Leaking?

[luciddreamer]

Just curious... Did your breasts leak before giving birth or if you're still pregnant are they leaking now? Both sides have leaked a tiny bit, but only enough that I notice it dried in my bra. But, Yesterday though, I was even able to hand express a tiny bit. Weird. I'm not concerned or anything, it's just something I wasn't expecting to happen already.

I had a fair amount of leakage before baby and could also hand express small amounts of colostrum. In a breastfeeding class I took, we were encouraged to practice hand expression (as long as you aren't on pelvic rest) to get a sense of the motion.

I have a little bit, but only if I actually touch my nipple. As soon as I give it the lightest pressure though, some comes out. I haven't tried hand expressing

I can hand express colostrum as well.

Thanks, ladies. I guess it's not that unusual. I think my pregnancy apps and book should mention this. Haha
