Question

I am 5 months and 3 weeks prego (with twins), I am leaking fluid from my boobs. my next appointment isn't for 2 weeks so I want to know is this normal if so what color should it be? any other tips would help!

Answer 1

Totally normal. It seems to happen at varying times for women, so like most things with pregnancy it's hard to judge for yourself whether it's normal when a book says one thing and you're experiencing another.

"The fluid is colostrum and is yellow to orange in color and thick and sticky. It is low in fat, and high in carbohydrates, protein, and antibodies to help keep your baby healthy. Easy to digest, and is therefore the perfect first food for your baby. It is low in volume (measurable in teaspoons rather than ounces), but high in concentrated nutrition for the newborn. Colostrum has a laxative effect on the baby, helping him pass his early stools, which aids in the excretion of excess bilirubin and helps prevent jaundice."


Once you've been breastfeeding (if you are or will) your actual milk supply will begin to come in, until then Colostrum is a wonderful start for your newborn(s!!)

Answer 2

It's normal. I am 22 weeks and just started noticing the same thing. You should have clear fluid leaking. If it's discolored you should let your doctor know about it.

Answer 3

it's normal. they should be leaking a yellow to brown color fluid. but if you have any questions you can always call your Dr. office and ask a nurse if you don't want to wait two weeks. to see your Dr.
