30 weeks and leaking breasts

[DJBebe]

It's been more than a week since my breasts have started to leak, predominantly the right one. Over the last few days I've noticed there is an actual pattern when they leak. So every time when i feel hungry and eat my boobs star leaking immediately , especially at lunchtime or dinner time. Has anyone else experienced this as well?

Does this mean the baby is hungry?

I'm not sure what the connection is with you eating but it's impossible for a baby in the womb to be hungry.

That's great @diyhelpneeded. How are you feeling? 😍

sorry i was meant to reply on a different thread 🙈.

Have you spoken to your midwife? It's normal to have colostrum but not milk.

I had tons of colostrum leak in my first pregnancy, used to wake up to a soaked nightie every morning. No pattern that I noticed. Now at the end if my second pregnancy and haven't leaked once, although I can still express a few drops if I try. I wouldn't worry too much, ask your midwife if you like, but I'd say it's normal.

The best part was that my milk came in really quickly after the birth - same day in fact - even though I had an ELCS. Always wondered if there was a connection!

I have an appointment with the midwife early next week. I didn't want to disturb her just for this. But i find it strange that my boobs only stain my top during the night or when i am hungry and i start eating. They don't leak if i eat when i am not hungry. 🤷‍♀️
I think it colostrum because the stains are yellowish.
