@Loren thank you! X
I started collecting at 36 weeks as I was leaking a lot and I have a good collection in the freezer now after a week! I’m being induced early so wanted to make sure I had some. Anywhere from 36 weeks is recommended online x
I asked my midwife, and 37 weeks onwards if you want to actively express it for collection
My midwife told me today I can express from 36w and gave me a kit and info etc x
@Shelby thats what i thought! Unfortunately my midwife is on annual leave so wont be able to speak to her until next week. Going to ring the community midwifes for a kit i think x

If it's coming out on its own in enough volume, you can always collect it. They just tell you not to express until 36 weeks. So either way, you should be okay now!
