When I was pregnant with DD I was leaking badly from 28 weeks. I have a feeling that it was linked to the steroid injections I had. Within days of having the 2 injections I was leaking. Maybe a coincidence??
I pumped successfully for 7 weeks after birth and then my milk disappeared over a week, I think it was linked to stress, pressure and lack of support and information.
Anyway, I'm 33+4 and no sign of leaking at all. I get some decent drops out if I squeeze, it's started to turn from clear yellow so I know things are developing in there.
I guess I'm worried that I won't have anything for bub. I know I still have time, but I would have thought I'd be leaking by now.
It's okay. The amount you leak and the ability to BF are in no way linked. Your breasts do not yet have a 'set' amount they will make, it all depends on supply and demand once baby is born and you're feeding
No leaking here either, for either pregnancy. My milk arrived on day 3 after DD was born and I b/f for 14 months. I found the first few days the hardest because my boobs were so sore, but I had very little milk in the beginning.
I only leaked with DD1 and that was the longest time for my milk to come in - 6 days.
For the other two - nada. I have enough for about 3 kids so it's def no indication.
