When did you start leaking colostrum?

I never leaked with my first and not leaked this time either, I did however successfully start hand expressing around 35 weeks with my first and will do the same for this baby :)

My midwife has advised to start from 37 weeks so you’re full term x

Mine started leaking at 28 weeks and hasn’t stopped. Was a lot later with first baby though x

My boobs have gone back to how they were before pregnant which is worrying me slightly! 😭

Since around 25 weeks ish I think but this isn't my first pregnancy which may play a part in it x

31 weeks and nothing. Figure it’ll come if it’s meant to, everyone’s so different x

Early, 20 weeks ish, a little at first but now pretty consistently. I don’t think there is any correlation between leaking and how much you get after birth though 🫶🏼

Does everyone’s boobs feel full and heavy or more back to normal like before pregnancy? Starting to panic now 😭

since 24 ish weeks, same happened with my first pregnancy too x

@Emily mine feel normal again, just leaky😬 try not to worry, easier said than done but I'm sure everything is fine. Mention it to your midwife? It may give you peace of mind x

To everyone worried about their boobs going “back to normal”… mine never changed in the first place so don’t worry!! As a certified member of the itty bitty titty committee, I really feel like I’m missing out on the bigger boobs perk! To OP, as everyone’s said already not everyone starts leaking and also not everyone is able to hand express before birth either so don’t panic! Your baby will get enough from you when they’re here!

I’m not actually leaking but if I squeeze my nipple then it comes out x

@Chloe oh Chloe you don’t 😂😂 mine went from B cup to G cup and never went back 😭 even when I lost weight they still stayed a G cup but saggy 🥲😂 I’m getting a breast reduction back to size B once I’m done breastfeeding this December baby

I started leaking at around 26 weeks and still do leak from time to time at 29, but nowhere near enough to start harvesting. Some women can notice it early in their second trimester, while others don't get any until closing in on giving birth. All women are different, so don't let it worry you xx

I started leaking at around 19ish weeks, but not enough to collect. I’m now 28+4 and not had much producing recently😂😂. I wouldn’t stress, reading the comments has put me at ease tbh! X

I've been leaking (more like pours out my right one) since about 18ish weeks 😬 2nd pregnancy so I'm not surprised though, I had excessive amounts the first time round too so is just normal for me.

I never leaked with my first and I’m not leaking now (33 weeks). If I squeeze my breast (was curious!) I get a good amount coming out so I’m eagerly waiting until I can collect colostrum but no actual leaking. Last time I had a very large supply, bordering on over supply so I’m not concerned.
