Milk usually comes in 2-4 days after baby is born.
If you are pregnant, the colostrum comes in about 6-8 months along. But it is not like squirting milk... it is clear and thick and will only come out a little bit.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant right now. A tiny (very very little) amount has come out when I compressed my breasts in the shower, but not yet at other times (during sex or otherwise). My sister in-law told me that her breasts started leaking a little around nine months pregnant, but it's different for everybody. The books I have say that you could start leaking a bit in the 7th to 9th month, or it might not start until after the baby is born.
Good luck!

Really depends on the woman. I started leaking at about 7 months of pregnancy.
I wouldn't worry about what hubby thinks and you're just going to have to get over it - it's a natural process and every woman who's had a baby goes through this. And besides, he'll be there to watch you give birth so don't you think he can handle a little breast milk? Are you going to hide every time you breast feed (if you're breast feeding)?

Your body is capable of producing milk after around your 6th month of pregnancy. It doesn't mean that you'll necessarily produce milk until the baby's born, though. It's perfectly natural, so if you're willing to have sex, you'll have to live with the milk too! I wouldn't worry about it... it probably won't happen, anyway.

if you are concerned about it after the baby is born wear a bra during sex. If you are breast feeding it's fairly common to have some milk leak out during sex. During pregnancy it won't spray or anything.

It usually happens about 2-3 days after you have your baby. Colostrum can be there before hand but it isn't as easy to get out and therefore you shouldn't worry. Good luck
