Non-leaky breasts at 37 weeks, 2nd baby. Weird or normal?

So what's that all about, then? With DS I was wearing a bra and breast pads at night at this stage due to leakage. With this one, nothing. I can, if you'll excuse the mental imagery, get colostrum out if I squeeze, but am just not at all leaky this time around.

I'm not complaining, but it just seems a bit peculiar.

I never leaked anything and didn't expect to before I gave birth.

My milk came in about 3 days after birth and there must have been colostrum before that, but I never saw any of it.

Def don't complain Grin I woke up at 20+wks having leaked and soon after had to wear pads all day too... Blush

Sure its normal :)

I never leaked whilst pg. Milk came in about 3 days post birth each time.

Okay, fair enough. Just odd not to be waking up in a lactic puddle this time! Thanks for the reassurance.

I never leaked while pregnant with either baby (have had 2).

Normal Grin and SO much more convenient.

Flisspaps · 09/05/2012 21:26

I've not leaked either time, currently BF 3wo DS no problem!

Had four dc, never leaked with any of them before, not much after, but did end up with huge engorged boulders every time (and it really hurts!)

Ah, well, huge and my breasts shouldn't be a problem.

I agree that not needing to sleep on a muslin has been a major convenience this time...

38+2, 2nd DC no leaking this time

ItsMyLastOne · 09/05/2012 21:34

I never leaked and couldn't squeeze colostrum out until after DD was born.

Chubfuddler · 09/05/2012 21:36

Never leaked before birth and didn't appear to have colostrum either. Bf dc1 to 2 years and still going strong with dc2 at nine months.

Leaked from about 20 weeks with DC1. DC's 2, 3 and now 4-nothing! Not even a drop!

I'm pretty sure anything is normally really. With my first I stared leaking at 24 weeks and this time they were leaking by 20 weeks but I know steal people that didn't have any problem with this at all.

AntsMarching · 11/05/2012 07:36

I was a prolific leaker with dd1. 39 weeks (today!) with dd2 and nothing.

susiey · 11/05/2012 09:18

I leaked with my first , used to wake up with wet patches on my pj's. Didn't/ haven't leaked with 2,3 and 4
