And I keep getting that tingly feeling when your milk lets go when your bf'ing. I didn't have this until I actually had my previous babies. Lol. It seems a bit early.
 
I woke up in a full blown puddle at 15 weeks with my daughter! And I had a RIDICULOUS milk supply when she was born (actually oversupply that ended up being a huge nuisance, eep!) but at least you know you've got the goods ;)
 
Last time it happened around 18 weeks for me and I had a seamless experience breastfeeding. No pain, no obstacles, no problems at all!

This time I am still not leaking at all (almost 27 weeks now). I hope that doesn't mean the BF experience is going to be different. I would like the same again please!
 
with my son which was my 1st pregnancy I started leaking around 18 weeks. Had tons of milk when he arrived but had a hard time breastfeeding due to attachment problems so ended up exclusively expressing for the first few months.

With a couple of my losses at 14 and 16 weeks I had milk come in when I lost the babies. I had even asked the drs for tablets to stop it happening as I knew it would, but they wouldn't give them to me since they thought it was to early to happen. So I think I must just make milk easily.
 
I am leaking too and have been since about 23 weeks. It seems to happen mostly in the evening for some reason. Hoping it means a good time breastfeeding is ahead but that is probably wishful thinking!
 
Lately I've been waking up with huge stains on my tops from leaking, thought it was early but hopefully it means I won't have any trouble breastfeeding :) x
 
My milk has never dully gone away since I stopped bf 3 and a half years ago!! I'm leaking a little bit but only when my boobs are stimulated (in the shower etc) xx
 
I am 24 weeks and haven't leaked at all! If I give them a little squeeze I get a tiny little droplet of clearish stuff come out (I presume this is colostrum), but does this mean I may not have very good milk supply when she is born? I couldn't breastfeed my son as didn't have a good enough supply so it's worrying me a bit this time as wanted to breastfeed this baby for at least a few months
 
no, I wouldn't worry if you don't leak before bubs is born - I was told by midwives it doesn't reflect your milk supply, just something that happens to some women. I know quite a few ladies who didn't leak before hand and were successful with breastfeeding :)
 
I'm pretty sure this happened to me yesterday at 20 weeks.
 
I didn't leak at all with my two boys and I had TONS of milk when breastfeeding. Enough for two babies probably. Lol. So leaking is definitely not an indicator of your future milk supply.
