Many moms experience the discharge of colostrum as early as halfway through the pregnancy, about 18-20 weeks or midway into the second trimester. Your breasts may feel full or engorged but your milk won’t let down and there shouldn’t be a need to pump yet. If this doesn’t happen, it doesn’t mean that your milk production isn’t beginning inside your body and there is nothing to be worried about.
