That sound like colostrum. It's normal, just don't squeeze it out.

That is colostrum, it is premilk. It may appear yellowish or even white. It is a highfat, high sugar and high nutrition liquid that is designed to give the baby a boost in the first days. Real milk will come in 3-5 days after the baby is born. Just don't spend too much time expressing it (squeexing it out of your nipples), that stimulation can cause contractions.

I had that too when I was about 6 months pregnant. This means your body is preparing for the milk once your baby arrives. The yellowish/clear liquid that comes out on the first few days after your baby arrives is called colostrum.

Since this is in the pregnancy section I'm assuming you're pregnant.
During pregnancy your body starts making colostrum, a thin clearish liquid. Its got mega anti-bodies, really healthy and what your baby will get (if you breastfeed) for the first couple of days until your milk comes in.
Some women get it early and it may leak some. Others won't notice it until around/after birth.
If you are not pregnant I have heard of other medical conditions causing this.
Best of luck!

It's not clear water. Its colostrum. Its the vitamins and nutrients for your baby. Once you deliver you will have that for a few days and then your milk will come in.

I take it that you just gave birth not too long ago or you are getting ready to!? That clear liquid is actually full of nutrients that your baby needs. Your milk will settle in in about a week or so. Don't worry about it, it's natural. Congrats!!

This is normal. Colostrum is often formed and expressed during pregnancy. It means your breasts are getting ready for childbirth and the ability to breastfeed.

That is not water; it is colostrum, the precursor to milk. Your breasts are simply responding to the hormones in your system.

This happens when you are pregnant, it's colostrum. Your breasts are getting ready for the baby. This is completely normal.
