Colostrum Powder

Is this normal?

Is it normal for clear liquid to leak from my nipples during pregnancy? At first, I thought it was colostrum, but I keep reading that colostrum is indeed a thick yellowish color. This susbstance is clear and rather thin in texture. I guess I'm trying to ask if colostrum can be clear and thin? BTW im 24 weeks tomorrow. thanks.

1. actually, i am 27 weeks and i just noticed this too. i dont know what it is, but im pretty sure its normal. i have a lot of friends who are pregnant right now and they are all getting it too. dont worry! good luck!
2. Its normal.
3. I leaked milk from my breast for the last ten weeks of my pregnancy and the doc didn't seem to be concerned. It is normal but I am not sure if it is normal that early. Call you doc and talk to them.
4. Yes, it's normal. Colostrum can range in colors, just like anything else:) I began leaking a little at about 28 weeks, and it was clear......actually it still is clear and I am at 38 weeks now. Don't worry, it's perfectly normal, and a great sign that your body is healthy and preparing for the big day:) Congrats:))
5. Yep! it's normal...It happened to me during both my pregnancies.. good luck with the rest of your pregnancy :-)
6. YES, with my first pregnancy I started leeking around the 5th month. This will continue through the remaining pregnancy. You will need to buy nursing pads to put in your bra. It just means your pores are bigger and if you are like me you will produce enough milk and more for your little one. This is annoying thing but a good thing too:)
7. ya it normal you have nothing to worry about
8. i don't think it would be colostrum mine was the yellow colour aswell and i didn't start leaking until i was 34 weeks i think. But its possible i guess
9. I was pregnant 8 times and never had this happen, but some women do.
10. yes it's norma the same thing happened to me.
