I had the same problem when i was pregnant with all 3 of my children. When i was pregnant my doctor said at times this can a happen just getting you prepared for breastfeeding.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Its normal to leak but its not real milk, its the pre-milk, and its perfectly normal to leak during your pregnancy, Your milk will come in after the birth, and you'll understand that its real milk when it comes in. Your pre-milk can be an off white and still not milk. You will have the pre milk for about 10-24 hours after a natural birth and a little longer after a caesarean. our breasts will fill during pregnancy with the pre-milk containing the best anti-bodies for your newborn this is why its said you should always try to feed the first few feeds after birth and the turn to artificial if that what you want. Because the anti-bodies you produce pregnancy are so rich in goodness, the milk that comes in after birth is very nutritional but its nowhere near as good as the first few feeds.
Best wishes and good luck with your reminding weeks of pregnancy, be prepared for when your milk does come down as it can be very uncomfortable during the first few days to a week until the milk settles and only produces the amount your baby needs. Congratulations once again pregnancy is a wonderful experience. Enjoy all the pros and cons.

Yes, this is completely normal. I experienced this about a week ago, I am 27 weeks. It's this thickish yellow stuff called colostrum. It's full of many nutrients and antibodies, You'll feed your baby this for 3-4 days after birth then it will thin out to regular breast milk.When I discovered it I kinda freaked to, I didn't expect it to be so soon. it was like a little drop that came out that one time and I haven't had any leaks since, so it's probly off and on till your baby's born, BTW I hear that it leaks when you have sex too.

yes it is very normal, the stuff that is leaking is called colostrum this is the first stage of breast milk, it is mostly made of vitamins and fat for your baby. sometimes your breasts will also become sore, that is what happened to me. so don't worry, it is just a sign of its almost time.. aren't you excited? i know i was, well anyway good luck..
