TMI nipples leaking at 24 weeks

This entire post may be a bit TMI but my boobs have been getting really sore the last few days (I've been lucky and escaped this pregnancy symptom so far!). I decided to massage them gently for a bit of relief and my nipples started full on leaking a milky/clear substance. As in down my boobs and on to my stomach leaking.
I had a couple of little spots a few days ago but nothing much and thought nothing more of it but now if I I so much as put the smallest bit of pressure on my boobs the leaking starts again.
Is it too early for colostrum production? Or at 24 weeks is this quite normal? I'm scared it's going to be a sign of very premature labour.

It's normal at that stage. I'm sure mine leaked from about 17 weeks in one of my pregnancies

I am 25 weeks and mine have been leaking a bit for a couple of weeks. Not painful or uncomfortable and doesn't sound like it's as much as you have but I believe it's fairly normal..just another delight of pregnancy!

I was 20 weeks when mine did that. It's fine. All the best with your pregnancy!

I was assured by my midwife that the leaking is perfectly normal (I have had this from around 16 weeks..!) however she did stress not to squeeze/massage as this action can bring on premature labour. I don’t think it’s very likely unless done regularly but just sharing the advice I was given!
