Does Colostrum leaking only occur in pregnancies?

Question

i just had a miscarriage like three months ago, and i,m not sure if i,m pregnant, colostrum is coming out of my breast, and i,m worried that i might be pregnant again,

Answer 1

colostrum usually is released before the breast milk kicks in. It's most common right before and directly after giving birth. I think you should bring it up with your obgyn she would be able to tell you best. Are you 100% sure it's colstrum and not some other form of leakage. Colustrum doesn't leak when you begin pregnancy, as far as i know, boobs gets tender and sore... but the milk ducts don't build up until around 20 weeks.

Answer 2

Your breasts begin to prepare for breastfeeding right away. If you were far enough along when you miscarried, you could definitely have colostrum leaking.

That being said, colostrum can leak in pregnancy too. I leaked very early w/ my daughter (can't remember when though). Thought not before the end of the first trimester, I think.

If in doubt, take a pregnancy test.

Answer 3

Honey, colostrum only comes out during the middle of a pregnancy, from around 20 weeks- I think that you should see a doctor!

EDIT: There are some medications that can cause lactation, if you are taking anything, you may need to look over the information leaflets again, but defianately see your doctor :)
