Having milk, leaking milk

[WifeofAnt]

Hiya! I'm 19 weeks pregnant now and hubby is pretty sure I have some early milk already. I think the words he used were that it was "sweet" but "weird". I'm just frustrated because I can't get any! No amount of massaging or squeezing is even getting a drop. I wanna see it... Does this mean since I can't get any now (and its been there for about 3 weeks) that I won't leak? Or is that just some misguided hope/fear and I'll probably end up soaking shirts in no time?

Of course it seems obvious that if he can get it and I'm not even 'halfway done' being pregnant there's going to be something there when I give birth but are there women who just don't leak and can't hand express up until the very end? I hope I don't leak but I'd like to see some kind of proof before I actually have to use them.

I started leaking colostrum at 20 weeks or so. It was never a lot, just a couple of drops at a time, and it continued fairly consistently until my daughter was born.

It wasn't enough to wear nursing pads or anything, but sometimes I would put a small of piece of toilet paper or small cloth in my bra, so that it wasn't getting on my bra everyday.

I never leaked during pregnancy and went on to have massive oversupply.

I never leaked during pregnacy either, and am now dealing with slight oversupply.

I leaked at 38 weeks+ but wasn't able to hand express.

I never leaked during 41 weeks of pregnancy, went on to have oversupply and leakage and a baby in the 99th percentile for weight.
