This is normal. I would not worry Smile I would get a good bra pad to prevent embarrassing moments though if I were you!

Congrats on the pregnancy! This is normal... it is actually not milk yet, but colostrum. You won't start making milk until a few days after you deliver the baby. Since you are having twins, you probably have a lot higher level of hormones to support the babies, so you are probably experiencing it earlier than you might with just one baby. You can get nursing pads at the store to prevent anything showing if you have a lot...there is another product called Lily Pads that are easy to use and prevent discharge...and you can also cut a pantyliner in half and put one half on each side for a more leak-proof result.
