Think it was around week 34-36 my midwife gave me the syringes

I got two when I was 37 weeks, I’d just buy some off Amazon tbh

I got mine at 36 weeks

I’ve just been to a breast feeding workshop and she gave out 7 syringes and said to start “harvesting” at 37 weeks. She said she’d drop some off too if needed.

My midwife gave me some when I asked at around 40 weeks but you can safely harvest from 37 weeks. You can pick them up cheaply on Amazon too!

I went to a birth prep class at 33 weeks and the midwife then gave us a pack. You should be able to get them from your midwife

36 weeks my midwife gave me some x

I got mine last week at 34 weeks.

The midwife at the hospital gave me about 15 after my 32 week growth scan

I got some at 32 week appointment and was told from 36 weeks with the GDM but I got extras on Amazon cheap! xx

You can get 25 syringes off Amazon for I think it was £8

I got 7 at 34 weeks as I was asking for some info pack on giving bitth, pretty sure you could ask for more if needed x

Yesss, we will be given them as of 36 weeks x
