28Wks and Breast Leaking?!?!

L.,

It happened to me too, it wasn't bad, but just enough to be visible.

L. c

I soaked my bra's by leaking when I was pregnant with my first. With my second pregnancy, I never leaked. Both cases are "normal".

Totally normal! This happened to me when I was prego with my son, and my doc told me to go ahead and pump if I can. Thats great, now you have a head start!

This is normal if it appears to be milk. I am assuming it is not bloody or you would have said so. If you are not wearing a nursing bra, I would start now. And hopefully you will breastfeed!

I do not think you have anything to worry about.I still had milk in my breast 5 years after I had my son, and I was 27 when I gave birth to him and he is 12 now. Not to be rude but my husband enjoyed the milk he said that he understands why our son kept putting his hand down my blouse trying to take out one of the breast and this is because the milk was very sweet. and this was long afer he got off the milk. (LOL)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have leaked throughout both of my pregnancies....my md says it is normal - and a few of my friends have had the same problem. mine usually just leak at night but if i wear a sprts bra to bed they do not. good luck!!

Very common, just doesn't happen to all women all the time. My next door neighbor had a baby about a year ago and I had to go buy her a breast pump because she got engorged in her third trimester.

I did that around 16 weeks on with both of my pregnancies. Apparantly it is normal and nothing to worry about! Good luck with your new baby!

Yes this is completely normal. I was shocked too when mine started to leak. My doctor told me my body was just preparing to make milk.

I didn't do that w/my 1st until late pregnancy, but did w/my 2nd--started early 3rd trimester.

yes it is very normal for your breasts to leak during pregnancy esp after the first one. i was a nurse in labor and delivery and have seen this many times also with my son i didn't leak but with my daughter i did, and my daughter just had her 2nd baby 6 months ago and she leaked too (a boy) so it is part of the deal. just wear the little "nursing" pads also the leaking might dry out and then it becomes crusty, if that happens also normal just gently wash and lotion them. hope this helps

I was soaking through the pads within 4 hours during my first pregnancy at 25 weeks, so yes, it's very normal, don't worry about it. And my second pregnancy I had NO milk leakage, the pregnancies were totally opposite in every way LOL

I had this with my first pregnancy, but didn't have it with my second and have yet to see it with my third.
Doctor said it was perfectly normal.

LOL! I went through this, and I have to laugh at it now. When I was pregnant with my daughter I remember waking up in the morning, brushing my teeth, getting ready to start my day. All of a sudden I had a wet spot on my shirt. I just thought maybe I splashed water from the sink or something. Morning 2, brushing my teeth; another wet spot, same place. What do I do? Start looking up at the ceiling checking for a leak in the roof!! The idea of liquid coming from my breasts was so foreign to me that it was the last thing I thought of. So, in saying all that, Yes I've been through it too and I had no problems. Hope you at least got a chuckle!

Yes, this is normal. I started leaking when I was pregnant with my 1st at 4 months!!! And it did not happen with my second pregnancy. It's just like they say - each pregnancy is totally different. You're fine. No need to worry.

OH yes...completely normal. I did about that same time with my first child. Lactation consultant said that's great and no need to worry!

Normal! Even if you haven't had any yet. Mine did this with my first. I think I was 32 or 34 weeks at the time.

It is normal. Some people leak really early on and others don't leak at all.

I had 2 girls 1 year apart. My milk came in quickly after my 2nd daughter was born. Prior to her birth, I started to have some crusting on my nipples and clostrum leakage. My OB-GYN explained his wife's milk and many others began to leak before she gave birth. It should be fine, but it is good you are going to see your OB-GYN to have it examined. Everybody is different!

I know my sister in law stated leaking while she was still pregnant, I think it just some times happens.

I had this starting with my first.

I started leaking slightly earlier than that - time to get out the old breastpads! Hey at least you know you'll be producing milk when the baby comes!
