Have you done this with a pump or hand expressing ? X
This is so good I was never able to collect this much xx
@Georgie fab thanks! X
@Laura I hand expressed for the first few days then used a pump (which is not recommended) but I’m 39+4 so if I go into labour I’m happy 🤣x
@Amy the pic was over 48 hours x
Well done! Which pump did you use? Xx
@Laura I just got a cheap one from Amazon, about £35 I think. I can send you the link xx
I’ve got 150ml and read some other posts to take about 25ml? But im not sure either so following for clarification 😅
@Agnes I’m seeing my midwife in the morning I’ll ask her opinion too x
@Agnes I’ve been pumping for a few days now and managed to get about 500mls so far but when I spoke to the midwife this afternoon she just said to take about 10-20mls and if more is needed to get my partner to go collect it as it could go to waste and hopefully baby will latch anyway! I would defo ask your own midwife as well for their opinion xx
Amazing effort!!!!!
@Georgie I don’t wanna bring up the subject with my midwife yet because I’m only 34 weeks and not supposed to be expressing 🫣 but I wanna start packing what I’m gonna take, in case I need cooler bag with ice, or a mini fridge etc
@Agnes my midwife said 10-20mls too x
@Ellie that’s good to know, thank you!
I’ve just asked my midwife this today and she said about 10-20mls. If baby needs more, to ask someone to bring more over just so it’s not wasted xx
