Breast milk question

I have been planning on breast feeding my son. Is it possible that my milk could never come? That might sound ignorant of me but I don't know and I still have five weeks but I've been told I would start leaking by now. I just wanted to know what the chances are that it won't come. I do not want to have to formula feed!!!

You might have some colostrum come in before birth but I didn't with my 1st pregnancy. If you don't it will come in after baby is born :)

There is always a chance your milk won't come in. But I never ever leaked when I was pregnant with my son and my milk came in full force. Hope that helped =)
