Hiya all....well this is just a query really.....I got in the bath this morning, and these last cpl of days my boobs have been killing me....well Im just led back relaxing as you do, when I look at my right breast (TMI I no, sorry) and think there is a bit of dry skin on it, I go to get it off, and to my amazement....am shocked to find its milk!!! My left is also the same!! Now I didnt start leaking milk/collostrum till about 8 months preg with lil man so I was just wondering if anyone else has started so early, and if this is normal??

As your bound to have heard before, every pregnancy is different in its own ways, so it's perfectly normal to be leaking milk as early on as you are! With my girls, i had milk coming in quite early on, but with my 4th i didnt get anything at all until 3 weeks before he was born (and he was induced as was 13 days late lol) It just means you've copped out having to buy more breast pads that you'd origionally banked on!! Hth x-x-x

I think I had a bit of leaking quite early on in my pg. It was more clear than milk though. It only lasted a few days but was a bit strange. I'm sure its fine and will probably clear up, hopefully won't get worse!

LOL I remember those days! I always leaked early, however with my last one I didn't have much milk for the little man after he came out but with the stress in my life at the time, it doesn't surprise me at all.

Things happen earlier in 2nd and subsequent pregnancies, early milk leakage is very common but don't be surprised if it dries up and stops as well that is nothing to worry about. It's kind of like your body knows what to do the 2nd time round so does it all a bit earlier on.

I leaked far earlier with Millie then I did with Jess. I didn't start leaking milk with Jess until a few weeks before she was due, however with Millie I started leaking when I was only in my second trimester. I also posted on here about it, but was (like you) soon reassured. Don't worry hun, everything is perfectly normal
