I feel like I had a tiny little bit at 13/14 weeks this pregnancy (second pregnancy), but first pregnancy, maybe around 20 weeks? A friend of mine didn’t notice any colostrum her whole pregnancy though. I don’t believe early colostrum during pregnancy has much or any correlation with milk production after baby though. My friend went on to have an oversupply and I had a significant undersupply.

This is my second, but my midwife told me around 20 weeks. I don’t remember any from my first though.

Not exactly sure but I remember getting some colostrum a few weeks before giving birth it wasn’t much though

It always depends. Some moms don’t make any till after birth. I personally started producing a bit early at like 15 weeks. I started collecting at 19 weeks because it was a good amount. It’s not recommended to express though till later like around 37 weeks because it can cause contractions that turn into going into labor

Mine was super early, started getting dots around 9-10 weeks, leaking at 12 weeks, and getting full letdown pains and leaking a lot by 20ish weeks. I ended up being a massive over producer. This is my second pregnancy and I've been leaking breastmilk the whole time and started leaking colostrum again around 12 weeks. It's odd because I'm still producing both. It's like half my ducts are colostrum and the other half are still breast milk from baby #1.

I’m still breastfeeding my 13 month old and mine is still regular milk. I’m 15 weeks
