22 weeks with crazie boob leakage!?

Question

Ok, so I know that it is normal to have leakage early. I started leaking at 17 weeks. Some women do, some don't and I read that it is an early sign of good milk production. However, I'm leaking A LOT! And only at night. But I wake up, and there is a small puddle of clear liquid on the sheet under my boob. Or my chest in like soaked. I go to the doc next month and I'll ask then, but did this happen to anyone else? Can you leak TOO much?! Also, I'm 5 months preggo and have gone from a C cup to a full D already.

Answer 1

Totally normal (the milk leaking and the bra size).  It's not extraordinary.

Get some nursing pads to wear at night or ...use a cut up maxi pad.  Happens to many women, no big deal.

Answer 2

Wow..you are producing early!  It's completely normal, don't worry.  It's just time for breast pads.  Wear them at all times and change them frequently.  Also, I'm 6 months pregnant and started out with a 38C and I'm now up to a 42DD...I'm terrified at how big they are going to be in the end!

Answer 3

I'm in the same boat!!  I'm 25 weeks and last night felt some thing cold on my shirt....sure enough...it has begun. lol

Then as I was cleaning the house...I felt it again!! Time for some breast pads before something embarassing happens!!  

I was a B cup and for the first time in my life, I'm up to a C....at this rate it wont be long till I grow out of that too!

Congrats and best of luck!

Answer 4

WOW! Seems like you are producing milk really really early! I dont think its anything to be worried about though, that only happened to me after I gave birth. Good luck!

Answer 5

Yup, sounds normal to me.

I've been leaking colostrum for many many weeks now, and I always wake up with little puddles.

Answer 6

I started leaking at 28 weeks.  I don't leak as much as you, but I wouldn't worry or stress too much about it.  Especially if you are planning on breastfeeding.  Maybe this means you'll have a super easy time with production.

I was a C cup and went to a D too...sometimes a DD.  Eh, don't know if that's good or bad.  My husband says it's good but ya know....

Answer 7

Everyone is different.  Some of my friends leaked while others never did.  I am 24 weeks and leaked once at 22 weeks.  Although it was a tiny amount.  Just insert breast pads into your bra if needed.  

I too went from a C cup to a full D early in my pregnancy.  They seem to have stop growing, thank goodness!

Answer 8

WOW! I would say that its normal as I have not had this but Im sure your just fine just funny huh? !!!! LOL :)

so funny My daugher was born the day after Christmas 26th of DEC. 2003 I wanted to go on xmas to be induced but they did not induce on Holidays! so I still got a xmas stocking to put her in. it was huge! she is still a xmas baby.GL

Answer 9

Yep it happens. It's a big mess and kind of a pain. But look at it this way at least you know you will have plenty of milk for your baby. Try wearing a sports bra while you sleep, this helped me. Good luck!
