Leaking boob!

[Elle5599]

I'm in my second trimester, 21 weeks, and have had one leaking breast for at least a month now. It's not a lot, just a few clear drops every day, but this is the first pregnancy I've had to get this far and I can't find anything online about anyone else leaking this early or just from one breast. I went to the doctor but they were super vague about it - 'things like this happen'. But do they happen to anyone else?! Grateful for thoughts!

Hi OP in both my pregnancies I had leaky boobs from ridiculously early on. Thinking back it probably started with one then the other a few weeks later. Now 35 weeks and both stream like nothing on earth. Perfectly normal as far as I know.

Third baby for me.. but first one leaking boobs
started around 14 weeks for me. Yeh told just hormones? Im having a girl dunno if that gives u more girly hormones??

I’m having a boy and mine started leaking a bit at about 18 weeks 😬

It's colostrum and it's quite normal to leak from sometimes quite early on in pregnancy

Yes very normal! Had it with my first, I'd wake up and have absolutely soaked the bed 😳

Personally I'd mention it to your midwife. No harm in being checked out.

Thanks all! I just find it so weird that it's only from one boob and has been for a good few weeks. So I'm torn between thinking - is that one defective? Or is the one that isn't leaking not going to work?! First time I've gotten this far in a pregnancy so everything is a little bit anxiety-inducing!

I would probably catch the colostrum in a syringe (would definitely avoid expressing as its too early) but this definitely is a normal pregnancy symptom.

I had one leaky boob from 12 weeks, with that pregnancy now a healthy toddler. When I started breastfeeding that one definitely gave it up easier, but the other one also worked fine. Boobs are weird.

Ah I'm not alone! That's such a relief. Thank you!
