Hi!
Well I'm still pregnant so I'm probably ring for doing it. But I just got a Brest pump and I wonted to try it out so I did, and I was also wondering what it taste like. So I tasted it, and it was nasty salty taste to it. And that's funny to me. For the simple fact  I have not gained any lbs my hole in tier pregnancy. And i never have an appetite. and never won't to eat. Is it OK or bad? But my rill question is, is it OK for the Lil bit of milk that did come out, "and it was only a few squirts which I'm scarred about as well" to taste salty?
I don't thank I'll have enough milk for my baby. Because when I pumped it was only a few little drops out both Brest. Not even enough to cover the bottom of the Bottle. But I did it for 10 minutes on each side.

Thank you so much I did not do it after that one time and don't plan on doing it till after the baby is born. I felt the cramps in my lower abdomen get much stronger. So I decided to never do it again till after the baby is born. So thank you all so much.

They say inducing breast milk before birth can cause severe contractions

But what about the mothers that are still breastfeeding while pregnant they don't seem to have severe contractions and it doesn't seem to induce labor

Your milk doesn't come in until after the baby is born. You're only leaking colostrum at the moment.
You can try pump that and store it for when the baby is here just in case anything happens and it can't go on the boob right away.
The amount you leak during pregnancy has no bearing on how capable you are of breastfeeding your baby.
Be careful though as pumping can trigger contractions and early labour which is the last thing you want.

Don't pump again unless your doctor says to because it can cause labor to start. But as for the amount, you're not going to make much until after the baby is born. Right now you are producing colostrum which if full of good fat and high protein. It will be where your baby gets most of its immune support. As for being salty look back on what you ate a few hours prior to pumping. Your milk will be a reflection of what you have been eating. But usually it will have a sweeter taste to it. As long as you are eating healthy there should be no reason to worry about your milk flavor, unless it was frozen you want to make sure it didn't go bad.
