Q: Breasts leaking fluid

asked by: StacyHoll on April 23rd, 2008

Is it normal to be leaking this early.. Could I be further along.. I noticed that I have clear discharge coming from my nipples for the past week. It drys white comes out clear.. Is it milk? Does this happen to everyone? DOes it mean that I wont have to worry about getting milk after the baby is born.. It's just a little bit.. I wonder if over time more will come out as the weeks go.. Its about a teaspoon per day only from one nipple. The other is normal. I looked on other sites usually the milk comes after the baby...

its not milk, thats colostrum and its perfectly normal, and it doesnt have any thing to do with your milk, its just "early milk"

i advise investing in some breast pads now so if it gets bad you wont have to worry later Smile

I started leaking around that time. Everyone's different. Some women do start early.
