Breast milk

I'm 28+4 and I have no breast I'll at all I saw on here a lot of women get it around wk 24 now I don't want it to come I just want to make sure everything is ok... My mom didn't get it until birth for my brother and I same in the rest of my family, my breasts are only a little sensitive, and I only drink organic milk (because although I haven't done any research  only my common knowledge of regular milk is that the cows are pumped with hormones to force them to produce milk even when they are not feeding their calfs even long after their calf is grown and those same hormones work the same with women who consume the milk or dairy product from said cows) could this be why my breast milk hasn't come yet because I'm not adding any hormones like that to my body?

There are actually some women who produce colostrum and even milk before birth. However, it is very rare. You have nothing to worry about at this point. Normal women do not produce milk until after birth.

It varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy. I had nothing at all until right at 31 weeks and now, though a little colostrum has come in, I'm not actually leaking enough to deserve the word "leaking." Just a few drops every now and then (just enough to be sticky/itchy, because apparently colostrum is thicker and sticky which kinda *****).

Firstly, nobodys milk comes in before baby is born. It is the procrss of childvirth that helps produce the hormones needed for milk production and let down. What some women leak ahead of time is a bit of colostrum. This has bothing to do with how your aypply will be after baby comes. Some women leak before baby and others dont. It also has nothing to do with dairy hormones. I am lactose intolerant and haven't had milk in years yet I have been leaking colostrum since about 16 weeks. It just happens to some people..... Also hormones are given to produce more milk than needed in dairy cows, but cows still give birth once a year to maintain lactation (that's where the veal industry comes in)
