Hope my milk comes in quickly for these two hungry little boys! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-248107 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 16:24:11 +0000 HabesBabe 248107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never leaked, and I don't think I was producing enough colostrum at the hospital, so we had to supplement with formula the first two days we got home. I'm producing like a mofo now, though... hahahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-248019 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 12:57:18 +0000 rachiecakes 248019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! I noticed at 28 weeks when I was trying on tops at Gap Maternity.<br /> I did have a good amount after he was born and milk started coming in within 24 hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-247948 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:57:41 +0000 pinkcupcake 247948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I started leaking a tiny bit of colostrum during the 8th month. My milk took almost a week to come in, but I think it's because I had some heavy bleeding after delivery :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-247921 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:18:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 247921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope not at all. my milk came in on day 4 with charlie after a c section. with olive, i'm not even sure when it came in. i was pumping from day 1 because they had her in the warmer and we had to stay in the hospital for an extra 5 days. but i was producing so much colostrum with all the pumping (plus she was eating so little), i'm not sure when it changed to regular milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-247885 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 09:30:31 +0000 Minnie_Girl 247885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I first noticed a bit of discharge when I was about 20 weeks. Kind of freaked me out, haha! But now it's nice to know that everything is in working order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-247826 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 07:59:01 +0000 cvbee 247826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did and I was worried, but breastfeeding has worked out great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-247769 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 05:18:15 +0000 mediagirl 247769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did and my milk came in late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-247767 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 03:30:16 +0000 gracecat 247767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed some clear oily liquid leaked all over my bra and two shirts! It was quite a lot, but not yellowish. Does it come out during the wash? I am concerned because oily stains usually stay on my clothes even if it gets washed. Sigh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-231136 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:57:01 +0000 Mrsbells 231136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope didnt leak a drop during pregnancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-231133 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:54:20 +0000 autumnlove 231133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never leaked and my milk came in on the 9th day after my C-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-231123 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:47:25 +0000 mrsmenow 231123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't with DD #1, but with #2 I started leaking around 20 weeks and noticed it most when I got out of the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-231067 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:16:30 +0000 MsLipGloss 231067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinnieBee @RunningEllie: I am so relieved to know that I am not the only one! I have been worried about not being able to bf and about supply, and most recently I have been wondering if my not leaking (I am 33.5 weeks now) is/was an indicator of not being able to bf/pump. I know there are no guarantees, but at least I can cut myself a little slack now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-231037 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:05:19 +0000 kokobee 231037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine didn't leak but i had this milky gummy texture in my nipples. could that have been colostrum dried up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-231029 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:01:35 +0000 MamaMoose 231029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 22 weeks. I haven't had any actual leaking to the point where my shirt is wet. But since the beginning of my 2nd trimester I will notice almost like a lotion substance in my nipples sometimes. Particularly after a hot shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-231015 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:56:41 +0000 mrskc 231015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I wouldn't worry about it. I've read it's perfectly normal to not leak and perfectly normal to leak. So either way is normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-231009 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:55:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 231009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started leaking on mothers day! About 20 weeks. I'm now 31. Fun times lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-231003 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:50:40 +0000 Running Elley 231003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't yet (28 weeks) but I want to lol. I'm scared my boobs just won't work! Completely irrational fear, I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-230999 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:47:11 +0000 winniebee 230999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did! My milk came in 3.5 days after birth, which is within the normal range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-leak-colostrum-while-pregnant#post-230994 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:46:21 +0000 mrskc 230994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26 weeks right now. I was laying on my side, cuddling with DH when I felt something wet. Rolled over and I had a big wet spot on my shirt. Squeezed my boob a little and colostrum started leaking out! </p> <p>Is it wishful thinking that this is a good sign for breastfeeding? Anyone else start leaking colostrum while pregnant? How far along were you? </p>
