freeze it now?! its like by boobs know we now have a breast pump and bottles!

thank you, i was seriously freaked out earlier, never expected to lay in a wet patch from my boob.

do you think it comes out more at certain times? cos we were going to get frisky til I moved and saw it, so I wonder if this has anything to do with it?

Haha......I would make OH lay in the wet patch, turn the tables ( tmi?) if you can I would def freeze it now, colostrum is amazing stuff, plus it's really good to rub a little on your nipples before and after a feed if you can, helps stop your nipples getting sore when you first start breastfeeding :)

haha, yep, normal. first time it happened to me i was about 24 weeks and was wearing a hoody with no bra underneath. DP walks in and says 'my god, you appear to be lactating' which was even more of a surprise than the actual leakage, as he has a broad black country accent and it just didn't sound right... Confused

Don't worry about it - your body is getting ready, it is a good sign :)
