Leaking????..........

bambikate · Sep 18th, 2008, 15:59 PM

Hi girls,

Just wondering when / if your nipples started leaking with your first pregnancy? Sorry if TMI... I'm 29 weeks and I'm not 100% sure but I think mine started this morning?! I was getting ready about ten mins after a shower and looked down and there was like a bead of clear fluid on my left nipple (nothing on the other one!) It was a little bit sticky???? Is it supposed to be clear at first? I squeezed it gently to see if thats actually where it came from (and that it wasn't some hair product or something

and some more came out!!! Sorry to sound dense....

Does this meane my boobs starting to get ready????

Mine didnt leak with my first until the day my milk came in. I think everyone's different. I seem to remember it being clear to start with. x

Mine leaked at about 32/33 weeks but my mates started leaking at about 28 weeks. As Mervs Mum said everyone it different. Nothing to worry about anyways.

mine started ages ago I think at about 30 ish weeks, mine was cloudy at first and now its got a bit clearer.

Just wait till ya sat there and randomly get a wet patch on ya top.

I think mine kicked in earlier than I expected, but then again I was on the contraception injection a few years ago and I had a reaction to that which made my boobs produce milk... so think I have pints of the stuff already xx

mine started really early, bout 18 weeks or so!! its kinda clear, but occasionally has a yellowish tint, which apparently colostrum is when you start feeding!

Mine was sort of clear, a little cloudy.
