That's your colostrum leaking. Doesn't necessarily mean you're going into labor, but at 36 weeks, you should definitely start preparing yourself.
Pack your bag and stuff. Also, we're due the same day, you and I!

Not a sure sign that you are in labor, but it is possible that you might be soon. You are leaking colostrum, which is full of nutrients for your baby. Start pumping so that you can store and freeze this precious colostrum to give to your baby once he/she is born. Don't over do it on the pumping though because too much of it could actually put you into labor. Maybe just for 10 minutes at a time every 2 hours or so, or whenever you have a chance. Good Luck and Congratulations!

It's doesn't mean labor is about to begin. My breast started leaking at 30 weeks with my last baby and I was induced at 39 weeks.
It's just your milk supply is coming in a little early.

My son replaced into born at 34 weeks and 6 days via c-section. He spent 8 days interior the NICU specially for respiration and feeding subjects. C-section little ones are greater in all danger to have respiration subjects earlier each and every thing in basic terms via fact all the fluid wasn't squeezed out during the beginning canal. All of his issues have been in basic terms gentle issues and not something existence threatening. although, my chum had her twins at 35 weeks and the two in basic terms spent 12 hours in NICU and have been able to return abode along with her remarkable away. Your toddler would be in basic terms high quality. sturdy luck and congrats!

First- lets rule out infection- check for smells, rash, tenderness. After that, it's probably normal leakage. At this stage you are probably seeing the doctor once a week, so ask on your next visit. You may have just overstimulated them into producing milk. If you are going to breastfeed, try to keep it leakage to a minimum so you have colostrum left for baby. Also- keep them hands off to your partner- overstimulation can cause contractions! Call your doctor with any conerns- because he probably wants you to keep the baby for at least another 2 weeks.

No it doesn't mean that you are about to go into labor. The milk is just starting to build up. The milk doesn't actually come in until after you have the baby.

i would say no, you body may be overproducing milk because of hormones and some is just getting out. if you are planning to nurse i would say go ahead and pump so that it will help relieve you overfilled breast. if you pump keep the milk for your new baby because that first milk, which some doctors dont consider milk but some other nutrient filled fluid, has extra vitamins in it :)

Sorry that doesn't really mean that baby is on it's way it is your body getting ready for the baby though. Either that or your milk supply was built to high up so it has to release some. Hope this helps. CONGRATS and goodluck

You are leaking colostrum, perfectly normal and sadly not a sign of iminent labor.
Good luck
