Also interested in knowledge on this as I noticed very small amounts appearing at 33 weeks. As far as I can tell from some research it's best to hold out on collecting this until 36/37 weeks as in rare cases expressing can induce labour.

I was told if enough you can collect what you leak but don't actively collect like you would from 36 weeks. X

From 36 weeks 🙂

From 36 weeks although I could’ve had a whole collection going by now if we could start when we first started to leak which I was around 22 weeks 🫣xx

36 weeks for single gestation, unless advised otherwise by your midwife.

36 weeks. Not recommended before this time. X
