No leaking in second pregnancy?

Just wanted to get some opinions on this. First pregnancy I had leaking boobs from 18 weeks (I literally woke up soaking wet in bed one night). However this time, despite them swelling a lot around the 18 week mark, they haven't leaked yet. Is this normal? I just presumed it would be exactly the same. I had a theory the other night that maybe it's a boy, as last time I was carrying a girl. We have our 20 week scan today so we'll find out soon enough, was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining (leaking is a complete pain!), it's just different.

Its different in each pregnancy and if you breastfeed I believe. I never leaked in DS or DD pregnancy. But my boobs did leak after DS was born, but never after DD and my late miscarriage (which is due to lack of breastfeeding)

I'm 25 weeks with my first and not started leaking yet.

I'm 23 weeks and I started leaking last week not loads just tiny bits, mostly when I'm asleep. (first baby)

I researched it and found every women and pregnancy is different so what might of happened to you in the last pregnancy might not happen this pregnancy. Just think you don't have to wear breast pads lol

I never leaked when I was pregnant with DS1 and went on to have a major case of oversupply when he was born - I seriously had more milk than I knew what to do with. No leaking this time either.

Can't wait to hear how your scan goes.

Thanks for the replies ladies. We can burn my theory, no boy bits in sight! Looking like team pink!

Never leaked while pregnant but can tell you that it seemed my boobs got "smarter" with each pregnancy! With my first they just exploded with milk and took a while for them to stop leaking with my second it they got the hang of it quicker and even faster with my third if that makes any sense?! So maybe your boobs just know when and what to do
