No it could mean a hormonal imbalance! Get to the doc and get a blood test to see your levels.

Sorry, this is a disease condition known as galactorrhea.
Nipple discharge in women: Secretions often more alarming than dangerous
Unexpected nipple discharge doesn't often point to serious, underlying disease. But it can be scary nonetheless. Here's a look at what's behind this mysterious condition.
Most women who've breast-fed have experienced unwelcome moments of nipple discharge. But having a discharge unrelated to breast-feeding is understandably concerning.
Because your breast is a gland, secretions from your nipples aren't unusual, even for women who've never been pregnant.
Fortunately, nipple discharge usually isn't associated with cancer (malignancy). Several conditions could be responsible for the secretions. In some cases, nipple discharge does require treatment and may not go away on its own. Discover what might cause nipple discharge, and how your doctor will find and treat the underlying cause.
What is nipple discharge?
Any fluids that seep out of your nipple are referred to as nipple discharge. Your nipples have many tiny openings through which fluid can pass. In the case of the nursing mother, this fluid is breast milk. In other cases, it may look like milk but it really isn't. The fluid can differ with regard to color — from milky white to yellow, green, brown or bloody — and consistency — from thin and watery to thick and sticky.
Nipple discharge can happen in one or both nipples. It can be spontaneous — happening on its own at any time — or happen only when you squeeze your nipple or manipulate your breast in some way. Your chances of having unusual nipple discharge increase as you get older and with the number of pregnancies you've had.
If you have unusual nipple discharge, make an appointment with your doctor to have it evaluated. A visit to your doctor is especially important if you also notice breast changes, such as a new lump or skin changes. This will help your doctor identify the root of the problem.

I have had three children and I never had milk come in until after I gave birth. Even then it took 2 to 3 days for actual milk to come after colostrum. Other than the answers here, I have never even heard of a person having their milk come in before they gave birth.

No.
Milk doesn't even come in until the 9th month - before that, it is a clear liquid.
If a white discharge is coming from your nipples, you may want to visit a doctor. It could be something way more serious than pregnancy. . .

Not always. I had a lot of milk come out after I had my 3 children.... up to 4 years later! found out it was because of Depo Prevara (birth controll shot) As soon as I stopped taking depo... my breasts stopped leaking. Although they did start again when I found out i was preggo.... take a test to be sure. that is really the only way to know. if it comes back neg.. talk to your doctor. their may me underlying conditions.

You don't get milk until the end of your pregnancy. If you are having mammary discharge, you need to see your gyn. Sometimes this is a symptom of breast cancer. Get checked.
