Um I really dont think your nipples should be leaking. And why would they be on schedule for every two hours? Its rare for them to start leaking before 25 weeks, ive heard of it shortly after 20 weeks, which is really rare, but ive never heard of them leaking before 20 weeks. You should talk to your doctor about that. You must be some miracle woman, with fetal movement at 13 weeks, and your what, around 15 weeks now, and your breasts are leaking colustrum already?

That is strange, it does sound like you are further along then they think. Maybe you are just having a small baby??

Wahh, i'm 25, almost 26 weeks, and I am no way near leaking!! My breasts havn't gotten any bigger, they arnt sore in any way!! Sad

if you are leaking, go buy some breast pads so you arnt leaking everywhere.

Breast pads are nice and cheap from wal-mart in the baby section thats what I buy for heather when she needs them trust me if you buy them now and end up not needing them you will later on for sure so they will get used, there like $4 for 80 pads so its not too bad

Yea, i'll go and get some late tonight. I am farther along than my lmp says, but that is only a week according to my ultrasound. So I am either 14 or 15 weeks. But no farther than that. Because of this and b/c of me feeling the baby so early, I am starting to think that I was pregnant before, which is ridiculous.

I got breast pads from walmart too... They were lasinoh or something like that... Its like 80 for $6.... I started leaking ~like actual fluid~ around 29 weeks... I had this weird stuff that would crust(but not really crust, its hard to explain, like it would settle and harden) in my nipples (tmi, I know) and I didnt know what it was until a couple weeks ago I figured it out... But that started happening around 24 weeks. Yea.. Destiny, either theres something up with you, or else your further along than they think. You ~really~ need to tell your doc about the fetal movement at 13 weeks, and that your leaking. If he says its normal, I suggest going to a dif. Doc lol...

Hhmmm!!! Well for awhile, i've noticed what is almost like "dry skin" built up on my nipples. Its almost got a yallow color to it. I take it off, and before I know it, I have it again. I thought before that it was dry skin, so I don't know. I think I have had it for a few months now though. So I don't know.

Well I just called the doc's, answering service and , a doc (not mine ,but the on call one), just called me back. I told her about the leaking, the changes in my discharge, and the baby moving. And she told me that I need to call the doc's office in the morning, and they'll call me in, so they can see me. But now I have a problem. I have a job interview for 9 am tomorrow morning and I won't be back home until 1 or 2 if I am lucky. So what should I do? Should I skip the interview and go tomorrow or go to the interview and go on wednesday. I would try to go tomorrow afternoon, but it is so crowded in the afternoon that they probably wouldn't even look at me.

Well sense its really not that serious you prolly can just tell the dr office that youll be in on wed and to expect you or set up appt or w/e but I think itd prolly be ok to just go to your interview and wait that extra day unless you think somthing is really wrong and if you are further along than they say maybe you wont be working that long anyway before you have to take a leave who knows. I just think it should be fine to wait a day for the dr cause its not life threatening to you or your baby

I started leaking at about 20 weeks too... But my sis is 35 weeks and never leaked. Theres nothing wrong if u dont leak, I heard leaking was just a sign of being able to breastfeed. But some people leak and some dont. Just wait till after the babys born and ur breasts get engorged and baby cries.... U'll soak ur shirt! Lol!

Stacey~ yup, I thought it was dry skin too! Lol this might sound kinda sick or something, but like squeeze and pull them (around your areola (sp?) and see if colustrum comes out. Lol thats what I did and I got all excited and ran and told kevin my boobs worked hehe. If you do that to see if anything comes out, it might take a bit for it to get flowing. But I do this daily now cuz I heard its a good thing to do to prep your nipples for breastfeeding. It toughens them up. Oh yea, and to rub to colustrum into and around your nipple to keep them from getting dry and cracked.

Well, in that disease (not really a disease, but I cannot think of the word) when a girl is so convinced she is pregnant that she gets all of the symptoms, they can even lactate. So, I don't see why you could not be lactating already. I mean, it isn't normal, but if a woman who is not even pregnant can lactate by convincing herself that she is then I think you can lactate this early in your pregnancy. But, let us know what the doc says!

Okay i'm back from my interview. It went good. I took a test and I got a 97, then I had my interview, and I didn't even know I was being interviewed. I thought she was just giving me a tour. But it went great.

So anyway I just called the docs office, and the receptionist told me just to wait and come for my appt. And that really pissed me off b/c I know more about medicine than this b*tch does, but she feels she can diagnose me on the phone. But i'll just wait unless I start to feel like something is wrong.

And one more thing I used to leak when I was like 13 whenever I leaned on something really hard, but I was never pregnant. But it is still not the same as now, atleast they didn't leak during my interview.

Ohh and I feel like I have gas but I don't, what could it be?

Could still be bowels shifting around, I get that too. Or could be the baby, but I can tell a difference. My bowels still move around sometimes without having gas or having to go to the bathroom, but I can tell that's not the same as the baby moving.
