Q: breasts leaking ?

Lately, my breasts have been leaking, but normally not enough to notice until i have a shower and go to clean them, but today, theyve been leaking alot, is this normal at 35 weeks? Could it have been made worse by stress? And are there any special things i now need to do to keep them hygenic?

actually it would probably be less with stress, i know when your breastfeeding if your calm you make more milk and have a better let down whereas if your stressed you make less and have a less senstitve let down

that being said, yes it is normal and the only thing you should do is rinse them in the shower (many times even soap makes them worse, dry irritated etc)

try using some breast pads to stop it soaking your clothes/underwear and just keep them clean and dry. It's perfectly normal!

it can happen in late pregnancy, it's colostrum (the substance you produce before breast milk). Some women get it in pregnancy, some don't - all perfectly normal!
