Milk coming in early

I am not due for another 4 weeks but my boobs have started to leak a tiny bit.
I have had a look online to see if this is normal but it's mostly about the first few days after giving birth or it says it's in preparation for birth in next few days.

Is this normal? Or should I expect the little one to make an early appearance?

Thanks

I had full on leaking for about 6 weeks before he was born. Arrived two weeks late as well.

Downside was I didn't produce milk when he was born - I'm sure I had leaked the supply out 😕

I had colostrum from 21weeks with DS1, it's completely normal. You could start antenatal hand expressing into syringes and freeze it. Then when you go into labour pop them in the fridge and are great if you have issues with feeding etc

I leaked early, around 25 weeks, with DS1. He wasn't early and I ended up being induced. From what I can tell it didn't affect my milk supply as I had more than enough.

I'm hoping for a similar experience this time round, minus the leaking and induction.

It's totally normal! I started around 26 weeks, baby born at 38weeks.

Leaking colostrum is totally normal. I had it from about 28 weeks and dd was born at 42+3
