Potential early arrival signs?
I am 37+2 weeks and tried hand expressing colostrum for the first time this evening. I managed to get 0.9ml on my first time! Could this be a sign of early arrival as I didn’t think I would be able to get that much from the first attempt?

Ante natal colostrum production has no correlation to post birth milk production (as studied in the DAME trial in Australia). It doesn't mean labour is imminent, some people are actively leaking from 2nd trimester
Doubt it! I’ve been collecting about 4ml a day/every other day for the past 2 weeks now and no sign of labour! X
Unlikely has any correlation I can collect 20ml a day in colostrum and still not sign of baby 40+3 weeks 😫

Some people just have lots ready to go. Generally has no correlation to delivery
