This qualitative study explored the experiences and breastfeeding outcomes of a group of mothers who expressed colostrum in the antenatal period. In-depth interviews were conducted over the telephone with 12 women who had attended a unique antenatal lactation clinic appointment at 37 weeks' gestation. Seven main response themes were identified. Most women reflected positively upon their attendance and reported that the experience of expressing colostrum allowed them to become familiar with their breasts and gave them a sense of security by having a supply of colostrum stored for possible use after birth. The main negative emotions reported were a sense of embarrassment at expressing the colostrum, particularly in front of another person, the difficulties with expressing colostrum and in one instance, the physical pain associated with the process. Antenatal expression of colostrum may improve maternal breastfeeding confidence. Further research using long-term records will determine whether this practice improves breastfeeding outcomes.
这项定性研究探讨了一组在孕期挤出初乳的母亲的经历和母乳喂养结果。通过电话对12名在妊娠37周时参加了独特的产前泌乳门诊预约的女性进行了深入访谈。确定了七个主要的回应主题。大多数女性对她们的就诊经历给予了积极评价，并表示挤出初乳的经历让她们熟悉了自己的乳房，且通过储存初乳以备产后可能使用而获得了安全感。报告的主要负面情绪是在挤出初乳时感到尴尬，尤其是在他人面前，挤出初乳存在困难，还有一例是与该过程相关的身体疼痛。产前挤出初乳可能会提高母亲的母乳喂养信心。使用长期记录进行的进一步研究将确定这种做法是否能改善母乳喂养结果。
