I am 29 weeks pregnant, (25 years old) a couple of weeks ago, while checking my breast for lumps, I pressed a little bit and an oily, transparent substance came out. After a week I tried a gain and the same thing happened, its not a lot maybe a drop or two, it has no smell, no color, its kind of oily, and its only on one breast... could this be colostrum? Im a little worried there might be something wrong ..Ill ask the doctor on my next appointment, but until then, I would like some opinions please...

I would make an appointment with your doc. Every woman's pregnancy is different including yours, stop squeezing your nipples. :)
It's not unusual to start leaking colostrum @ 29 weeks, you right on target.

There's no sense worrying because you don't know what the answer is. It's great that you are going to ask your doctor. If it is really bothering you, I would ask for an appointment right away to get the load off of your mind. Good luck, and congratulations on your new baby!

Colostrum is supposed to be yellowish, and it would probably come from both nipples. I'd check with your OB/GYN to be sure everything's OK.

It's colostrum!! Don't freak...it's totally normal. Just don't make it come out or do any unnecessary nipple stimulation because this can cause your uterus to start contractions.
