Leaking?

Anyone else boobs started leaking? Last night I was in the shower and noticed a little colostrum leaking out. I'm 34 weeks tomorrow and am planning to breast feed so I am glad to know my women parts are working :) I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this too.

    I'm 34weeks and mine haven't. :( I'm worried that I won't make milk but my mom and my bff who just had her baby in September said don't worry it will come! :)

    Yes @daphneh28 I'm sure it will come in. I was just kind of shocked but in a good way, I've had a rough pregnancy with nausea and vomiting so this was a positive thing for me :)

    I've been leaking since about 16 weeks... Don't be alarmed, it's normal. Your body is just getting ready! I was quite alarmed since I started so early, but the doctor said I should see it as encouragement to BF, which I plan to do anyways. I bought washable pads and wear them in my bra. It helps for when they leak throughout the day!

    I've also been leaking since the beginning of second tri. My nipples have this green crusty stuff on them and the doctor said it was dried colostrum.

    I've been able to express a little for a few weeks now but I don't leak.

    I can squeeze out a drop or two of clear liquid or colustrum, but haven't started leaking.

    mine have gotten HUGE and are constantly itching like crazy......but no leaking yet. im 33wks and also wondering if my parts will work properly , mostly because I had an augmentation 2 years ago.....I know other women who've had one have no problems but just makes me a bit nervous

    For weeks now ... probably since about 22 weeks? I only leak when I'm sleeping though and probably because my boobs are pressed against a pillow or the mattress.

    No leaking, but I get dried crust in the cracks of my nipples that is obviously more than dried skin. I keep squeezing them trying to get something out, but nothing yet :-/

    How common is it to leak? I haven't seen anything yet AND my boobs aren't even that much bigger! I never had to switch bras! It's funny, I have a fairly large chest to start, but they actually look smaller now with my belly!!

    I am 31 weeks and mine don't leak but if I squeeze the nipple a little colostrum comes out. It started happening at like 28 weeks for me. I am having twins, so not sure if the extra hormones are making my body create it sooner than others.

    Same here- boobs are the same size as before pregnancy and no leaking or anything like that. I'm 33 weeks.

    Started leaking at 19 weeks. I have a friend who just hit 3rd trimester and nada. I think it just varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy.

    I have some crusts that formed on one nipple from dried colostrum so apparently I'm leaking. I hadn't even noticed, DH mentioned it lol. Little lotion and a wash cloth and no problem.

    A little on and off.
    Leaking is no indication of milk production FYI :) some women who leak the whole pregnancy can have a lot of trouble establishing their supply and a lot of women who never leak don't have any problems at all. Every woman is different. Don't stress about this.
