Its totally normal hun and a great sign that you should have no problems with milk production and breast feeding.

ANYTHING is normal as far as leaking! Some women leak very early on. Others NEVER leak but breastfeed w/o problems. Most leak in the third trimester.
Sounds like you are leaking colostrum.

With every pregnancy different things can happen some of my patients come in with leaking even in the 3rd month. The more nipple stimulation such as hot water directly on the nipple can cause leaking. I would not let the shower directly hit your breasts. If you have questions make sure to ASK! Your ob is there for just that! Good Luck and Congrats!

Everyone is different, I have known some people to leak in their fifth month and some in their last. I even had a best friend to leak in her third as I did not leak at all. It may be colostrom but it sounds like milk to me. Talk to your doctor, but I can assure you that everything is okay. Just wear nursing pads while it is leaking. By the way it may leak till the end there is no way of telling.

Don't worry everything is fine, I'm not 27 weeks pregnant but I started to leak colostrum at 21 weeks and it freaked me right out until I went to my doctor who said this was perfectly normal.
So don't worry and congratulations your almost there

It is possible to leak colostrum early, I've read this before.
It hasn't necessarily happened to me before though and I am a mother but everybodies body is different. Be sure to get prenatal care and ask your doctor. But, I'm pretty sure this is fairly normal.

NORMAL.
I was about 22/23 weeks gone when I first noticed I was leaking- I woke up and my chest felt damp, so I looked and noticed I was oozing a strange liquid.
I don't know what you have read, but the things I read said it could happen any time, so I wasn't overly concerned about it.
But, don't worry. It's not the only strange trick your body's ever going to do during your pregnancy. My advice, expect the unexpected.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Yup. I started leaking at about 22 weeks. It's normal.

No don't worry it's normal I used to have that with my first pregnancy. Every woman is different some may start to have colostrum early some may start late every "body" is different....
