Is breast feeding 'less leaky' second time around?

I'm 22 weeks pregnant with DB2 and at this stage, last time around, I was leaking colostrum like there was no tomorrow. When I breastfed, I went through packs and pack of breast pads for a long time. I was wondering if breasts learn to be less leaky second time around and this is why I have no colostrum yet.

I found I was more leaky ... constantly damp.

More leaky? Oh well.

I'm less leaky 2nd time round, like you didn't leak colostrum in pregnancy when I did first time round. It's kind of like my body knows what it's doing this time round.

leaked liked a really leaky thing with all three.
still now, even thought Gecko is coming up to 4 months, I can still make wet patches

I reckon I could feed 3 and still be leaking lol

I was less leaky this (second) time around, but had only had 4m off bfeeding so maybe my boobs just remembered what to do a bit better!

I was really leaky with first two, finally managed to get off breast pads with the dts, but not straightaway. I've heard some people are less leaky second time aroudn thoguh.
