I'm 17 weeks pregnant, getting big breast and sometimes I've got a dried yellow fluid on my nipples.
Is that Ok??

Yes!!! That is completely normal! I did that through several months of my pregnancy. It is your colostrum (the first milk) leaking. There is absolutely nothing wrong. Eventually if it starts leaking a lot, you might want to buy some nursing pads to wear in your bra so that it doesn't come through on your shirt. :-)

Completely and totally normal. Some women start leaking colostrum as early as 12 weeks. By the time you have the baby, you'll probably have lots of colostrum, which is wonderful if you intend to breast feed.

That is most likely colostrum - a highly concentrated milk that if you are breastfeeding, your baby will drink for the first few days before your proper milk comes in.
It's normal to leak it in pregnancy. But with all things, if you're worried get it checked out by a doctor and they'll be able to reassure you.

If this is your first baby it is early but not abnormal, you will have a great milk supply for your baby. But if this is not your first it is quite normal to get colostrum very early on. Hope all goes well for the rest of your pregnancy and being a parent, it is hard work (I have three) but worth every pain and effort.

Yes. It is perfectly normal. the fluid you have is called collestrum
pre milk. Which is high in amunities for baby and very important for baby after birth.

It's just your breasts getting ready for the milk.
Don't panic. And Good Luck.

Sounds normal, although maybe a little early for the collestrum (sp for sure). Tell your gyne.

it's perfectly normal. it's called collostrum and it's there so you can feed the baby it will go after the baby is born
