This is my first pregnancy but I'm quite a bit older than my sibling so I remember the breast milk/new baby smell. Today I really smell of it!

I'm 28 weeks, I noticed it this morning I kept catching a whiff of it and it followed me around for a few hours and then I realised, it's me, I smell like breast milk/new baby?? So I googled it and apparently in the third trimester your boobs can start to smell of breast milk??

Has this happened to anyone else???

Some people do start to leak before baby arrives. Just make sure you wash your bra regularly and if it gets too much you can always start to use breast pads, you can get some useful washable ones.

@PritiPatelsMaker but I'm not leaking milk, I literally just smell of it!

@newbluecurtains are you sure you're not? It's basically see through at this stage so could very well have dried in your bra or on your nipples without you realising.

@Juno231 I've had a good look and it really doesn't seem like there's anything dried in there at all. Maybe it means it's going to start soon?
