IM 20 weeks pregnant is it normal for...?

Question

HI im 20 weeks pregnant is it normal for my nipples too be leaking a watery like subtance. or is it too early???? any one else have this experince and when did this happen too you???

Answer 1

I had the exact same thing happen to me last week, I was 19 wks then 20 wks now. It only lasted a couple of days, about 3 or 4. I guess its normal, since our bodies are going through changes to produce milk for our babies.

Answer 2

Like the early answer, yes it is very normal. It is your colostrum coming in. That is what your baby will feed on for the first few days of life until you actually let down your milk (very painful :) Don't try to express your nipples to get it out b/c it can put you into preterm labor by doing so. Just wear nursing pads if it gets extremely bad, and make sure you clean the area with water so you won't get the spoiled milk smell. (Even worse when your milk comes in)

Answer 3

I leaked really early as well. It is normal and you should start wearing nursing pads. If you plan to pump or breast feed you could start pumpming and freeze the breastmilk to get an early start. Breast milk frozen is good for a long time.

Answer 4

It is normal. I started leaking at 16 weeks. I thought that was way to early. I was scared I was going to go into labor prematurely. I didn't though and I read that it was normal for you to start leaking colostrum early or not at all. Either way is normal. Don't worry.

Answer 5

very normal. Its colosturm, your breasts make it to prepare for real milk production. usually it dosne;t leak unless you squeeze it out, but if it bugs you, go to the baby section of the store and get nursing pads, they slip in your bra and absorb anything that leaks out. Good luck!

Answer 6

yes girl its normal.

Answer 7
