Leaking colostrum- how early?

[catgamerlady]

Hi,
Got a little freaked out getting ready for bed tonight! Took my bra off (bliss) but noticed the ends of my nipples had a creamy white dry substance on them. It was dry but kind of sticky (thick I guess). I'm not in any pain (over the normal aches and pains) and I'm assuming it's colostrum.
I'm only 17 weeks and a FTM. Any reassurance that this is normal would be appreciated!

I had this in 3rd trimester with my older children, even twins. Noticed it already this past week, I'm 19+6 now.

Thanks @Chelyanne! Everything I've said suggested to expect it later in pregnancy so was just a bit surprised I guess

I had it before 16 weeks as I mentioned it to my mw at 16 wk appointment and she said it was normal. I’m also a FTM x

Started at 15 weeks with my first. Very normal

Thanks everyone, I feel better now! Trying not to notice every tiny change but that one was pretty noticeable

I had mine at about 20/21 weeks, weirdly the day I met my friends newborn baby haha! Think it can come in at any point during the second or third trimesters! Just don't express it until you're 37 weeks as I really wanted to to ease the pressure but my midwife said it can induce labour. Wish it would induce it now I'm 5 days over due haha

Just for anyone reading this who hasn't leaked, please don't worry about that either.
It doesn't mean anything in regards to whether you can breastfeed or not.

My best friend has never leaked and she's fed both her babies up to 2 years.
Where as I've always leaked early and have never been able to breastfeed
