Firstly I'm sorry if this is TMI...

I will be 24 weeks tomorrow and have just noticed today that my boobs are leaking
I knew that this was going to happen, just not that it would happen now!!
I guess what I want to know is... is this going to continue for the next however many weeks? Is it good stuff the baby needs or are my boobs just 'practicing'?
When does this normally start??

LOL.  Yep, completely normal and a great sign.

I didn't actually stop lactating between Michaela and this bub except for about a month when I was constantly throwing up.  Now (for probably about the past 5wks) I can lactate on cue again.

Yep, your body will continue to produce colostrum until post-birth hormonal changes occur which signal to the body it's time to make milk.

I had colostrum from about 25 weeks come and go. I had it after the birth then milk started to come in on day five then dried up on day six    I was surprised when it started so early but I understand it's quite normal and wont effect your supply afterwards, I was just unlucky.
