Hi all,
I've recently discovered what seems to be early signs of lactation?? Or something?
I'm only 16wks PG, and so was a little disturbed to notice that i'm frequently ending up stuck to clothing, or waking up in a wet patch on my bed (currently still sleeping on my belly).
I noticed today, after waking up with my arms a bit wet, with no idea why, that it's coming from my breasts, and after much google-time-wasting i'm able to find no information about it at all! I'm able to physically squeeze the liquid out, which i may say has eased a lot of pain in my breasts and may perhaps explain why my nipples have been so darn itchy lately, but i'm curious to know what the go is, and if there's any more info?
It's in a fairly runny, but slightly sticky consistency, and is mostly white with more translucent fluid at times also. I have ridiculously large breasts as it were, before i got pregnant, and wondered if it was perhaps an influence on this sort of physiological behavior?
I was, whilst humored, entirely embarrassed to find myself with a wet patch on my shirt earlier in the day, so I've been trying to find out any info, and anything you can volunteer would be excellent! As everything i have read, concludes that early lactation is not consistent until late third trimester.
Thanks!
