Everything is fine. Just showing you are soon going to have a baby :) just think, you will have lots of milk for babies when they are born. Congradulations on the Twins.

Dont worry chick, I had my first baby 6 months ago and at 26 weeks mine started leaking too. My Midwife told me some people's bodies get ready for baby quicker than others so Im sure this is all it is. Do mention it at your next Midwife appointment or gie the Doctor a call but mine leaked a little then stopped and then again a few weeks later and so on so please dont worry. Congratulations and Im sooooo excited for you. Its such a great experience and I would go through it all again tomorrow. If you need to chat Discovery home and health site have forums I joined one and shared all my worries/thoughts with other mums who were due in the same month. it gave me a lot of support and still chat to them all now. Good luck and enjoy. Its sooooo special. Just get your sleep in now as I sooo wish Id appreciated a full nights sleep before I had my little girl. xxxx

I started leaking early in my pregnancy as well. At first I would express it to get rid of it, but was told that it will start premature labor, so I bought some pads and placed in my bra, there was really nothing else I could to stop it. Oh! and turn the temperature down on your showers, hot water tends to relax the muscles around the breast and allows the milk to flow more....Good Luck, hope it helps you a little:-)

Quite normal for colostrum to leak out of the breast anytime after about 16 weeks.

in case you're pregnant, then you certainly could desire to have the potential to particular slightly fluid from the breast from around 7 one million/2 months. that's totally commonly used, and in case you have breast fed in the previous, this could are available in even till now in the being pregnant. this could be a almost sparkling to slightly yellowish liquid it is thicker than milk. that's colostrum, the forerunner of milk in the breast. that's what your toddler will drink for the 1st few days after beginning, till now the hormones make the genuine milk are available in. some women human beings rub down the nipples to make stronger them for breastfeeding, and that's whilst they locate out with regard to the colostrum. After the beginning, its available to be leaking once you think of of your toddler, once you pay attention the baby cry, or merely whilst its due for a feed. This settles down in some weeks, and you merely use breast pads to soak up the surplus in the recommend time.

This is perfectly normal - I'll never forget being heavily pregnant, walking through the town centre with a floaty dress on when I realised people were looking at me. When I looked down there were two dark, wet lines from my nipples to the bottom of my dress! I was leaking faster than Severn Trent Water's underground pipes - I had to go and sit in Mothercare's changing room for an hour drying out! Nice...
Why did I get a thumbs down for this answer???????????????????????????????????????

It's completely normal. Your body is preparing for your babies. Your hormone levels are probably higher because you are having twins. Call your doctor's office and speak with the nurse if you have concerns. You might want to read a book called "What to expect when you're expecting". It's a fantastic book!

is this your 2nd child? I didnt have this problem with my first, but im now pregnant with my 2nd and I knew I was pregnant because my breasts were really full feeling and they leaked. So I knew right them ( at only 1 week pregnant!) the test didnt even show positive yet! I had to wait another week and I took another, yep...Positive! I knew it!
- Good Luck, this is soooooo normal!

It never hurts to consult with your OB, but I am a mother of five and it was normal with my pregnancies. Your body is preparing to feed your babies when they are born. It is probably colostrum (pre-breast milk). It is high in antibodies and is extremely beneficial to your newborns. Try wearing a nursing bra with pads to help avoid any uncomfortable or embarrassing situations.
