Did any of you start leaking during pregnancy? If so at what stage? I'm 26 weeks and 4 days pregnant & started to leak today

Yup, I'm currently 30 wks, think they've been leaking for the last 8! It's called leaky nipple syndrome apparently and is perfectly normal.

It's got worse today, think I'm going to need pads if this continues.

34 + 6 and i've been getting a bit concerned that this hasn't started at all. Is that a bad sign regarding trouble later on?

I know I started way before I had my daughter 7 years ago but can't remember at what stage it started as it was so long ago. Glad it's normal. I bought pads this morning ready which is good timing! Lol. Also not leaking is not a problem. Some people have nothing until the birth of their baby so try not to worry about that. I just must be prone to leaking earlier

One 20p blob last week, and nothing since (that was 25 weeks). We'll see.

Nyldn- please don't worry. It's not a sign of anything (apart from having leaky boobs!)
I didn't have a drop before dd, not even when I squeezed.
Breastfed for 2 years with no problems.
Please dont worry!

I have to wear breast pads otherwise I leak through my clothes.

Leaky boobs was my first clue that I was pregnant with my 2nd! Lasted all the way through too. I'm 15 weeks with #3 now and nothing so far. Think I was about 24 weeks with #1. So anything goes really!x

Yep 20 weeks with first and 6 weeks with second ?? I continued to have leaky boobs for the whole time I breastfed. I got through a lot of breast pads!

jaidie1988 · 27/06/2014 10:14

ah okay thanks ladies. So I'm not really that early Atol then! I had to wear breast pads last night when it started as it soaked my top. Put some on today while out & about too just incase.
