It's not too early to leak. I never leaked with my first pregnancy. I don't think it has any bearing on how well you will produce milk for your little one. I produced so much milk with my first child, the pediatrician and I joked about me being a wet nurse.
Out of curiosity, I did squeeze my nipples a little bit the other day and noticed I do have colostrum coming out. I was curious because I get the occasional crusty/waxy film on my nipples every now and then. That was my only indication of "leaking" in my first pregnancy too.
ahh yeah i was thinking it might be something like that. i felt them on both sides my boyfriend gave his input "its probably just some pregnant thing!" haha.
Don't fret about rib pain...it is very very common, though a real drag. :)
Colostrum leakage during pregnancy is also common, and I'm sure you will have a wonderful bf relationship. FWIW, I never leaked a bit of it and had plenty of milk for my son with no issues.
Somebody suggested once that to see and touch a pregnant woman's belly is a real blessing, and a life-affirming experience. I thought that was a lovely way to look at it, and I decided to not automatically get haughty and find it a gross intrusion. It certainly does seem that way when done in a greedy or insensitive way, but I have had a couple experiences when gentle, kind people touched me, and the look of joy on their face brought me happiness instead of the rage I'm "supposed" to feel.

I am in my 17th week, and I have been having colostrum crusties since 10 weeks. No leaking yet though
