your nips are waking up ladies, your nipples produce a clear oily substance to keep them moist, and soft.
I noticed this when i was in first tri, initially it was crusty but as your hormones settle you produce a sufficient amount which will go relatively un-noticed until your milk production starts.
Nothing to worry about though, and if any other ladies have better info please fill us in, i got my info from my MW.
