Leaking boobs... 23+6

Ha! So I noticed one wet patch on the left and thought I'd splashed myself when washing up... but just noticed another damp circle by the other nipple. Oh man... is this going to be it now for the next 16 weeks?!

Could be! I leaked from the off until about week 16 but I put that down to having only just stopped feeding my DD a week or so after my conception date!!! No chance for hormones to settle down!

If its not a lot would highly recommend bamboo breast pads as they are reusable, I used them overnight whilst feeding as I leaked a lot. I used disposable during the day though.

About 2 years after, for me..I did give birth (my 2nd) at 43, maybe that's why?

It happened to me around 23 weeks too, and am now 30 weeks and it hasn't happened again.

(I was in a work meeting, and I kept thinking "Why does it smell like baby?" and was mortified to realise it was my boob leaking).
