Colostrum production during PG...(possible TMI?)

[Snacks]

My experience has been the same. First pg I leaked quite a lot in the 3rd tri. 2nd pg I didn't leak once. I am breastfeeding Phoebe with no problems. I had colostrum there straight away and my milk came in on day 3. All good Nothing to worry about.

I don't leak as such but if I squeeze my nipples I get some out. With DD1 I could do this by 20 odd weeks, with DD2 nothing at all, and this pregnancy I could do it from around 32wks. Just a couple of days ago DD2 cried and I had a very tiny leak but enough to leave a spot on my shirt.

Apparently this has nothing to do with your milk supply/production once you've had bub.

I've never had leaking in any of my pregnancies but could express some out by hand if I tried.

I have been b'feeding DS during this prg and am still feeding him but it seems to have made little difference, still no 'leaking'.

I don't think it has any bearing on milk production or supply, I have never had an issue with either.

I'm now 38 weeks and haven't had any leaking and can't get anything out by squeezing. Must admit I am a bit worried that there is nothing there and it might not come...

I have been leaking off and on since about 22wks.

I wouldn't stress too much, just b/c you are not leaking now doesn't mean there is nothing there. It might just take a few days to come through, which is fairly normal.

I started leaking at about 20 weeks. ( I'm 34w 3d now). It's not excessive, but I do notice it more in the shower, and I will sometimes have a squeeze to see how much will come out. I actually had a bit of a blonde moment the other day and asked my hubby if I should stop this as I don't want the baby to miss out!!

I don't leak enough to wear breast pads, and most nights i sleep topless, but I have since learnt that maybe that's not such a good idea! I woke up in the night for one of my MANY trips to the bathroom and I swear, I almost ripped my nipple off. I must of leaked when I was on my side and got stuck to the bottom sheet. OUCH!!

Well.... I have managed to express a little bit after a shower... a very little bit mind you, but it's there.

I am still a bit concerned that having less leakage this time means less supply later? But reading your replies...there's probably no need to worry.

Thanks guys
