I am 22 weeks pregnant with my first and for about a week I have been staining my blouses with breast milk or rather colostrum. It became embarassing and I have started wearing protective pads. My doc says it's ok, but my mom says that this happend to her too and in effect she didn't have breast milk after she delivered. Has this happen to anyone else?

It happened to me with my first also and I too had to wear breast pads throughout. I still had plenty of milk though, never a problem with that! You should have plenty for your baby especially if you eat right and drink lots of fluids!

My breasts were leaking at 4 months of pregnancy. I had lots of breast milk, so much that I had to wear nursing pads for several months after I gave birth (I breast fed for 8 months). I even had to wear my bra to bed, so I could wear the nursing pads, or I would have soaked the bed. Check with your doctor, but I am pretty sure there is no connection between leaking in pregnancy and the amount of milk you have after delivering.

How funny, I am also 22 weeks pregnant and started leaking colostrum last week. It's perfectly fine, I leaked with my other two children as well and still had plenty to feed them when they were born, Good Luck to you and Congrats!

It happened to me... maybe not quite that early, but way before baby came. It only lasted a couple weeks, then I saw nothing until after the baby came. I highly recommend buying washable breast pads... they are way cheaper, and just as effective.

it is normal. It will not effect how much colostrum you will have for the baby... this could start at 16 weeks at the earliest

I had leakage around that time in my pregnancy but it stop. Just because you are leaking now does not mean you won't have any after pregnancy. As long as your baby latches and tries to feed you will make milk.

What you have on the 2d is colostrum - the premilk. little ones in uncomplicated terms choose this for the 1st few days till at last yoour appropriate milk is provided in, so there isnt any would desire to shop this

Yes, I noticed this happening way before my due date, by months, but I sucessfully was able to breastfeed my daughter for 8 months, so your mom must have had other problems that prevented breastfeeding
