When does colostrum start?

It's been so long since my last baby I can't remember! I'm 18 weeks and keep checking, but nothing.

Mine started leaking at about 22weeks.

mine started at 5 months i think and i was thinking thatwas early but the dr said it was ok just not to push it out!

Oh that's right! I forgo you aren't supposed to force it to come out. Ok, I'll leave my boobs alone..lol.

thats okay  
I play with mine too =[

Its just so fun watching it come out!!!

I think mine started around 24 or 25 weeks.

It can start anytime during pregnancy and might not show up until birth, not everyone leaks  

I know I leaked with my son, but I dont remember at what time. I am 24 weeks now and nothing.....hopefully nothing is wrong 

I'm 29 weeks and I haven't seen anything yet. Hmmm.............

If you do not start leaking colostrum during your pregnancy, it is not a cause for concern. Not all pregnant women leak before their baby is born and it is not known to have any effect on the success or failure of a mother nursing her newborn.

good to know not everyone starts leaking before the birth of their baby. i'm at 29wks going on 30 and haven't leaked yet. (not that i'm complaining) but at times i do worry why i'm not and that i may not be able to breastfeed my baby when he does get here. after watching birthing shows on TLC and all, i notice that it can happen anytime during pregnancy or even after. but i still hope i'll be able to breastfeed.

lol me and mick play with mine i think its crazy and mick thinks its funny he squezzes sometimes just to piss me off lol

I know I shouldn't squeeze my boobs to get it to come out, but sometimes my breast are so swollen and tender I have to just to make them feel a little better.

Im almost 20 weeks, and mine have been leaking since 16 weeks.

they're constatly leaking. i wake up with dried junk all over me. it's terrible.


you're lucky that they dont.
