Engorged breast/ lactating before birth of baby

For about two days now I've had this swelling in my breast they become engorged and I have that feeling that the only way to relive it would be to nurse or pump. I did neither of the two. I'm currently pregnant and already having some lactation. With my first baby my milk didn't even come in until after I had him and even then it took a few a days. Could this be a sign of me possibly going into labor soon or is this normal? Has anyone else had this happen to them? In order to take away the feeling I've had to squeeze some of it out just to relieve my breast! Gahh someone else please share

    I believe it's normal. It's happening to me, half the time I need to wear breast pads! My sister said it happened to her too. :) so no worries!

    It's normal. If your breasts hurt you can hand express a little bit. Don't go crazy.

    Thanks for the tip I only asked because with my first pregnancy I didn't experience any of it and I had to be induced at 41 weeks but so far it seems this baby will come on her own so I'm new to the spontaneity of the end stages of pregnancy

    Thanks for the tip! :) I Definetly don't want to pump because it's te colostrum and that's like liquid gold for newborns. But I actually am hoping I make lots and lot of milk I produced a very good about with my first pregnancy I'm hoping this second one will go even better. ;)
