21 weeks and no leakage?

aeron143 · September 2014

Hello iv heard and read by this state we are meant to be leaking abit from our nipples. Mine definately aren't- anyone else?

I think leakage is a possibility, not a definite. I have never leaked prior to giving birth. And in case you're worrying about supply, both my kids were exclusively breastfed with no supply problems.

Why are you wishing extra side effects on yourself?

Maple403 · September 2014

No leaking here either. My Mayo clinic book says that it is common to experience leaking by the end of the 2nd trimester. Nothing to worry about yet.

I have never leaked colostrum during pregnancy or breast milk at any point. I actually have an unopened box of nursing pads from 2008! Now that I think about it, I have been nursing either a baby or toddler since 2008 with the exception of a 7 month break in 2010 and still currently bfing DD.

In the past 6 years, I've never leaked anything. Nothing during let down from the other side or even at night while sleeping. The absence of leaking has not been indicative of low milk supply for me. I've actually battled oversupply issues in the beginning with each baby.

It's not a definite sweetie... And why wish leaky boobs is beyond me. I didn't leak with DD and pray that I don't this time either. I'd rather skip that inconvenience.

No and I don't really want them. lol. I am 21 weeks and haven't felt my babies move either. Pregnancy is different for everyone!

I thought this was about pee. I definitely have pee leaking issues - thanks, DD. Boobs are fine.

I haven't yet during this pregnancy, but I started experiencing it around 20 weeks while pregnant with DD1.

Echoing PPs, is normal and can happen doesn't mean it will. No leakage with DS and my leakage thus far hasn't been noticeable to anyone but me.

I never leaked even one drop with DS the entire pregnancy. Hoping that happens again - who really WANTS to leak? There will be enough of that happening once milk comes in.

This 100%. Don't borrow trouble, OP.

I never leaked in pregnancy with DS, milk came in 2 days postpartum and I breast fed for 16 months with no supply issues.

I thought it was going to be about the dreaded "D" word...

( @jaztastic‌ is that you?)

Leaking is NOT fun. Be happy you are not leaking.

Chcaggie1 · September 2014

yes, it basically really isn't cool. Its not something I was expecting but have experienced it a couple of times. I don't like it, honestly. I would prefer for my boobs to just be sexy (and dry!) for a few more months and not milk dispensers until my lo arrives but apparently I'm one of the "lucky ones", lol.

I'm confident almost nothing in pregnancy is garaunteed to happen to everyone. We are all totally different. This board has taught me that.

JNettie73 · September 2014

No leaking here either and I am thankful.

cls78 - I have not felt my LO move yet either. I am getting impatient. I hope I start feeling something soon!

mamabumkin · September 2014

With my first two pregnancies I started leaking slightly when pressure or squeezing was applied, around 26-30 weeks and had leaking problems during the short time I bf. Haven't had any leaking yet with this one.
