Hey mama, I started around 36 weeks too 😊 A lot of us only get tiny drops at first, totally normal one.
Sometimes can collect 0.5–1ml only after quite a bit of effort. Don’t stress about the amount. The stimulation and practice is the main thing.
I used a warm compress + gentle massage before hand expressing and it helped a lot. Some days got more, some days almost nothing. Also make sure your gynae already cleared you to collect ah, because nipple stimulation can trigger contractions for some mums.
Honestly even a few syringes of colostrum can be super useful after delivery, especially if baby cluster feeds or needs topping up. You’re doing great already!
