How leaky are your breasts? If that's not too personal.

KateLouise · December 2009

My breasts started leaking around 7 months and I thought it would get steadily worse but it hasn't.

I sometimes leak a tiny bit at night and that's it.

I suppose I'm feeling a bit anxious about milk supply, will it all kick in to play when the baby is born?

I feel like other women I talk to are leaking all over the place at this stage.

Mine only do a little bit here and there...always when I have no bra on, and mostly the right one. I don't know why.

You can have zero leakage and it's no indicator, whatsoever, of your ability to produce. Milk doesn't usually come in until 3 days post partum anyway.

I get flakes of white stuff on my nipples but no liquid.

Mine usually just have a little flakeiness (dried stuff) on the nips most mornings.

The other night before I slept, DH & I did some major nipple stimulation cause:

A) I have flat nipples and they need some work.

Can bring on labor

C) It feels really dang good.

Anyway, in the middle of the night I woke up and felt yuckiness on my boob. I ran to the bathroom and I had majorly leaked. It was odd! But thats the only time I have really "leaked."

i started leaking at around 5ish months. but soon after i started wearing a sleep bra and i guessed i cant feel it no more, but i do still have flakiness, when i take off the bra

Mine's pretty much the same as yours. Doesn't really have anything to do with whether you'll be able to bf or not.

One of my boobs leaked once. I was leaning over on my side and squishing it. When I sat up I had a wet spot.

*megsy* · December 2009

Never...never happened with #1 either and I had major supply issues...assuming it will be the same this time around...

northernkate · December 2009

Never. I usually wear a bra, even when I'm sleeping because these suckers are out of control.

MrsJax09 · December 2009

I had a few cases. I have been padding the bra just in case esp. while I am out and at work.

I started leaking at about 5.5 months, only at night. I started making sure to wear a sports bra to bed and that seemed to put enough pressure to stop it. I never leak during the day, but if I forget to wear a bra at night when I get up to use the bathroom I am wet. The past two nights I have actually leaked through my sports bra so now I have to figure something else out. I mostly leak from my left, but occassionally the right one leaks too. Oh well. My mom told me to be prepared, she leaked through her pregnancies and once she had the me (and later my sisters) some of her let downs were so powerful she could actually shoot milk part way across the room.

with DS i never leaked. i was only able to BF for about 4 or 5 months cause my supply started to go down.
this Pregnancy, at least once a week I get very bad pains in my boobs almost like a "let down" pain if im in the shower or if i happen to smoosh one while having this pain i get Alot of clear fluid from them..ALOT. IM hoping this means my supply will be better this time...or maybe its cause my boobs went from a size 36c to a 36dd which I*mstarting to outgrow

This exactly.

Mine are doing nothing. Only once have I noticed a small spot on the inside of a bra but that was a few weeks ago.

melaniebeth · December 2009

I have never leaked during pregnancy. I EBF'd my 2 daughters each for 1 yr and I don't even leak while I am nursing, never needed pads or anything. I assume it's different for everyone...
