I'm nearly 37 weeks, yet haven't had leaky boobs, braxton hicks,or any of the things I expected to by now. Baby is 3/5ths at last ante natal, but I just wondered how normal it is not to have any of the above when I hear of so many women experiencing these.

Nothing to worry about imo. Everyone is different. I certainly didn't have leaking boobs at 37 weeks. Can't remember about BHs.

The most important thing is to keep an eye on the baby's movements.

Baby is very active so I have no worries on that score. Too active sometimes!

I didn't have BHs with ds, just the full blown thing when went into labour. Nothing to worry about as long as movements are as expected.

I didn't have BH with ds1 until nearly 39 weeks and haven't had leaky boobs at all with either pregnancy

Sarahjct · 31/12/2007 22:25

No leaky boobs here at all (38+4), very few BH and I don't even think she's engaged yet....

I don't think she has any intention of moving...ever!

Didnt have any leaking boobs with either pregs and only felt braxton hicks with ds2

I am not aware of having an BH (am 35 weeks) but at my last appointment my mw said 'oh good, nice strong BH'. I was a bit 'eh?'. I mean, all she did was put her hand on my bump to say that, and I can't tell! I still haven't felt these BH that she spoke of ...

Just had ds 5 days ago. My first baby, no BH and no leaky norks. Was worried this meant that I would have problems with milk production, but it all seems fine.
HTH and good luck with the rest of your pg!

You echoing concerns I had...Have had 2 previous pregnancies with no leaky boobs or noticable BH throughout.Both times was able to breastfeed successfully from moment of birth with no problems whatsoever.

Please don't worry makingnosense and hope you are getting lots of rest when possible over these last few weeks of pregnancy

whomovedmychocolate · 01/01/2008 10:46

I thought the BH were movements .

Consider yourself lucky though, I was producing mass quantities of custard like colostrum from 20 weeks!

I didn't have any braxton hicks when pregnant with either girls the first pains I got were labour. No leeky boobs either.

ALomonderfulLife · 01/01/2008 10:56

There were no leaky boobs here either or braxton hicks!

Don't worry, everyone is different. You will be fine
