milkless
I haven't had any breast tenderness since week five or six I'm in week nine now I know most would call me lucky but I'm worried it means I won't produce milk to breast feed
Not everyone's milk supply comes in right away some during 3rd trimester others once baby is born and has suckled on them. Mine are like that and I'm 38+1 weeks and my doctor said it's ok.
It just means you're lucky. Prolactin levels won't really start to rise for quite a while yet - you have seven whole months to start producing milk. The percentage of people who actually physically cannot breastfeed is less than 5% and a large number of those are because of other issues not related to supply. You have a very very very good chance of being able to breastfeed. Don't worry about your boobs!!
