At what week do you usually notice your breasts start to leak? And does it happen to everyone? I'm between 26 and 27 weeks and havent noticed it. Just wondered If I should be concerned?
*No Stupid answers please*

I'm 28wks pregnant and mine haven't leaked at all either... indeed apart from getting bigger my breasts haven't changed at all! lol.
I asked my mom about this (cause alot of people have spoken about how they are "leaking" and i wasn't sure if i should be or not).
She told me that with each of her 3 kids she didn't leak at all - she didn't start producing anything until the day we were born! Apparently thats fine too - some people leak in pregnancy, some people don't - either one is OK.
Good luck with baby! :)

My sister didn't leak at all during her pregnancy. I leaked a little in the last couple weeks before delivering. I think its different everyone. Don't let yourself get stressed out if you don't follow a "by the book pregnancy." (no such thing) Everyone's body/hormones will react differently during pregnancy. However, if you are concerned talk to your doctor at your next appointment.
You have plenty of time to leak once you've delivered and are breastfeeding. Appreciate the leak-free days now! ;-)
Congrats on the new bundle of joy!

All I had to do was look at a crib, diapers or think about babies and I leaked in my 5th month. Buy some (Lansinoh) disposable breast pads, and start using them before you really get embarrassed. Trust me on that one.
I was so full of milk and ready to burst that I bought a breast pump and started pumping then freezing my breastmilk in my 5th month.
Anyone that tells you it's not possible has NO idea what they're talking about. Been there, done that, own the breast pump.

Don't be concerned. I am 27 weeks also & I have not noticed anything like that either. Every woman/pregnancy is different, so if you are concerned, just ask your doctor. Best Wishes for a happy, healthy baby & God Bless!

I started leaking at 20 weeks. I am now 28 weeks and have to wear the nursing pads to keep from soaking my shirts. I think that you are lucky! I hate it! But- it will all be worth it in the end! Good luck to you with the rest of your pregnancy!

U wont notice it for a while..I started to notice the colostrum at around 7 1/2-8 months..It is going to be clear liquid at first that might be tinged with a off white cream color,the real breast milk wont come in for a few days after the baby is born...Dont worry,it will come..just dont hope for it because its dreadful!
Good Luck!

Every woman/pregnancy is different. With my first daughter I didn't leak at all until after she was born. With my third daughter I could spray people across the room by the time I was 5 months.

My breasts didnt't start leaking until 36 weeks. But during my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies, I started leaking slightly earlier. You can find some good info at babycenter.com

I leaked at 16 weeks. My best friend never leaked during her pregnancy. Everyone's different!
