I'm Currently Feeling:  | Extremely sore breasts
Well, I have finally started leaking properly today and they hurt like hell, I cannot even bear to touch them.
Is it supposed to be this painful? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've heard that for some women it doesn't start leaking properly until just before labour....I hope that's my case. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I've only had tiny tiny drops, no real flow of anything, so I wouldn't know about the sore boobie problem.. 
But! I reckon you must be soooooo close now, because in some case leaking or a flow of milk doesn't really start until just after the birth..
Maybe your body has sent out a hormone to produce the food for the baby that is going to arrive very very very very soon!!! Thats my theory anyway lol |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Mine started to leak quite a while ago and now they can leak bad but they don't hurt. I'm not sure if it's normal but maybe it's been caused because it's happend so suddenly where as for me it started with a little and increased over time. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Put bags of frozen veggies on them, that's supposed to help...or go take a warm shower and express them some, that should relieve the pressure..and expressing them could start some things up for you, due to the oxytocin release that they cause! Feel better! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I've been leaking since 19 weeks but starting two days ago they have been abnormally painful. I can't stand to wear a bra or have anything on them and they are really getting full. I've been hand expressing a bit out during my shower which helps for a little bit but i need my little guy to get here so I can get these bad boys emptied!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yeah Aqua do what pitbull said. You're sore because you're getting engorged. Expressing helps the uterus contract. So if you're very sore give it a go it could help you out  |
