The reason I ask is because I'm hoping to get a better idea on how far along I am. I have 3 different due dates. May 6, June 7 and June 16. These are going by my period and by sonograms... so I am anywhere from 27 to 33 weeks pregnant. Today I noticed that if I squeeze my n*pples then colostrum drips out. How far along are you when that happens?

Trust your period dating. It will be the most accurate.
My ultrasound date was off by about 2 weeks and my period date was spot on.
Every woman starts producing colostrum at different times... so, go with your instincts.

Many mothers begin to leak colostrum (sometimes called premilk) while they're pregnant, typically sometime in the third trimester. Other expectant moms don't. Either way, it's normal
I had that during my 8th month. I do not advice you to squeeze your breasts too much, it could cause you to get contractions and lead to an early labor. I remember reading articles about this, if I find one I will post it later.
I’m not exactly sure how you can be a month off on your due date. the sonograms measure the growth of the fetus, they won’t tell the exact date, rather how the baby is developing compared to collected data. Here is a link that could help you in figuring out your due date http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/gettingpregnant/l/blpregcalc.htm I used it during my pregnancy and was due by it. You type in the first day of your last period.

Colostrum is produced during the beginning of pregnancy. Quoting the source: "During pregnancy your body starts creating colostrum as your breasts prepare to nurse your unborn baby. Some women begin leaking colostrum weeks or months before delivery."

well im 33weeks and my due date is may 6 and i noticed just a few days ago my first colstrum leak. however they say when you begin to leak is different for everyone. some women never leak until they actually have the baby so i would talk to your doctor again to get a better ideal on your due date there should be no reason for three different due dates so wide spread as yours are. usually you get one due date and then when it comes and go they tell you another week or two but yours are outrageously far apart if you ask me.

I didn't start leaking colostrum until my son was born. That I noticed anyway.

I noticed at 22 weeks with my last pregnancy.

I was around 7 months I think. But that was with my first child. With my second, my breast milk didn't even come til after her birth.
