Have any moms expressed colostrum before birth? I’m trying but having a hard time getting anything!! Any tips?

I had a little. More will come closer to due date. I ate lots of oatmeal to produce milk and drank Mothers Milk tea also.
I had it from the first day of the 9th month, but it was little. Many women don’t have it at all before giving birth and it is perfectly ok

If ur body doesn’t want to it won’t matter what you do. The more u stimulate your nipples the better but I never really did till I gave birth
It’ll come when it’s needed. You don’t need it until baby is here.

Unless you are trying to stimulate labour, I suggest you to stop trying.

Not really but I had great milk flow
Mine didnt come till like a week before I gave birth and it was very small amount wasnt until I gave birth that I got a big amount. Dont force it jus let it happen naturally

mine didnt come in until 2 days after i had my son.
With my second baby I could squeeze out about a drop manually but nothing significant. With my first I had nothing until after she was born.
Just wait till baby is here cause that’s when you’ll need it and you only need it for the 3-4 before your milk comes in and it won’t be allot since the babies tummy can’t hold allot
Why are you trying if you are not currently breastfeeding you can cause preterm labor stop and let it happen when it needs to

I don’t think you should actively like try to do that I heard.ot.cab send you in to early labor. Your boobs might leak here and there but theres no reason to try and force the milk to come.before the baby. Thats not good. It’ll come when it’s needed and you can always ask for a pump to use in the hospital to try to speed things up.
I agree with some others unless your trying to induce labor probably not a good idea. Everyone is different. Some people get it before and some don’t. I know mine is leaking at this point. (31 weeks) Nothing like your kids laughing and snickering. I’m like what’s funny they say you have water on your shirt on your boobies. I look down and sure enough I leaked two circles 
I’m like whoops 
Save it for the baby the colostrum is the important stuff ur baby is gonna need that
No I never produced milk but don’t give up
