17 weeks, leaky boobs and all that goes with it

[AlexsMum89]

I'm 17 weeks today (baby no.2) and have discovered that I've started lactating. The past weekish I've been even more exhausted, irritable, sick etc. Despite the sickness I did have some kind of libido and now I just don't want anyone to touch me. Anywhere.

Does all this stuff go hand in hand with the beginning of lactating? I can't remember from DS as it was so long ago.

I've been feeling a bit desperate so any kind of encouragement is welcome!

Would be interested to know this too as I'm 15+5 and suddenly have one exceptionally sore boob, like there's some constant let down/mastitis going on. DC2 here too.

@Batman (love the name) my guess would be that you might start soon as well, I've had sore boobs and nipples in the lead up to this but they're feeling better now it's started.
If it is really exceptionally painful though, perhaps check with your midwife in case there's any kind of problem.
