Leaking boobs at 18 weeks!

Hi ladies!

Is it normal for boobs to leak at 18 weeks? Just noticed my nipples were a little crusty so I went to clean them and as I squeezed they just started producing 😂

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Yes! Totally normal for some women...happened to me too mostly during the night for some reason. Nothing to worry about.

Yes I’m afraid so. I always woke up with wet patches, also after having a shower seems to be more leaky.

Mine leaked throughout the second trimester I think. It's different for everyone.

If it’s any consolation, I’ve found breastfeeding really straightforward after having leaky boobs during pregnancy… so if you’re planning on breastfeeding hopefully this is a sign it will go well!

Totally normal. When I had my first, I started leaking very early (13 weeks ish) and that continued through to birth. It never really increased in amount for me over time so I never needed to use breast pads

Aw fab thanks everyone!
My sisters never experienced it at all so I didn't have anyone to ask, here's hoping breastfeeding will be easier if the boobs are leaking now 😂

Oh I'm 24 weeks now and haven't had this at all but I'll know now that it's normal if it starts!
