Boob leakage. Is it normal to have boob leakage during pregnancy? Other people seem to but I've not had any and didn't in my last pregnancy either. I didn't manage to breastfeed last time and really want to this time, but the lack of boob leakage makes me think maybe I'm broken 😕
(I'm realising while typing this how neurotic I sound....!)
Starting TWW. Anyone else? I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I'm 19 weeks pregnant and I don't have boob leakage yet lol..is that normal??
Does your baby father tell you what time to be home like have a curfew ? Because really I'm not a child and I'm not going out drinking or partying it was a child play day and unplanned so of course I didn't wash the dishes if I had known I would of cleaned in advance and cooked but seriously he took it too personal saying I'm in the street all day and it's the last time I do this really do I look ten years old to him ?
So when I'm feeding the opposite boob leaks like crazy I soak through the nursing pad and the shirt I'm soaked at the end of the feeding. Last time I put a bottle under my boob and leaked 2 oz. how long am I gonna be producing this much??!! Anyone else experiencing this
I'm 6 weeks 1 day today, and I have zero pregnancy symptoms!!no nausea, no vomiting, no bloating, no frequent urination, no sore breasts (in the slightest), no fatigue !! I feel 100 percent not pregnant at all!! This is crazy, shortly after getting a positive my last pregnancy, I had it all... and was put on progesterone and that seemed to increase the intensity of my pregnancy symptoms. Well, I'm on progesterone this pregnancy already too. Have been for a week now and still nothing ! Is this normal ??? I mean , I'm not complaining lol, but it's kind of worrisome as I dont feel pregnant at all. I know every pregnancy can be way different from the last, but I've never experienced this.

Some people just don't leak, my friend has 3 kids and never leaked with any of them but has managed to feed them all, she's lucky she doesn't even need to wear pads. I was like a broken tap during my last pregnancy and struggled to feed once he was born but not really leaked this time x

@charlie1510 I am harvesting my colatrum atm - had no leakage but have been hand expressing everyday in case I have any problems feeding baby in the first few hours/days... Speak to your midwife about hand expressing into a syringe xx I only express about 1-2ml a day & it takes me well over an hour xx

I never leaked much with my Lil one who was only born on the 16th april...but with my first and second child I leaked a lot. And I stopped breast feeding early with my other two. 🙈 lol so yes very normal. lol

@joclarke, I did that when my daughter was newborn. I don't think anything would come out if I tried now x

@charlie1510 it will but you may need to massage the breast for a while before you try - takes me a good 5minutes to get it started & there is a technique - my feeding nurse showed me but this link is helpful sweetheart.. https://www.rcm.org.uk/news-views-and-analysis/analysis/how-to…-teach-a-mother-the-technique-of-hand-expressing

Thanks @Joclarke I'll look at that. How do you store it? x

I just got little 1ml syringes and you have to freeze them within 5hrs of expressing & label time & date too... Best not to start expressing until you are 36wks as it can start labour... You only get like a tear drop out at a time suck it up in syringe and apply pressure again to get more out..! Good luck darling @charlie1510

Thanks @joclarke! I'm 36+2 so could start now but maybe I'll wait until 37 weeks and have a go x
