Q: Lactation (same As Pregnancy Forum)

When did everyone start lactating? Last night I was changing shirts and my arm kinda rubbed over my nipple and it was sticky. Just the smallest bit of something clear and sticky was coming out. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

It's completely different for everyone.. I'm 33 weeks and so far i've only had the tiniest bit of liquid leak out of one of my boobs, and I wouldn't have noticed except it left a little white mark on my black bra. Your leaking may get worse, but it might not, it's nothing to worry about either way.

Yeah it is different for everyone... I have had leakage for some time now .. I think I was 15 weeks when I first noticed it.. It has gotten worse for me.. Mostly at night.. I tend to leak alot onto my nightshirts and when I wake up they are attached to my nipples.. It feels kinda wierd.. But its normal so I don't worry about it!

This isn't technically lacatation, since your breasts aren't making 'milk' yet. They are just practicing. What will come out the first few days is colostrum. It is full of antibodies and good fats for the baby.

It will take a few days of nursing before you start to lactate and your milk comes in.
