29 weeks breast leaking

Around 2 weeks ago my breasts started to leak but apart from 1-2 occasions when the left breast leaked very little (tiny marks on my t-shirt), it's only the right breast which is leaking almost every day.
Is that normal? I am starting to worry that the left break may have the milk ducts blocked.

Sounds normal to me. You'll know if you have a blocked duct- they're painful.

It's fine. My right was always more active than my left.

@FourPlasticRings when will I know if i have a blocked duct? Before or only after I give birth?

I read a stat from Bounty today that said almost three quarters of mums produce more milk from their right breast than their left so it may just be that Smile

If you've not got any pain or lumps then you're fine. Generally, blocked ducts get cleared by feeding the baby anyway. I've had a few in my time- basically massage from just above the point of pain towards the nipple in firm strokes while feeding as much as possible on the affected side. You can also apply heat. But I strongly suspect that what you're seeing is normal variation from one breast to another.

That's completely normal. My left boob leaks more than my right boob.
