Colostrum Powder

How late is late pregnancy? I am 23 weeks and lately during sex my boobs have been leaking.?

this is my first pregnancy and i am 18. "what to expect when expecting" says that late in pregnancy it is normal to leak colostrum during sex. but i am only 5 months, is this late enough to be leaking the colostrum? please help!

1. It's normal, don't worry. Congratulations :]
2. no, this is perfectly normal. they say you can start leaking at around 20 weeks. Plus, the act of sex releases the hormone oxytocin. this hormone causes contractions and can cause milk let down. it also works the other way around as well (milk let down, when the baby sucks, causes uterine contractions with help tighten everything back to its normal shape after child birth). so no worries, its totally normal to leak at this point!
3. late pregnacy is third trimester. you are in the 2nd trimester so you are right on target but i was doing it at 3 months. and leaking is not the word it was squirting from me my boyfriend informed me of that i was so imbarresed. good luck with the pregnacy.
