how do you know when your milk supply comes in?

I'm nervous my milk supply won't come in and I'm choosing to bf. I know it doesn't normally come until you have the baby but are there any signs that its coming? I'm 35 weeks & 2 days. I've never had sore breast, or leakage.

I was sore in the beginning but that's it and I never leaked or anything before my daughter came.my milk came in a little less than a week after having her. Now we are weaning her at 14 months. Don't worry everything sounds fine to me :)

It will come in, do not worry. Most women have sore breasts during pregnancy but you don't have to be sore to have milk. Your body knows what to do just trust it and the milk will come.

you don't have to leak... when baby is born usually a few days later your boobs will be soooo sore and you usually get a small fever then it just happens lol
