I am only 18 wks and this is my second pregnancy. I am already lactating and I don't remember this happening with the pregnancy of my son] Any one else already have milk leaking from their breasts? ↓

I am 19 weeks along and I have noticed that I dont have milk but I do have the stuff you get in the begining. I dont know how to spell it lol. colostrum. This didnt happen with my first but its did happen with my other 3. Its normal though so dont worry. Some woman have it at this stage and some dont. ↑

Ive never heard of it this is my second maybe my boobs just dont make milk. I bet thats annoying to leak the rest of pregnancy. ↑

I'm not sure what it is that you are leaking..I can't remember the name of it. But it's not milk. Milk doesn't come in until after you have had your baby. The first few days after your baby is born they are feeding off the colostrum until the milk comes in. ↑

yes it is colostrum. its like a yellowish liquid, not white like milk when it comes in. you shouldnt express milk until after the baby is born. ↑

I have a 14 month old, but havn't nursed her in over 5 months. I'm still producing milk (when I squeeze, it's there!) Now I'm 5-6 weeks pregnant, and I feel like I have more! I guess I'll never dry up now! I might as well be some baby's nurse maid! Anyone else have this experience? ↑
