Colostrum comes around the 24 week of pregnancy. Most women do NOT leak however. It is just there.
No, not every woman leaks colostrum during pregnancy. Some women do, some do not. It is different with each pregnancy as well. A woman might leak during her first pregnancy and not her second or she might leak during every pregnancy or never during any pregnancy. Either way is NORMAL.
yes
Generally the woman's body will begin to prepare her for breast feeding in the 3rd trimester. Her breasts will leak a small amount of fluid not quite "milk" but "colostrum", which helps trigger the bodies hormones for producing and encouraging the "let down" of milk. Studies say that the first milk that oozes out of the breast which is called the "colostrum", which is thick and yellow, plays an important role in the health of the baby.
It is normal to get colostrum at any point during pregnancy. Your body is getting ready to feed the baby. All of this is normal for your body.
Not always. Colostrum can leak from your breasts at any time. Pregnancy or not. Hormone changing can make you leak a little big of colostrum. Some women will leak more then others, especially if they've already had children.
Yes. However your breasts are leaking Colostrum or pre-milk and not breastmilk. Breastmilk doesn't arrive until a day or two after the baby is born.
It's probably colostrum, or "pre-milk." It's not just common; it's normal. Not sure why you notice it at night, though. It could be your sleeping position.
No, normal physical activity does not cause miscarriage.
Hello - This is usually caused by several things. Infection, papilloma, tumour etc. You need to see your Doctor straight away about this so some tests can be performed. It is most likely caused by a milk duct infection.
as far as I know whether a woman has a live birth, a miscarriage/stillbirth or an abortion the hormones associated with lactation are still released.... this will go away with time and lack of stimulation. Same as if a woman chooses not to breastfeed her baby. For my 1st pregnancy, I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks and produced colostrum afterwards but never "milk."...and I could only see the colostrum by squeezing my nipple. It went away after several weeks.
Cramps are contractions of the uterus. They can be a normal part of a spontanious or induced miscarriage. However, it is important to have follow up doctor care after a miscarriage to make sure all the tissue is expelled.
