I started leaking colostrum early at 21 weeks and sometimes now at 32 weeks I need to wear breast pads!

Real milk doesn't usually come in until a few days after birth. If its colostrum you are thinking of it varies. With my first pregnancy I didn't leak prior to baby. With my second it was like a week or two before delivery and with my recent pregnancy I was 23 weeks pregnant but with this last pregnancy my breasts didn't get any larger until after delivery.

Not until the night my son was born, and he was 39w5d.  It does not inevitably happen that the breasts produce milk early.  The bod is built to produce milk when it is needed.

I had my first son at 38 weeks and I didn't produce milk until after I had him. And I'm currently 36 weeks and 5 days and still haven't started producing yet. Don't worry it will come. :)
