lactation

I am 27 yrs old and pregnant with my second child. I am 28 weeks along and by this time in my first pregnancy I was leaking (or lactating) and so far with this pregnancy I have yet to start leaking/lactating. Is this ok or normal? The baby is fine and is actively moving every day and every test and ultrasound I've had has been normal.  Could there be some other reason as to why I haven't started leaking/lactating yet?

I didn't notice any with my first pregnancy but have been leaking a bit off and on for a few months with this one (I'm 33 weeks).

Not everyone leaks colostrum every pregnancy! Dont worry, you are producing it. It a natural part of pregnancy...and every pregnancy is different!! :-)

No, every pregnancy is different in nearly every way except the fact that you're making a baby! :)
with.my first I started lactating at 28 weeks and my second at 32 weeks well I'm 31 weeks today with baby three and still nothing. I wouldn't worry about it :)
