Embarassing boob question

[highlander]

I don't know why I'm embarassed about this - haven't even mentioned it to DH, which worries me a bit.

Anyway, the last 2 nights I've been lying in bed reading/dozing. Scratched my left breast and some white stuff, that I assume is milk, popped out. Only a tiny bit. Left breast is bigger than right.

Is this normal at 25 wks - I understand it can happen much later in pregnancy? Really silly Q now - I'm not going to have a premature baby am I?

I started leaking at about 4 months last time! My baby was 8 days overdue.

I started leaking around then, too. My baby was 6 days overdue. I didn't have to mention it to DH, it was pretty obvious when it happened. For me, it just meant a really good milk supply for baby when he arrived. Hope this makes you feel better.

ooh, colinsmommy, the prospect of a good milk supply is sweet music to my ears

you are going to be fine and full of milky goodness
with DS1, I woke up one morning in a pool of milk, he was bang on due date and I fed him for 16 months. No leaks with DS2 though
HTH

I had this at about 25 weeks too - once I gave DP a big bear hug and managed to leave him with two damps patches on his t-shirt! and another time managed to squirt the cat in the face! and when you squirt for the first time it can be startling!

Sounds like you have plenty to go round!

Hi Highlander,

Don't worry, I'm sure it's normal.
Imagine my surprise when I woke at about 14 weeks to find dried milk on boobs
They leak every night now, (21+6) not tonnes, just enough to wet my clothes through! Breast pads are a girls best friend though. MW said it was unusual but not unheard of and not to worry.
