This is fine and completely normal. Your breasts are changing in preparation for breast feeding. That is why they havfe grown, etc. The fluid they are leaking is not breast milk, it is called colostrum. It is high in nutrients and calories for babies. Your breast milk will come in about 3 days after the baby gets here. Until then, the baby will drink the colostrum. If you breast feed, that is.

Everything is fine.
