I Have a Leaky... Posted: 04-17-07 14:30pm
...boob!! I am only 22 weeks pregnant.
Is it normal to start leaking so soon?
There has been a little bit of blood in
the discharge, is that something I should
be worried about? My next doctors
appointment isn't until next week, but
this is definitely something I'll be
asking about. I just thought I would get
some of your experiences and opinions
first.

Hmm... I don't know if the blood is
normal, but i know some women can leak
colostrom while pregnant. I would
definitely ask your doctor about it
though.

i didnt start leaking until like 25 or 27
weeks or something like that i think
i know some people who started leaking
right away though, so its not unusual
but if it were me i would call the doc and
just ask about the blood, that doesnt
sound good to me, it may be normal but i
think it would scare me a little

i think its common both ways, i know a lot
of people who have, and i know a lot of
people who dont, sometimes it doesnt start
until after you have the baby, it all
depends on your body

I didn't leak at all with my pregnancy. I
didn't leak until a few days later. Don't
worry if you're not leaking, actually be
thankful that you don't have to mess with
it yet!!
As for the blood, ask your dr!

I started leaking at 24 weeks. It's
normal.
The blood, though, isn't. Are you trying
to force the fluid out? If so, too much
aggravation could cause the nipple itself
to bleed. and you're confusing it for
blood in the fluid.
Just a thought!

Thanks for all of your responses. I will
definitely talk to my doc about the blood.
No, I haven't been trying to force
anything out. I just noticed that there
was a little bit of dried blood on my
nipple. It wasn't a lot, but enough to be
noticeable.
