I was sitting on the toilet last night as u do and i happened to look down at my breasts and noticed my nipples looked wet. i squeezed them a little and this clear liquid came out. To my understanding this is colostrum. Anyhoo.. i was just wondering is it too early for them to be leaking? they have me a little worried. Has anyone els had them leak this early?
Perfectly normal!
I had small amounts of colostrum leking from about 20 weeks with my DD, but not at all with my DS. Some people leak early, some not at all. It's all normal hun :hug:
All normal. Perhaps time to try out breastpads if it increases?
Mine are not leaking exactly but this time around I've felt a let down sensation and later discovered that the centre of my nipples has a white substance that is dry and crumbly. I've squeezed to see if anything comes out and a few tiny shiny beads will show. So, my colostrum is in too but not as flowing as yours. At least you know your supplies should be good when bub arrives, with my firstborn it took a while to come on.
thanks girls for your replies :) made me feel more at ease. Im so cluless when it comes to this pregnancy thing!! lol
yep perfectly normal, mine is worse when they get itchy and i (naughty, naughty) scratch!
Very normal and I started having colostrum at about 25 weeks.
glad to know im normal :) thanks :D
Yep i had the same thing at about 28 weeks too. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking i had dribbled on my arm. I turned on the lamp looked down noticed my nipple looked wet so i gave a little squeeze and colostrum came out i screamed in shock. Knowing it was going to happen soon but still very shocked to see it happen for the first time, my husband thought their was a intruder the way i carried on. But first pregnancy it was still weird but very normal.
I had it bout 27-28wks preg with Alyssa, i would wake up and my top would be either wet or hard cause it had leaked and dried up. Ewww. Thankfully i havent got it yet. But its normal.
I only had this happened with my 1st dd, It didn't happened at all with my 2nd, I thought that was strange as I was expecting it :)
