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 😕

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

@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.. ссылка…-teach-a-mother-the-technique-of-hand-expressing

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

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
