Is there a particular reason why you suddenly start leaking loads of milk?

It kind of started yesterday and have been leaking alot which I find really odd as I can never produce alot of milk when I have babies.

End of next month.

It didnt happen in my last pregnancy and that was my second.

Have been having lots of BH's too

oh well your hormones are obviously doing a cracking job

i;m afraid it might not have any bearing on when baby arrives, but certainly means things are gearing up

BH are good, this baby might well come shooting out !!

I really really hope so.

A nice calm and quick home birth would be lovely

Hmmm - doesn't mean the baby's arrival is necessarily imminent I'm afraid!

I got very excited in my first pregnancy because I started leaking milk at 36 weeks whenever I saw a baby, and was convinced it meant I was about to go into labour. I had to be induced at 11 days overdue!

I didn't leak milk at all in my second pregnancy though, so I don't understand what causes it. My first baby was very big and a good feeder, and I produced a lot of milk while breastfeeding him - maybe that has something to do with it, and my body kind of knew it would have to start laying down supplies??!

I started leaking milk at 20 weeks. DD1 born at 40 weeks

Tbh I had resigned myself to the fact that this baby will be late as dd was 4 days overdue and ds was 10 days over.

Things just seem a bit different this time.
