Alright so when I was preggo with DD I didnt have any leakage or anything. Nothing happened until my milk came in a few days after her birth. With this pregnancy I have had leakage for at least 2 months now. No biggie, but just today I am starting to feel that feeling when you need to feed the baby or pump. Like you are a little full? Is this normal or am I just a freak?

I have heard of that happening to other people before so I don't think you are a freak. I would get the full feeling just days before I would deliver and had my milk in within a day or so of delivery. So I would say you are probably ok and that it is your body getting ready.

Since you've already experienced the feeling of milk let-down (MER), you may just be more sensitive to your milk ducts beginning to turn on and get ready for baby. I, personally, had leakage from 4 months onward. Now that I've breastfed, my breasts are much more sensitive during *hormonal* times of the month, and I think it may be the same with pregnancy - you're just more attuned to the feelings in your breasts, perhaps.

I didn't have anything when pregnant with DJ. He weaned in January (at 19 months...when I was 4 months preg). I started leaking again probably around April and have even had several letdowns! I'm only 33.5 weeks now, but I'm expecting the baby any day and I'm feeling full most of hte time. I think it's normal...

When I was 24 weeks pregnant with my first dd I had premature labor (they stopped it thankfully) and after that my breasts started producing more colostrum than they had before that and I felt "full" like you said...I don't know if it was related to the premature labor or if it was normal for the timing...

I felt let down during my second pregnancy very early on, I also felt it for over 2 years after weaning my DD...
