Leaky breasts!

Just started leaking a clear fluid from my breasts today! I'm 21 weeks tomorrow.

My friend mentioned about starting to express and storing!?

I'm a FTM so no idea what to do, what are people's experiences with this? :-)

It's the start of milk production. You shouldn't hand express and store until after 36 weeks as there's a tiny chance of premature labour.

Leaking is normal though. It'll start and stop.
