I never leaked either and had a great supply!  If you are worried about "wasting" it you can collect it and freeze it.  But I would feel a little funny bringing my frozen supply to the hospital with everything else.

 

I can definately get stuff out if I squeeze them.

i only ever leaked at night or when in the shower. started around 20 weeks and i have a great supply but of course that doesnt mean you wont have a good supply if you havent been leaking.

If you mean you would notice the leaking, I'm afraid the answer is no. It comes out at body temp so by the time you realise it has cooled down, which means you already have big wet circles on your top......such an attractive look After baby is born and you get let down then normally you can feel it come out as it's kinda tingly (or was for me anyway).

whitewave I think I remember reading about expecting colostrum a couple of weeks ago in my pregnancy book so maybe 36ish weeks?
You could try giving your boobs a squeeze and see if something comes out, or before your shower have a look at the nipple and see if anything has dried on it, you might be leaking but just not enough for it to be hugely noticeable. I do also remember reading that not leaking in pregnancy doesn't actually mean anything supply wise post birth. ]]> Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:15:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23248&PID=573786&title=colostrum#573786 <![CDATA[colostrum : Not too sure Jen, but I have noticed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23248&PID=573778&title=colostrum#573778 Author: mummyofprinces

Not too sure Jen, but I have noticed some liquid bubbling out.. probably about 10 days or so ago. The last couple of days I have had small leaks... not enought to wet through, but went and bought some breast pads today just in case... thought I might keep a shirt at work too cos I dont feel it happening.

I would assume if it was more plentiful I would notice it????]]> Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:01:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23248&PID=573778&title=colostrum#573778 <![CDATA[colostrum : Okay, so when is it &#034;normal&#034;...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23248&PID=573769&title=colostrum#573769 Author: whitewave

Don't feel silly monikah I was wondering exactly the same thing - and so was my dh! Whenever you're wondering something there's generally at least one other person wanting to know the same thing huh!

Good to know the answer too thanks cuppatea ]]> Sat, 20 Dec 2008 16:35:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23248&PID=571211&title=colostrum#571211 <![CDATA[colostrum : No don&#039;t worry both pregnancies...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23248&PID=571165&title=colostrum#571165 Author: cuppatea

No don't worry both pregnancies my boobs have leaked early but your milk doesn't come in until the hormone changes happen post birth. Not sure if it's true or not but lots during pregnancy is suppose to be a good sign of a plentiful supply once baby arrives. I certainly had enough for the whole ward.]]> Sat, 20 Dec 2008 14:26:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23248&PID=571165&title=colostrum#571165 <![CDATA[colostrum : this may be a dum question but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23248&PID=571161&title=colostrum#571161 Author: monikah

this may be a dum question but i thought id ask anyway. my boobs have started leaking clearish fluid already which i assume is the beginnings of colostrum. does it matter how early this happens? like is my milk gonna come in too early and the baby gonna miss out on importnat nutrients or is it impossible for milk to come in until after the baby is born? im just worried that it mite be wasting valuble sorces of goodness for my baby if they start leaking quite early. anyway, some enlightenment on my possible moroness would be great
