Shall I pump leaky boobs?

I'm 21+3 and my boobs are constantly leaking clear sticky stuff. I bought a pump for when baby arrives but should I start doing it now, they are so uncomfortable and leaky all the time it's really getting me down.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I'm not sure but I'd avoid trying to express as I'm sure I've read somewhere this can bring on labour (I was told not to express before 34 weeks when I'll most likely be giving birth to my DT at 36-37 weeks). Check with your midwife though as I might be very wrong. Breast pads may be your only option

Ooh no don't do that. Presumably it will increase your milk and, as pp said, could bring on labour.

No, don't pump.

Just get some breast pads.

No, absolutely DO NOT pump - there's a chance it could bring on premature labour.

No definitely not, it can bring on labour!

Just use Breast pads in your bra.
