I am 22 weeks pregnant and lactating, is that normal?

Question

i am 21 years old and this is my first baby. and i was wonder what you all think about it. can you relate to this or have gone through the same thing? thanx.

Answer 1

Absolutely...and it's nothing compared to what you'll leak once you start nursing and the actual milk comes in! My cousin and I both leaked during our pregnancies. Pretty noticeable spots too but if I wore the right bra it never went through the bra and shirt. I was actually sitting on the toilet when I first started leaking and I felt something cold and wet on my stomach and leg so naturally I looked up thinking the ceiling was leaking or something...lol then I realized it was my breasts! So you're fine and you'll laugh about it later if you aren't already! Congrats and best of luck!

Answer 2

You're not lactating--milk does not come in until about 3 days after the baby is born. It is normal to have a yellowish, whitish discharge though, which is colostrum--the first "milk" your baby will drink. It is packed with nutrients and immune-system boosters.

Answer 3

I had milk all the way through my last pregnancy, along with a nursing babe. It's normal to have colostrum in your breasts while you're pregnant. Some moms who have previously nursed can actually maintain a full milk supply during their entire pregnancy. The body is pretty amazing, isn't it?

Answer 4

You are normal. :-)

Actually, some moms start leaking early, some don't leak until the 3rd trimester and some never leak. Any of the above is normal and any of these moms can successfully nurse once the baby is born.

Personally, I usually started leaking right at the start of the 3rd trimester.

Answer 5

Yep. Totally normal. You are actually leaking colostrum. I leaked almost my entire pregnancy both times. Just wait until your milk comes in LOL.

Answer 6

yep, thoroughly commonly used. i became into lactating at 18weeks. y physician reported its a sturdy sign that my toddler won't bypass hungry LOL and that there is a sturdy possibility that i are in a position to bypass lower back to shape extra actual

Answer 7

Yes, it's normal. Some women lactate while their pregnant due to the overwhelming hormones. If you're concerned see your doctor.

Answer 8

That is not milk, it is called colostrum; it is what comes out when you first give birth and it is important for your baby to drink it, that way he or she doesn't get infections now or later in life. Just used a bra pad thing they sell in the stores to soak it up.
