Im 6 months along and noticed thoda discharge already, got a bit surprised honestly. Didnt expect this so early na. When does the milk thing usually start? curious to know others timing.
I only noticed a tiny bit of leaking around my 8th month. I was keeping up with my light walks and doctor-approved yoga, which kept me relaxed. Don't worry if you don't leak at all during pregnancy, it's totally normal and doesn't affect your milk supply later.
Honestly, I was so busy dealing with my severe vomiting that I didn't even notice my breasts changing much until late in my third trimester. Some moms leak early, and some don't start until 2-3 days after delivery. Both are completely normal, so don't stress!
Usually, actual lactation starts only after the baby is born, though some might see a few drops of yellow colostrum in the third trimester. My mother-in-law told me to eat garlic and methi to help, but my doctor said the body naturally adjusts. Don't worry, it happens in its own time.
I'm currently planning my pregnancy and was just wondering about this too! Is it true that some women start leaking milk even before the baby is born? It sounds so fascinating and slightly scary at the same time!
