I didn't leak when pregnant with Kiya until about 28 weeks. I didn't leak when pregnant with Josiah at all. I don't know what to expect this time! but I'm not worried either way - now that I've had both happen I know anything goes!

I haven't leaked at all, it's one of those things that varies from woman to woman, and if you aren't leaking yet (as the other ladies have testified to) it doesn't mean you won't be able to breastfeed.

My boobies didn't even grow! 
I did get leakage, though, from about 30 weeks. I breastfed for 10 months.

I started leaking about 30 weeks with Maya. Had far too much milk in the end and ended up with mastitis...

I didn't have any leakage at all and barely any colostrum when Hannah was born.... milk came in on day 3 and I breastfed for 13.5 months - no worries!
So don't worry about your milk, if all else fails, stimulation from babe once he/she is here brings it in.

I think hormones from labour (oxytocin?) help as well... (correct me if I am wrong)

I think everyone has covered it really...i've heard of some leaking early and some not all...as with everything else in pregnancy it varies from woman to woman. You will be totally fine!

I feel the opposite. Mine started leaking early, around 14 weeks, but my milk didn't come in for about 5 days after I had Mason. Maybe TMI, but have you tried gently squeezing them to see if any comes out? It's probably there, just not leaking as such.
