Leaking Colostrum
Posted: 10-14-07 09:19am

I know this has been asked before, but when did you guys start leaking? I'm going on 34 weeks, and this weekend I noticed that they were leaking more than just a tiny bit.

I've been leaking forever now--since 18 weeks (I'm 31 weeks now)! This is my first so there is no way my body is remembering what to do from a past pregnancy. My OB says everyone is different how the pregnancy hormones affect them as to when/if they leak colostrum. If you don't leak though, it's not a cause for concern either; many women don't leak during pregnancy and still are able to breastfeed just fine.

I started leaking around week 24, I think. Some days were heavier than others. Breast pads are about to become your new best friend for awhile!!!!
