Milk...already???

I am a FTM, 18wks6days with twins and just had something very unexpected happen. My breasts have been sore, so I was just rubbing them some when a clearish liquid began coming out of both breasts. I had no idea milk or colostrum would could be expressed so soon. I'm reading mixed info online about when it is supposed to come in. Any one have any experience?

Re: Milk...already???

  • I started producing colostrum at 24 weeks with my DS but I haven't yet with this one! It's just your body preparing for your babies!

  • With my last pregnancy, I started leaking a clear, slightly yellowish fluid around 20 weeks or so.  It was just enough to stain my bras, so I resorted to cloth breast pads for the rest of the pregnancy.  My actual colostrum didn't start until I was in labor.

  • I just started leaking a bit of clear fluid the past couple of days. I noticed a spot on my bra tonight when I took it off. Guess I'll have to dig out my leftover pads. I don't remember when it happened with DD, I think it was much later on.

  • I started at 17w. I'm FTM with twins as well. OB says it's a good thing! Not to worry, once it started it hasn't stopped. I may have a day or two that I don't notice it but it's there if you squeeze 'em.

  • I didn't leak anything at all during my pregnancy with Ds. This time, I started leaking a couple of weeks ago. It's very minimal and just clear right now.

    I wouldn't worry about it , just your body getting ready.

  • yup just your body getting ready! probably won't be true colostrum until closer to birth.
