2nd Trimester

Really? Nipples leaking now?

So I don't know if I missed this section in all my pregnancy books...but my nipples are leaking. Well..one nipple. I just have this clear liquid coming from my right boob and I don't even know it is about to happen. I just happened to look down at my shirt and noticed this circle of moisture right where my nipple is. I am shocked!!! I am not even 6 months pregnant yet and i thought this happened after the baby came......

 

Is anyone else experiencing this? What do you do? Is it normal? Does it get worse?

Re: Really? Nipples leaking now?

  • My nipples start leaking a very small amount of clear liquid yesterday.  I called my sister in a mini panic.  It's normal, it gets worse, and I don't think there is anything you can do, except wear those nipple pad things if they are leaking bad.

  • Yeah, I woke up with a spot a couple days ago. Wasn't sure what it was until later in the day when it started leaking again. I called my mom, and she said she started leaking around the same time when she was pregnant with me. It totally grosses out DH..lol!
  • yup, my right one more than my left.  I bought some disposable nursing pads to use when it starts to get worse...and it will.

  • I'm sorry you're guys are leaking and have crusty nipples?! Ok i deffinatly didn't sign up for that!! Huh?

    Thank you for the heads up, at least i'll be a little bit better prepared now i've heard about this pre-baby leaking, time to get the nipple pads out!

  • Thank you Ladies! I feel better that it is normal. I guess I will have to drive to Target and get some breast shield type thingies......the joys of being pregnant! :)
  • It's completely normal! Mine started at 18 weeks.

  • I started to leak at 17 weeks... it's awfully frustrating
  • I started at 16 weeks.  Definately a good idea to get some nursing pads.  You'll need them a lot later even if you don't BF.
