- By NatMAugust2020nJust a bit of a rant. I started tonight trying to express colostrum but got barely anything. Anyone else really not enjoy doing it? It’s unpleasant and borderline hurts.

3 weeks left “ish”, and I’m at the royal children’s, barely slept, my youngest (middle child soon) just got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. So lots of stuff happening yesterday and today, the shock of it too, as no one has type 1.

My mums telling me I can’t drive afterwards but I feel that’s a bit dramatic. Will it constipate me like the tablets do? Thanks90
