22 weeks - leaky nipple!

[Andersonx3]

Long story short - I'm 22 weeks pregnant, on holiday in Spain, just walked into the kitchen in a t shirt and noticed my left nipple leaking!! From what I can tell it's clear - I'm sure this is probably ridiculous and just another pregnancy thing but is this normal at this stage?? Husband laughing his tits off at my horror 😂 thanks!

Totally normal. Breasts start to produce colostrum during pregnancy and this can be a variety of colours - clear, milky, yellowish, even orange! Will probably appear on the other side at some point soon. Breast pads or cotton wool are your friend unless you want to be washing your bras every bloody night.

@NuffingChora oh lovely! I'm currently using a piece of tissue but the cotton wool pads are a good shout - I have some in my shower bag so I'll grab those! Thanks for educating me!

I was horrified too when it happened to me about 21weeks. It comes and goes though so don't worry:)

I've had it since about 14 weeks and asked my midwife, she says it's completely normal.

Omg one of mines started leaking too and I'm only 17 weeks it's just the left one how strange

3rd baby here and I've been waking up wet patches for months! DH thinks it's hilarious. I've started wearing breast pads already just because it's annoying washing my bras daily
