Some women leak. Some don't. To answer the worry that is probably behind this question, leaking does not mean you will be able to breastfeed easily, and not leaking does not mean you with not be able to breastfeed.
It's too early for me to figure out how to eliminate my triple negative, so I leave it as it stands.
I wouldnt bitch about pregnancy symptoms you dont have..., bad luck
This is my 3rd pregnancy and I've never leaked (knock on wood)
I think its more common to not leak than to leak honestly.

Not leaking is ok. Even if you don't leak after birthing a child, it's fine. My boobs didn't go nuts until I heard him cry the first time and they didn't leak until after the first time he nursed.
I'm not leaking at 28 weeks and I didn't with my last pregnancy. But I am... (Possible tmi) crusty. Doc just said it was dried colostrum making its way out. It's fine. I know a lot of women who don't leak and it's no indication of later breast feeding.
@ChickenOnSunday I thought this sounded familiar! Well since we had some many randoms yesterday maybe today will be the day everyone ask the same question!
Like others said, either way is totally normal. I am leaking (especially around crying babies), but I take it as no indication of breastfeeding abilities.
Thanks everyone for the replies. No need for some of the rudeness though! This site woman should feel they can ask anything regarding their pregnancy experiences and not get snooty replies

Damn. This was one of our least rude and snooty thread ever and we still get this reply.

For real. If saying "it's normal, don't borrow trouble" is rude then fuck me.

Seriously. Even if one or two responses were "snooty" (though in my opinion observant ≠ snooty), brush them off, OP. Choosing to tell us how we should've answered will just draw out the vipers (like, uh, me).
Awaiting our bundle of cute chaos.

I think all the leaking posts are getting annoying. I'm leaking, is this normal? I'm not leaking, is this normal? It's just like any other symptom of pregnancy. Happens to some, not to others both is normal. No one is going to know if you will have trouble breast feeding anyways until the baby is born.

Hmmm. Maybe it's just me but before I would make a post on here about a symptom, I would Google it and feel out the answers. Yes, I have a leaky boob and I am FTM. But, wouldn't you just google it to see that all kinds of websites (including medical) say it's normal and okay? I could totally understand if it was something that you could not name the symptom and could only describe it, then it would be understandable to see if someone had a name for it.
I'm almost 30 weeks and I haven't leaked anything yet. Over the past two month I have noticed if I take a really steamy shower my nipples do get yellowish white spots on them but nothing actually leaking out. Most women I talked to didn't leak until after delivery.
If you are worried speak with your doctor. I know there are foods to eat that can hinder or boost milk production but I wouldn't worry about that until the baby gets here.
Re: 29 weeks and no leaking/colostrum from my breasts -any1 else?
