Leaking nipples

When did yours start? Yesterday at work I was in the stock room and a former employee came in with her 10 week old baby girl, they were in the staff room and I could hear the baby crying for about 15 minutes. Later on went to the toilet because I realise my bra felt wet and my nipples were leaking what I imagine is colostrum? (Yellow fluid, looked like nipple had a infection)
I'm 23 weeks, is this too early? If I'm leaking now will there be milk when baby arrives?
Thanks in advance x

Personally I didn't leak until the day before I gave birth but others I know leaked this early on. I don't think it's unusual

I remember my nipples started leaking when I was about 18weeks, it freaked me out a bit but my midwife said it was fine.
I ended up having tons of milk when my baby was born. Nothing to worry about.

I also started leaking around 18 weeks and been having to wear breast pads ever since! Didn't think I would have to open the box until she arrived but I've gone through multiple boxes already 😂 xo

Yes mine did at 18 weeks and I spent the rest of my pregnancy having to wear breast pads because they leaked so much.
Like another poster said, I had more than plenty of milk for the baby when she arrived.
You keep making it so don’t worry!

1st pregnancy I never leaked, had plenty of milk once DS was born.

This pregnancy, I'm leaking a tiny bit but that may be because ive just stopped breastfeeding DS recently... but I think it's colostrum as it looks slightly different.
