Do boobs need to start leaking while pregnant to successfully breastfeed?

Question

Hi this is my first baby and I really want to be able to breastfeed. Im currently 29 weeks and have not experienced any leaky boobs? Is this normal?

Leaking or not leaking isn’t an indication of your ability to breastfeed. I never leaked and I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding for almost 5 months.
