Let's talk nipples (TMI)

Ok so besides the fact that they look like saucers now (DH and I refer to them as satalite nips) and truly resemble the nipple on a baby bottle, I have noticed something new the past couple days.  When I get ready to take a shower and so obviously am getting undressed, I notice that they are sort of glossy looking like there is a tiny bit of liquid there.  I examined my bras for signs of leaking but have found none.  However, when I squeeze it, either a tiny bit of clearish liquid will come out or a thicker white paste-like substance will.  I mean the amount is so tiny it is probably the size of a pen mark.  So does anyone else experience this or am I the only weirdo squeezing my nipples?  Should I be prepared for leakage to start soon based on this??

  • Its totally normal and some lactation consultant say its really good to prime the breast for colostrum the few weeks before labor.

  • Hey!  I noticed this a few weeks ago, but it is still only the tiny bit (now I'm 30 weeks).  No leakage yet!  Hope you stay leak-free, too!  :)
  • Earlier this week I had tiny amount of clear liquid leak out when I squeezed mine.  It's the only time I've ever experienced this.  I have nothing helpful to tell you, other then you're not alone.  I am hoping someone else has more info b/c I was wondering about this myself. 
  • I've had that since 26 weeks or so, and as of now (36 wks) no nipple leaks for me.

  • i haven't had any leakage at all.
  • LOL. I love this post- I did the same thing the other day. I haven't leaked since. But it is good to know our bodies know what to do and how to prepare on their own. 
  • Funny to see this post today -- this just started happening to me yesterday. I actually got all excited thinking wow, I'm really going to be a mommy soon! Hopefully this doesn't mean they go into full leaking mode...!

  • Same thing happening here --- no leakage but with some probing and proding I get some juices peeking out.  Pretty weird - I also find that that milk dries out and gets crusty.
