im almost 18 weeks pregnant, i dont really feel very pregnant because i no longer have morning sickness. and my belly is still rather flat although in the evenings i tend to get bloated so i look like im pregnant. any ways has any other woman around 17/18 weeks ever notice small amounts of fluid coming from one or both of your nipples? at first i thought i was just sweating but no there is actually fluid coming from my nipples. normal or not????

Very normal. Some women lactate later in their pregnancy some very early. This is your body preparing to nurse your child. It will become a lot. I suggest you buy some nursing pads and start wearing them. It it not fun to be out somewhere and you lactate through your bra and shirt and you have 2 wet circles in the middle of your chest. I had this happen a few times UGH
You can find disposable ones near the baby bottle section of your favorite store. They also make washable ones that you can just throw in the laundry and reuse. I was not fortunate enough to find these very easy. They are available online.
If you don't plan to nurse then I suggest you just go with disposables until your milk goes away after baby's birth. If you plan to nurse buy the washable ones and save money.
Congrats!

It is normal your body are preparing for your baby and do not worry about still having a flat belly my sister's belly was only showing on 8 months with her first child.

Very normal hun. You are lactating. Producing milk for the baby. This will happen off and on throughout your whole pregnancy

It is very normal... also very irritating! Be sure to take care of your nipples, because the wetness can make them sore. I used to give myself a little "airing out" time through the days when I was lactating.... As for abortion man, keep your murderous opinions to yourself. This is pregnancy advice, not killing advice.

Very normal. Your hormones change and your body is beginning to produce the milk that will be provided to the child for nourishment after it is born.

It is colostrum, your body produces it in preparation for breastfeeding your baby. Good Luck and Congrats on your little one.
