Did your boobs leak while pregnant?

[pugz]

I am choosing to take this as a good sign that maybe my body is interested in making milk this time around. A full term baby would certainly help and I'm feeling optimistic that I may make it to term this time.

No changes in breast size but I know that doesn't always mean anything.

[bunch]

Yes, during both of my other pregnancies. Nothing so far this time, but I did experience a fantastic amount of growth. I had an oversupply of milk with both girls.

[Saudade]

Yep. First time around I think it started around 28 weeks. BF'd til 15 months. The second time it started earlier but I don't remember when. Third time around it started later but my milk came in earlier.

[pooh8402]

Yep. Not a lot, but some. I ended up having an oversupply and am still nursing at 13 months pp.

[Pilsy]

I remember seeing tiny drops on my nipples, and I got curious and squeezed, so lots more came out. That's as close as I got to leaking while still pregnant, but coincidence or not, I had a small oversupply and nursed until my daughter weaned at 28 months.

Fingers crossed for a full-term baby!

[glitzy07]

Nope, and I had an oversupply with C, ample supply for D, and leak all the time while nursing. But I hope this is a good sign for you!

[momin2013]

Mine didn't leak at all while pregnant, although I leaked profusely and had a bit of an oversupply once DS arrived and started nursing, though.

[Susie]

Nope. I grew about 1 cup size and never leaked during pregnancy. I also didn't leak badly when newly nursing.  I never had any of those "leak through the shirt" moments.  I had an oversupply and am in month #10 of nursing now.  I really only leak on one side when nursing on the other.

I should maybe explain breastfeeding to DD. So far have only talked about bottles....

[spk926]

No and I've always overproduced with both kids. But that doesn't have any barring on your situation. I hope it works out however you want it to!

C sees me nursing D all the time and still thinks he's eating my tummy, no matter how many times I've explained it. Lol The other day he asked if he could eat my tummy too and gave me a hickey on my belly while I was nursing D.

[robyn]

Quite a bit toward the end, probably daily from 34-35 weeks on. No real growth though until after she was born and my milk came in.

[spunkarella]

Dear lord yes, off and on since about 20 weeks. Ditching underwire when I had to buy bigger bras seemed to help, and it hasn't been bad lately.

My 4 year old niece was very curious about breastfeeding. It interesting the questions they ask. She still always wants to watch.

[bk1]

Yep. Started really early during my last pg and I never supplied enough and had to combo feed and switched to EFF by 1 month. I'm currently 29 weeks and my right one has started leaking through my shirt again. Hoping BF goes better this time around. 

[tacoflavoredkisses]

Yes. I started wearing bamboobies everyday starting around 21 weeks because I was leaking enough that I stained several bras. And I couldn't freeboob at home without ending up with random unpredictable wet spots.

[sometimesrunner]

Not at all. They did, however, grow multiple cup sizes. I never made it past 8 weeks with either kid so who knows if I would have had an over or under supply.

[krystee]

No, and my milk never came in. I'd take it as a positive sign!

[sookie]

Yes, with both though it was later with DS.

[steamboat185]

Yes. Definitely more during the second pregnancy.

[CloudBee]

Yes, for a couple of months.

Ha yes so much worse when i "freeboob"

[lolo]

Yup.


SO MUCH FUN.

[pugz]

I am keeping my expectations low but hope i can at least combo feed for awhile. No pumping, no beating myself up.

[EllieT]

Not really. At the end I had a few times were I found a small dry crust on the nipple but that was it. Once I managed to squeeze out a drop but not that was not repeatable.

I'm only 2.5 weeks in but breastfed is going really well so far. He went from 6 lbs 14 oz on day 3 to 8 lbs 7 oz day 11.

(i have PCOS and my boobs didn't grow much during pregnancy, they were plenty big prepregnancy though)

[fashionx]

Yeah, I can't remember when it started but it wasn't always daily. Usually would be noticed in the morning when I woke up and my shirt was stained.

Didn't grow a whole lot, maybe half a cup size? Never had any supply issues, still nursing at 13 months.

[undecidedowl]

Yes, it was (shockingly) my first sign of pregnancy.

[dcn]

No, and really didn't leak much when nursing either time. I hope it's a good sign for you!

Wow that is crazy early! Hormones are so weird

[tootsie]

I leaked a ton with my second pregnancy starting early second trimester. My bras were always stained, it was so annoying. I had crazy amounts of colostrum and so far have a great milk supply. I had good supply with DD1 too, but leaked far less.
