    Question 1st pregnancy and milk??

    Hey Everyone.

    I'm just courious to know in your 1st pregnancy while being pregnant, did you any have milk/colostrum come through and ''leak'' while being pregnant?? And how early in the pregnancy did it start to happen??

    I'm suprised and amazed how soon mine has come through, but its all good.

    TIA

    Pretty sure with DD1 I was only about 20 weeks.
    Didn't pay much attention with the others

    I didn't get any leakage until after DD1's birth. Then I had bath towels stuffed down my top and couldn't go anywhere for two weeks... I was a fountain.

    I didn't know I had colostrum in until my sister told me to check at about 21 weeks, so I squeezed my boob and there it was!! LOL.
    It's my first pregnancy too... I don't get very much, and some days it takes forever to get any out... Hopefully I will get more when baby comes!!

    I noticed colostrum at about 16 weeks and was leaking at night by 20 weeks. I thought it was pretty cool

    I've had it since probably 20 weeks. I've found if I lean on my boobs while I'm lying down/sleeping/whatever I will get wet patches and sometimes it'll just happen. I've also found sometimes I have leaked when I've gotten very emotional about something and they literally drip after dtd. DH is terrified of them

    DH is terrified of them


    Mine were all different, I think about 20 - 24 weeks with my first & with Pie there wasn't much at all beforehand, I had to give them a squeeze in the shower to check

    Its crazy! I even said to him the other night when I accidentally leaked on him when I was cuddled up to him "I don't know what the big deal is, it's just colostrum, it's natural and you're gonna get this on you anyway soon enough you know, and it won't just been a weeny little bit like that!".

    His response? "Yeah, but in the form of vomit... that's different!". Seriously?? I think I'd prefer the non-vomit option personally, but to each their own I guess!
