booby juice

[KarmaBiatch]

29 weeks and my boobs have started leaking clear liquid. I'm not surprised r.e. the leaking, but more that it's clear and sticky (sorry tmi).

is this totally normal? I was expecting it to look somewhat milky?!

Pretty sure it's normal, but if you call it that again, we'll have to kill you.

Yeah don't call it that.
Ever.

It's just normal colostrum. Use a breast pad.

ha! what would you rather I call it?

Breast milk ...

fluid, colostrum? Booby juice is just too "bitty" and made me wince

Just milk!

wow.. it was only meant to be light hearted! the reason I didn't call it breast milk is due to the lack of milky appearance!

Booby juice?

God I think a bit of sick just entered my mouth.

I got that it was lighthearted :)
Give the OP a break.

I like booby juice, colostrum is far too hard to spell

I got this at 20 weeks, freaked me out! I thought it was supposed to be milky until someone explained colostrum to me!

Thanks maturestudent, didn't realise it would cause distaste in others mouths, will have to remember to be serious at all times..

there was me thinking pregnancy and all that comes with it could be chuckled at..

It doesn't actually get milky until 3 or 4 days after the birth. Colostrum is usually thick and yellow.

Well I thought booby juice was funny, so humbug to you and your poor vomity mouths.

I'm going to run panicking to Tesco to get some breast pads now (not really but I should probably get some) I didn't think leakyness started till around the due date but I should clearly be prepared!

I got this at about 21 weeks. I went straight to my books and read all about colostrum so the lack of milky appearance didn't bother me too much but I was very surprised to have started leaking so early. I didn't even feel it happening, breasts had been sore but it wasn't until I saw a patch on my pjs that I realised . I now sleep in a sports bra with no wiring just incase of any over night leakages .

Grown up women call it milk!

Thanks for all the sensible answers

I guess you can't call me a grown-up woman then, no skin off my nose

Jeeeeze people need to relax, it was quite obviously light hearted and even if it wasn't they are her bloody boobs and her bloody boob juice to call as she wishes.

Thanks Larosa, thankfully the juice isn't bloody

Ahhhh yes proof reading is not my speciality! Although when my dd was born and my colostrum went an orangey colour I did think blood was coming out of my nipples, I cried to the midwife that I was feeding my daughter blood!

But it's not milk coming out...! :p

I quite liked booby juice. It made me laugh and click on the post. Its a shame some have to take things so seriously.

I've been carrying emergency breast pads around in my hand bag for about 2 months now (am now 30 wks) but luckily no leakage yet. Better safe than sorry though, especially at work! eek!

I liked booby juice! I've been leaking since last week and I'm 23+2 today :)
