Susu dah keluar 38w

Hai dear, I understand how uncomfortable that must be! From what I've heard around, some mums do get colostrum leaking quite early like you, and the hardness around the areola is normal, it's just your breasts getting ready. Instead of pumping (since yes, that can trigger contractions), try hand expressing gently with warm compresses first, place your fingers behind the nipple and squeeze rhythmically, which is gentler than a pump and gives you better control. For the leaking, nursing pads or even soft cotton pads tucked in your bra can help keep you comfortable and dry throughout the day. The soreness should ease up once baby arrives and you start feeding, so you're almost there! Still, it's worth mentioning this to your doctor or midwife at your next check just to make sure everything looks good.
