Leaking

I’ll be 3 weeks pp tomorrow and I leak quite a bit throughout the day. When my LO is nursing, the other side leaks and when it’s about feeding time they start leaking. Does it eventually stop or will I always be having wet shirts?

I always leaked on the other side use a nursing cup or Hakka to catch the milk to prevent it from wetting you or use nursing pads

I used the elvie catch cups and started my freezer stash-sometimes I would get up to an ounce of just leaks!

I leaked a lot at first but now I hardly do, I’m almost 8 weeks pp! Lots of breast pads in between feeds and use a Haakaa or collection cups (I really like the Elvie ones as they’re very comfortable) on the other breast when you’re feeding. You can then freeze that milk if you want to or use it in baths

Yeah breast pads or try the lady bug catch cups. I realized so much milk was wasting when I was nursing and my other boob had a let down so I started catching my milk with the lady bugs and I swear I got like 2 ounces. It was great! Hope it helps!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
