    One leaky boob

    So I suppose it's good to know that things are working...
    But agh! :eek: My right boob has a mind of it's own and I've been caught out a couple of times now feeling suspiciously wet and slightly sticky Time to start on those lovely nursing pads, I suppose...
    Though do you think it's ok that only one boob is doing it's thing?

    Same Emma, ive always had a problem with the left. Its also the first breast Chelsea latched on to.....wonder if its linked some how. My midwife said attatch her to the left side first off and i also read somewhere that babies identify the left side more then the right. Has something to do with the heart beat??

    Haha Amy. Last pregnancy I had a terrible time of leaky boobs, and this time so far nothing! Its got me a little worried, but I figure its because my hormones are more balanced out this time. The midwives aren't concerned, so I guess everything is OK?
    I also found that it was worse when I didn't have a bra on. But yes..... time to crack out the breastpads
