I had the same problem when I was pregnant. I would wear nursing pads to bed. What it looks like is normal. Sometimes it will look clean and a little milkyish and then when you get closer to the end of your pregnancy it will start to look yellow. The yellow milk (aka liquid gold) is the colostrum which is what the baby will get for the first few days after he/she is born. This has tons of nutrients and is the best part of the milk for the baby which is why they get it right after coming into the world! :-) Don't worry at all. Your fine!

This is very normal and you may notice it more if you are around a newborn crying child believe it or not. It starts off looking very thin like watered down skim milk and in my case it had a SLIGHT bluish tint to it which my OB-GYN said was absolutely normal. If you are going to start wearing leak proof pads be very careful because sometimes they tend to stick to your skin if you leave them on too long and the milk dries up. As you get closer to your due date and you feel that your breasts are filling up more and are causing you pain, take a very warm shower and let the water run down your back for a few minutes and you will see that some of the milk will release on its own and it will give you alot of release. If you do not plan on breastfeeding at all, this is what you will have to do until you completely dry up because they no longer give out those pills to dry up your breasts the way they used to years ago. Warm wash clothes help as well along with Tylenol, Aleve, or Motrin. All of this information is coming from a mother of two (8 and 12 years old) so I am talking with some experience. Hope this helps.

Mine satarted leaking at about 5 months also, I thought it was way too early but it wasn't. Then they stopped leaking and I was worried I'd not have any milk for my baby. I have a happy healthy, thriving 4 month old baby who I've been feeding since the day she was born. Goodluck with the pregnancy, birth and ever after....

Normal...kinda like really really watery skim milk. Get some disposable and some washable bra pads...their kept in the infant department. To avoid any embarrassment start using them when you go to work etc...just don't use the disposable ones all the time, they have a water proof liner and won't let you breathe. Congrats and good luck...

That's perfectly normal. You will need to get some nursing pads and start putting them in your bra or you'll end up with wet patches on your shirts and that gets embarrassing.
After the baby is born you will start to leak when he/she starts to cry too so be warned.

It's a clear liquid but it stains yellow when it gets on clothing. I "heard" it doesnt taste too great either.

That's perfectly normal, your breasts are preparing to feed your baby...As you progress in your pregnancy, it will become more and more milk like. I wouldn't worry, unless it hurts or becomes reddish in color.
