Lactating? Posted: 12-04-07 01:34am
I was taking a shower and when I get out,
I usually just run around naked for
awhile. I was kinda being bored and
started playing with my nipples. I ended
up squeezing one, and a clear liquid
dripped out. It turns out that both do it,
and the more I do it, the more that comes
out.
I was wondering if it's my colostrum, and
if so, why is it clear? I always thought
it would start white and stay white.
This is my first pregnancy and I'm 21wks
along, since everyone always asks

It is your colostrum, & it's normal to
be clear up until a few days after you
have your baby- then, it may turn into a
creamy white. If your colostrum begins
leaking without you applying pressure to
your nipple(s), you may consider wearing
breast pads... much more comfortable than
wet bras!!

Yep, it's colostrum. Mine started leaking
around 18 weeks. It was clear at first.
Now, it's sometimes clearish, sometimes
clearish white, sometimes yellowish and
sometimes milky looking. For me, I leak a
bit more easily at the end (I'm about 39
weeks now), but still not enough to
warrant breast pads. Mostly I leak in the
shower and at night while I'm asleep.
