I leaked occasionally when pregnant last time, it's nothing to worry about, just your body preparing itself for what is to come!
I just bought washable breastpads, and wore them for the rest of the pregnancy just incase!!

I've been leaking since just before 18 weeks. Generally more at night time and in the evening, especially if I'm lying down.
Like Milis said, breast pads will sort it out.

Mine started to leak on first pregnacy at 18 weeks it used to be at its worst after a shower it would be streaming out of me. Like millis just popped in the breast pads. I seem to be escaping from it this time.

I leaked from 26 weeks, particularly at night or in the shower. Not sure if it's related but I had massive amounts if milk when Dd was born. I was expressing 6oz a go at 2 weeks!! So could be a good sign if you're planning to bf

oh lads, mine have been leaking like crazy overnight since 18wks and it's my first baba
for some reason, it's more on my right side than left - I'll wake up with just whole right side including sleeves of PJs sopping wet.. if I wear a white PJ top, it stains yellow from the colostrum

mam thinks it's all good - reckons its a good sign all the hormones are in working order and great sign of bainne if you plan on BF, so I'll take it as a positive step, but at 21wks, it's a long way to go - must investigate those washable pads, where can you buy them???

I can't remember where I bought them, it's the lansinoh ones I have. Lilypadz are reusable too.
