Not leaking this time??
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.
Thoughts??

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 :)

I never leaked at all through either pregnancy. Had low supply with my daughter, oversupply this time so it's in no way connected :)

i think you'll be fine. i agree with pz. and fwiw i havent leaked with either pg & i fed my ds for 20 months & everything is ok so far this time :)

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.

Many women don't leak at all during pregnancy and still breastfeed successfully. I never leaked, either.

Fwiw I leaked from 16 weeks and my milk didn't come in until day 6.

I have never leaked, but have been blessed with crazily fabulous supply both times.
FX you will be a-ok
:hug:

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.
