So I have started leaking allot within the last couple of days. I know that this early stuff is the colostrum, before the milk. I wasnt sure if it was a sign of anything or not, as in getting closer to having the baby, or if it just comes at differnt times for differnt women.

I started leaking when I was about 16-20 weeks, so it's very normal.

I am currently 22 weeks and I have begun leaking as well. Either from stimulations or after a shower. I had the same thing happen when I was pregnant with my Son except it was around the 30 week mark. This is normal and can happen at anytime. Your body is just getting prepared. If you are leaking alot, purchase washable nursing pads and place them in your bra. You will after the Baby is born anyways, why not start using them now if needed. Good luck.

I always start leaking after my breast start getting full when I'm still pregnant of coarse. And then they continue to leak for a few months after the baby is born. But eventully it stops. The leaking during sex is normal, just having them exsposed can make them leak. Don't worry eventually it will stop, it will probably be longer than you would like, but it will. Thank you for reading and responding to my post from a while ago.

I started leaking just a few drops around 25 weeks. This is my second, and with my first I never leaked at all. It would just happen out of nowhere, I'd just be sitting there and it would happen. It just means that your breasts are getting ready for breastfeeding, I don't think it counts as a sign of imminent labor....at least, I've never heard that it is.

that started happening to me around 24 weeks, it only happens sometimes i asked my doc about it and he said stimulation will cause that, i'm 31 weeks now and it still occasionally happens either from my husband (tmi) or just from my shirt rubbing the wrong way, you can buy nursing pads they have a sticky part on the outside that can stick to your shirt or whatever so it's not as embarassing good luck!
