Mine leaked during both of my pregnancies. Starting at 4 months with #1 and 5 months with #2. Just wear a light breast pad if it's getting your bra wet. It's totally normal.

Pregnancy can wreak havoc on your hormones. With all of the pregnancy changes you have experienced, who knew that you would have to deal with leaking breasts too?
Fluid can leak from your breasts throughout pregnancy. This fluid, called colostrum, is clear and tastes sweet. It is also called “pre-milk” and is your baby’s first nutrients if you decide to nurse. Your actual breast milk won’t come in until a day or two after your baby is born.
Colostrum can leak from your breasts even in early pregnancy. Most of the time, colostrum will leak at night while you are asleep, but your breasts may also leak in the middle of the day. If you have frequent leaking, so ahead and purchase some breast pads. We recommend Lanisoh® disposable nursing pads. They are very thin and you hardly notice them. Any liquid gets trapped and turns to gel, so there is no risk of leakage.

Colostrum. Very normal and very healthy for the baby. Your milk ducts are preparing to make milk. The colostrum is full of vitamins, antibodies and minerals that will fight against many illnesses and infections until the age of 2. It's like super serum. You can buy breast pads to put in your bra at night if it gets uncomfortable. BTW, make sure you wear a cotton bra to bed anyway.. you don't want saggy boobs.

Your breasts are starting to prepare for when you start breastfeeding. What was leaking out last night is called colostrum. It's like "pre-breastmilk" and it's very good for the baby.

It's just colostrum (your first milk). Very normal. Some women leak during pregnancy, others never leak. Either is normal and either mom can breastfeed just fine. Get some breast pads to wear in your bra to catch any leaks.

i read in a magazine that if you have leakage from the breasts it means that you probably are feeling yourself up or your husband/boyfriend is feeling you up too much.
no lie
but leakage can happen from the breasts anytime during the pregnancy
