    Nipple Leakage!

    I'm 28 weeks 3 days and last night I noticed a little bit of dried liquid on my nipple. So I gave it a squeeze and clear fluid came out. only the tiniest tiniest amount.

    I showed DH and he is officially grossed out!

    It's official, the dairy has started production!

    This is my first bub, is it normal to be leaking this early?

    I've been leaking for weeks now. I don't know exactly when it started because it took me a while to figure out what all the 'crusty bits' were that I was finding on my nipples and in my bra...I was being a bit slow. But it would have started sometime between 16 and 20 weeks.

    Perfectly normal. I was leaking early with this bub too! To the point I wasn't prepared and ended up using a panty liner as a breast pad as I was leaking so bad i had marks on my top as I was walking out the door!

    I've been leaking since week 16! And now Im starting to get a yellowy egg yolk liquid coming out. It drips when it feels like it and when I squeeze I get about half a tablespoon full of clear + yellow liquid!
    ..Totally normal

    Thanks ladies...

    I didn't realise it could start so early before you give birth.

    Looking forward to the "yellow egg yolk liquid" days Poopie!!!

    Ah, the joys of pregnancy!

    Very normal,

    I start leaking around 13 weeks, and this time i could feel the glands opening up too.

    I would take it as a good sign that your body will be very prepared once bub arrives.

    I know I have an absolute abundance and could probably feed twins right now!!

    Just wait til you wake in the middle of the night wet, leaking and its cold! haha it has happened to me for weeks now. I generally sleep with no top on, so its worse! I leaked while cuddling DH one night, to his surprise he thought something was crawling down his back!

    He is totally grossed out by it, and it freaked him out.....this is our second child together, so he should know what to expect, but it was hilarious!
