    Let downs before EDD!

    I've never had them before bubs was born but I have had a couple of mild ones in the last few days with a little leak!

    Not going to read too much into it but if you had them before your EDD did you go early or over? Just asking out of curiosity

    With Yasin I had my first let-down at around 20 weeks - scared the life out of me lol. I went a week over with him.
    I had lets downs in third trimester with Imran too and he was 1 week over as well.

    It's the sensation you get in your breasts when the milk starts flowing I liken it to tingling in my nose before a sneeze!

    Sammi - I have been getting them to, so does that mean my milk is in so to speak - with DD it didn't come in till 3 about three days after - so it's there already???

    I never felt letdowns late in pregnancy, even tho I was feeding DS! hehe. Letdowns stopped after the first trimester. And I never had them at all when pregnant with DS.

    Boo boo - no, you'll still get colostrum for those first few days when bub is born. But I'd say your boobs are gearing up!

    I'm pretty sure a week or so before my daughter was born I woke up one morning with a soggy shirt on..wondering what the hell had happened!
    I had heaaps of milk once it came in for her. Was going through breast pads like you wouldn't believe!
