Nipples leaking but clear?

[redandyellowandpinkandgreen]

I have noticed my nipples leaking ever so slightly like a clear liquid, doesn't look like milk at all. I am nearly 25 weeks. Has anyone else had this?

[Jojay]

Yes, I remember having this. It's nothing to worry about.

It is quite normal, and is the start of colostrum. You might notice it is more plentiful after sex, too. Towards the later stages of pregnancy, it might turn yellowy or orange. When the baby is born, she/he will feed and receive the colostrum until around day 3, when your milk will come in. (Assuming you plan to breastfeed. If not, your milk will still come in, but then your breasts will get the message that they aren't needed and it will dissipate).

Normal normal normal!

We're not cows and our milk does have different components. If you ever express breastmilk and leave it to settle out it's amazing how it separates into creamy and watery bits. The milk we buy from the supermarket is homogenised so that doesn't happen anyway.

DP mocks me for having crusty nips in the morning. It's so attractive

I remember this happening at a business meeting.
It was a roasting day and I had to keep my suit jacket on cos my top was soaked.
Everyone kept asking if I was hot, and did I want to take my jacket off! I was sweltering, but claimed that I was fine!

Yup. Mine leak clear, white, orange and yellow (disturbingly bright) from different "holes". It's like being one of those dispensers that does different flavoured pop.
