Dont worry, i didnt leak at all with my first born. And i had plenty of milk. And as soon as i gave birth i was able to breastfeed. Im 38w 3d into this pregnancy and havent leaked either.

I never leaked before my son was born, not once. The moment he was born I brought him to my breast and nursed him, colostrum was expressed immediately as soon as he latched. It was plenty to fill his tiny tummy until my full milk supply came in at three days postpartum, after which I nursed him.for two full years.
Lots of people don't leak before birth, especially in first pregnancies. It has absolutely no bearing on your ability to breastfeed.

Its ok. For thw first couple days after birth you will have colostrum which is clear to yellowy color and then your milk will come in. Before the baby is born anything that may leak is the colostrum anyways. Youll still be able to breastfeed. Colostrum they call it liquid gold due to all the nutrients in it and the yellow color. :)
