As above you absolutely do not get Breastmilk while pregnant. If you leak anything it's colostrum. Most women have it by 20 weeks, but not everyone leaks so you may not see it. It's not the same thing as breastmilk. A few days after baby is born you will get milk. The baby will eat colostrum untill the.

I should clarify that you don't get Breastmilk while pregnant UNLESS you are already nursing a baby then you would continue to produce it.

Its not breast milk that she's getting. Its colostrum. Which is the first thing the baby will eat after birth until your milk supply comes in.

I'm currently 37 weeks. @ 36 weeks I started to leak but no milk, and it's only a small amount around my nipple.  But I did not leak anything at all with my first two children until they where born.

I feel like if you can breastfeed while your pregnant you can pump and plus I haven't had any problems and my doctor isn't concerned

[sweetbee3]

Its not actually milk unless your already breast feedinG another child.  If you where not, and "dry" pre-preg than what your saving isn't milk.

[prestonkeona]

I've had my milk since I was 20 something weeks and have been pumping bottle's and freezing them I'm now 30 weeks and still doing the same

[sgulia1987]

You shouldn't be pumping while pregnant.

[roflbecca]

You shouldn't pump while pregnant. And there's honestly no reason to be saving your colostrum anyway. They baby really only eats it for a day-a few days until your milk supply comes in.

I started leaking colostrum around week 37. Might have been sooner, but I didnt notice. Everyone is different, dont worry yourself.

[roflbecca]

Not until after you give birth

My sister in law is only a week ahead of me so she's 32 weeks and she told me she already started to get breastmilk.
