That is not breast milk, it is colostrum. Breast milk will not come in until after baby has suckled for a few days.

This can be normal in a second pregnancy. You might want to invest in some breast pads. Also, bring it up with your doctor at your next appointment if you are concerned.

You will have a little discharge, but it shouldn't be "pouring" out. More of a minor "leak" is normal. You didn't have as much of an issue on your first because at this point in your first pregnancy your breasts were still developing and had never produced milk or colostrum before. Now that it's "old hat" for your breasts, it's pretty common to have more fluid coming from your breasts on a second pregnancy.
