Im 26 wks today and lastnight i noticed one of my nipples leaking already....its a little early...with my first i didnt leak until a week before i gave birh...i still have a while to go. It did take me a long time to dry up though. Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening already and is it bad??? |)

I started at 20 weeks. This is my first, but I have heard that with 2nd pregnancies your body tends to adjust a little earlier because it has already been through the process. Which is why some women show really early with 2nd pregnancies (or 3rd, or 4th . . . ).

ok @bluegrass_mommy that makes sense.....i wonder if that means i would b a good breastfeeder lol....i couldnt with my first bc i got extremely sick with preaclampsia and congestive heart failure and was on all kinds of meds that i couldnt risk breastfeeding with...i might try it this time..havent really
made up my mind yet.

You will be a fabulous breastfeeder! Hope everything works out for you. If you are leaking quite a bit some doctors will recommend pumping the milk out to freeze so the baby gets some breastmilk incase you aren't able to breastfeed. My doctor won't give me an opinion either way, but I have several friends that were told to do this.

My doctor said no manual pumping or making myswlf produce as its can cause leaking
