wondering if any other breastfeeding moms had this during pregnancy

mernie · Nov 27th, 2008, 04:50 AM

I intend to breastfeed our little ladybug once she's here. Around 22-23 weeks I started leaking colostrum, thing is, there's always alot coming out of the left one and just a few droplets coming out of the right one. My main question is will this affect my ability to breastfeed? Did it happen to anybody else and maybe it'll just go away once baby is here? sorry to be a bother but its something I've been worried about the past couple days as I would be crushed if I weren't able to breastfeed

I had quite alot of colostrum during pregnancy, not always an even amount from each breast and I've been breastfeeding for just over a month without a problem.

I know women who haven't had any colostrum in pregnancy who've been breastfeeding fine too. - I don't think how your breasts are during pregnancy is an indicator to how much milk you'll produce or how well you'll be able to feed. I'm sure you'll be fine

I didn't leak at all during pregnancy and I have had no problems breastfeeding for nearly 3 months now. Am sure you'll be fine xx

I was told that it makes no difference whether or not you leak during pregnancy. It bears no relation to your ability to breast feed. x
