I was the exact same as Pooklet, hahaha. Mine never leak on their own, but if I squeeze at the nipple it comes out.

Mine has never leaked either while pregnant first time or this pregnancy. It's normal either way. They will most likely leak tho after you have the baby. Mine did, a lot! Stock up on those breast pads too! As previously said, if you squeeze them, some will come out. You typically don't produce a lot anyway while pregnant. After you deliver, they really swell up full and then you're able to squeeze and shoot it out 4 foot in front of you at least! Lol

I'm 35+5 and the nurses asked me to squeeze and store my colostrum, I feel a bit weird about it but they also said that at first I would only get a tiny bit and that makes it very easy to miss leakages.

Im 35 weeks and don't leak either. However if i do give them a squeeze, some does come out. I chased my fiancee around the house one day trying to show him..lol.. he was a lil grossed out.I was too, so I don't squeeze them anymore.

You also may not notice if your bra absorbs it. It's not a lot that leaks.
