Breasts leaking 17 weeks

[melissa1215]

Hi everyone,

I'm 17+1 with my first baby and noticed that my left nipple is leaking a clear fluid, is this normal at 17 weeks along?

Also I've been having horrific headaches, I went to the hospital today as the headaches have got worse they told me I was fine and my bp was fine too and to take cocodomol (which I haven't taken as consultant earlier on told me paracetamol only..

Just wondering if anyone's had leaky breasts this early on and if it's normal, and any advice on how to hide it?

Also, if the headaches are anything to do with it

It's totally normal, you can use breast pads if you're leaking through clothing.

No idea about the headaches, I don't think the 2 are connected

@Bambamber thank you, glad to know it's normal.. I was frightened. I'm very chesty and the thought of leaking through gets me a little bit anxious so I'll definitely be getting nipple pads

It's colostrum and it's normal

I've had loads of headaches. I was told it's normal as it's all the hormone changes etc.
