With DD's pregnancy 15m a go, I started leaking
Milk around the 20 week mark I think, and it got more
And more towards the end, had a great supply and
Fed up until 13.5months.

I'm 25+1 and so far no leaking? Does this mean I won't have a good supply this time?

I didn't have leaking in pregnancy with either of my daughters, but did find that my supply was rather more consistent from the off second time. I fed DD1 until I was four months' pregnant with DD2 and I found far less engorgement, far quicker 'settling down', etc. Almost like my body knew what it was doing more. Maybe the same thing applies to leaking?

I don't think it's any sign of future supply. As I said, I never leaked in pregnancy at all either time, and had a lot of oversupply with DD1 (plus some at the very start with DD2). As an illustration, I have only ever fed single sided as my babies never want both sides.
