Just wondering about breats leaking?

I'm 38+5wks and I do recall my cousin leaking from her breasts quite a bit at this point. I have not leaked a single drop. I'm wondering...is this any indicator of my breast milk production? Will I have troubles? Thank you for your answers:)

    I'm on pregnancy number three, and have never leaked with any of them. I successfully breastfed my two previous children for 12 months and 13 months respectively (also without leaking).

    Some people leak, some don't. It's not an indicator of production in any way.

    Makes no difference at all.

    Some women leak a lot of colostrum during pregnancy. Some women don't leak any. Also keep in mind that what looks like a lot of colostrum when it leaks onto a pad is really only a few drops. Colostrum IS made in very small amounts.

    When baby is born, he will nurse and he will get colostrum. A few days later, your milk will come in and he'll get plenty of that.
