    When you are about 6 months, your body may start to prepare to begin milk production. Usually around 7 months, you will notice "colostrum" either leaking or expressed from the nipples. This is premilk, and for some women, it does not appear until after the birth of your baby. About 3-4 days after birth, you will feel your breasts becoming engorged. This may cause your breasts to enlarge 3-4 times there original size.

    Every women is different and as always consult your doctor, how far along are you?

    Some women will notice it very early on, others not until closer to the end, and many others not unless they were purposely trying to express. When you notice it plays no role in whether you will be able to produce breastmilk... it is a rare situation when that happens.
