No...everyone's body is different. Just be patient and the milk will flow soon enough.

The "milk" that you will leak during pregnancy is actually colostrum. It is a yellowish fluid that your baby will eat for the first few days of life. It is packed with protein and immunities. Your milk won't come in until 3-5 days after the birth of your baby.
Don't worry that you aren't producing colostrum yet. You will soon enough. You are at right about the point where you can expect to see a little. You might notice some in the next few weeks.

Milk usually comes a day or two AFTER the baby is born. When you get closer to due time, your breasts will start to leak a clear fluid. Mine didn't start leaking the stuff until about a week or two before I gave birth.
When the milk does come, you will KNOW it. Get some nursing bras now that fit loosely, or even sloppily. The milk will take up the slack.

Absolutely not. With my son, I did not leak at all until after he was born. At that point, I had plenty of milk to feed him. Be thankful that that is one less symptom you have to worry about right now, and if you are concerned, you can bring this up with your doctor, but in my experience as a mother, not leaking during pregnancy doesn't mean anything.

Everyone's body reacts differently to pregnancy. With my first baby mine did not come in until after I had him. It was a rough first couple of days, but stress may have something to do with it. You could try to find a tea called ;Mother's milk" it has herbs in it that stimulate milk production, but I might wait until after I had the baby because I think it also stimulates contractions. Check with your doctor. Raspberry has had similar effects, and is in the tea. Just relax. That is the best thing to do in any case. When your milk fully comes in (usually after delivery) you will be wishing you were back at this stage.
Good luck.

it doesn't mean u won't have milk. everyone is different, especially for a 1st pregnancy. and at 25 weeks you've still got a ways to go (average pregnancy is 38-40 weeks). i didn't have any milk before i gave birth and my son is 16 months and i'm still nursing him twice a day, i had no milk shortages once my milk 'came in' fully when he was a couple of weeks old. don't worry...or ask your doctor.

No. It is not milk she is leaking either it is colostrum, or pre milk. Not all woman will get this untill after there baby is born. All woman are different I got mine at about 31 weeks. Don't worry your time will come.

I started leaking at 21 weeks, but everyone is different! Most women won't start to leak colostrum until close to their due date or even after! So, don't worry, you are fine :) If you are really concerned, talk it over with your doctor.
Congrats and good luck!! :)

You shouldn't worry. Each person is different. You can get milk up to and after the birth of the baby.
You may need to drink more water to enhance the production of milk.

It doesn't mean that at all. I didn't leak until after I gave birth and it was everytime he cried!!
Just be patient and feel lucky you dont have to worry about leaking right now!

no, Sometimes this happen, but that doesn't mean that you are no going to have milk. You will have milk as soon as you baby eat from you. the more he/she eat from you the more milk you'll produce. don't worry everything is o right. Talk to your doctor about it.
