Colostrum

[Indadhanu]

Souns like colostrum to me Nope you don't need to do anything, and you only really need breast pads if you find you get unexpectantly leaky while you're out. The warmness of the shower/bath might be triggering a 'letdown' reflex. I had it too, not a lot, but a little.

ohok...cool
I was worried i may need to get it out of my breasts.
Wasnt sure if it was definately colostrum. Is it normal to have it this soon before bub is born, i mean i still have 12 weeks to go??

It's normal for some people, I had it very early... well it's not ABNORMAL, it a normal function and yep it happens earlier in some people

oh thank goodness lol
was scared it may be a sign bub is going to come earlier than expected...

My fiance thinks its growse lol...when i sit there trying to sqeeze it out...he said it looks like im trying to pop a big pimple lol.

Yep its normal, I had it the first time around 14-15 weeks then frequently from 18 weeks. I made some breast pads & wore them from around 22 weeks.

Also, if you find you need to wear breast pads wuite early one, it would be worth looking into cloth rather than the disposable ones
