Colostrum

Its said that milk duct starts forming the moment we get preggy... and by 3rd trimester.. we shld have some colostrum ready for the litttle ones...

Colostrum is the first "milk", also known as liquid gold.. that the breasts produce as a precursor to breast milk. Your breasts have been growing and developing throughout your pregnancy and are now producing this rich, high-protein pre-milk, ready for when your baby is born. Colostrum is actually produced in the breast from about 16 weeks and is a thick, creamy or yellow substance.

while size doesnt matters as said in the books n website... I would not have expect myself to have colostrum ready at this point of time..
but oh well I was wrong...
somewhere last week I think there was some slight droplets of milky transparent liquid fr the nipples... and i guess thats colostrum right? Quite amazing since Serene mentioned she din have a single drop in sight... cool cool... HBB have somethg to drink immediately aft she is born!!

Meanwhile I notice HBb haven been moving much for the past 2 days... she does move but not much anymore.. .suspect she is getting bigger.. no space for action pack moves liao hehe..
And for myself.. past 2 days i feel more tired too... guess the weight is weighing me down manz...

Seeing HBB on monday again.. guess its gg to be a long process of taking temp n etc due to the swine flu.. sigh...

Hospital r also limiting 1 visitor per patient.. and so if it gets on so for the nxt 2 mth.. I will be more or less affected... it could b a gd thg... so at least i dun get unwelcome visitor hehe.. more rest n enjoy the single bedder luxury thr?? LOL
