Leaking?

Question

I’m 19 weeks 2 days, and for the past two weeks I’ve had two leaks but they were about the size of a quarter nothing crazy, tonight though... y’all I started dripping in milk and had to hand express. It was shocking how much came out, any one else going through this? I feel like it’s SO early to be leaking this much

You can see where it was coming out of the arm hole too, i was laying on my side 😂

Answer

I wanna say that is early. But milk is milk! And that's awesome. If anything maybe you can store some and freeze it for baby. Milk can be used up to months later if frozen right

Answer

It's colostrum and very normal definitely talk to your doctor about expressing because it can cause contractions

Answer

This hasn’t happened to me but I’m curious as to what the other moms would say. Is this your first?

Answer

Girlfriend that is liquid gold!!!! Freeze it and give it to baby the first couple hours after birth. It’s so good for them! You’re so lucky to have this so early. You’ll be able to store a lot.

Answer

Don’t pump because that can cause contractions. You can put cabbage leaves in your bra and it will dry up the colostrum.

Answer

With my first I was leaking like crazy by the beginning of my first trimester and it freaked me out! Lol. My second I didn’t leak at all until baby was born.

Answer

Same for me too it started at 17 weeks and it’s been leaking ever since and I’m 19+2 as well now my OBGYN said purchase breast pads

Answer

Collect it with a haakaa.

Answer

Hand expressing is safe if your already getting discomfort. Just don’t do it for long periods of time. Potentially you could use a Hakka for collection. Same thing don’t leave it on long.

Answer

I’ve been told to just leave it alone
