is it normal to leak clear liquid from my breasts at 23 weeks?

the daddy to be thinks its cute and often wants to play with them, but im worried my milk will come in faster if he does, and then there will be none for the baby when he gets out.

is it normal to leak so early? i check all my books and they dont help. so should i let the daddy pay with them or will it only make things worse?

It's completely normal. I am 35 weeks and I am still leaking some. Your actually milk won't come in until a few days after you give birth. So no worries on that one. Then your breasts will begin to make enough milk to feed your little one. Or so my books have told me.

I am like 17 weeks an it is happening to me an I was a lil nervouse cause I had no clue what was going on an I was a lil scared but that makes me a lil relieved. Does it get really bad though. Cause I am only having like a few little spots in my bra and it's not alot but will more start coming out later or does it stay about the same?

I started leaking at 18 weeks, and I'm 24 weeks now. So far, it hasn't gotten worse though I anticipate it will as delivery approaches. It's not enough yet for me to use breast pads, just a few drops at a time that is absorbed by my bra. I have some breast pads on hand just in case in the meantime.

ok So is it gonna get worse by little or like just all of a sudden be really bad. I mean it has kinda stopped but it still does it time to time but only enough for my bra to soak it up. I don't know if I should expect it to just go crazy or if it gets a lil heavies as times goes on.

It all depends on the individual, really. There are breast pads in the baby section of most grocery stores. You can put them in your bra and it won't leak through. Kind of like Pads, but for your boobs. Smile

If you plan on breast feeding at all, these are a very necessary item to have.

don't stress it. My breasts started leaking with my first child at around 24 weeks, and with this one, at 18 weeks. SO it's COMPLETELY normal! Smile

It's normal, and nothing to stress about, actually I felt like having my hubby play with them was great beacause it takes away some of the pounding pain and it made it easier for me to start breast feeding because I was able to relax those mammory glands easier.
