks and only if I squeeze will it come out. So don't worry the more you stress the worst it is you'll be fine..  Good luck

With my first pregnancy I could squeeze my boob and squirt across the room. I'm 39 weeks now and when I squeeze only a drop or 2 comes out, but in general yes it is normal to not have anything going on. Your real milk won't come in until baby is born
