Milky white colostrum?!

I have been lightly leaking clear colostrum since about 17 weeks.  Today, when I squeezed a little excess fluid out, I noticed it is now white too.  Is that normal?  I always thought colostrum was supposed to be clear or a little cloudy.  Does that seem abnormal?

    Mine went from a clear fluid to a thicker white-yellow fluid towards the end of my second tri (with my first).  Breastmilk can be almost any color and still be normal (I think the only thing they worry about is red), so I'm sure it is fine.  Ask your OB at your next appointment just to be sure.

    I've heard it can be clear, white, or even yellow. I'm sure it's fine. It couldn't hurt a call to your OB if you're concerned though.
