I'm currently 32 wks 3 days and I don't think I've produce any milk since becoming pregnant. With my first son I already had production of milk because my breasts were swollen and leaking. Is this normal?

Yah, every pregnancy is different. I was leaking like a faucet w my first, my second I didn't and with this one if I squeeze it, it will come out. I know gross, but I can't help it.

You don't produce any milk in pregnancy.  Your milk won't come in until after you give birth.

Each pregnancy is different.  I leaked a lot in my 1st pregnancy and 3rd pregnancy, but didn't leak at all in my 2nd.  I've leaked a little in my 4th, and my now 5th pregnancy.

It has no bearing on your ability to breastfeed after you give birth.

Your producing Colostrum... It is the baby's first food! It is full of nutrients that helps give the baby's immune system a boost! You begin to produce milk a couple days after baby is born.

I hope so. I am only 25 weeks but everyone in my due date club on another board is having to wear breast pads already but I haven't yet. Makes me worried about not being able to BF.

In my mind it's in a different catagory.  You do not produce mature milk in pregnancy unless you're still nursing another baby.
