Clear Liquid from nipples

smiles85rosessmiles85roses
in 2nd Trimester
Has anyone else had clear liquid coming from their nipples?  I noticed it tonight for the first time, and from what I have found, colostrum is normal in the third trimester, but it sounds like that is yellowish as well instead of clear.   I will call my Dr. in the morning, but thought I would check here until then.  Thanks

    I wouldn't bother calling the doc. It's normal to get nipple leakage, and it can happen in the 2nd tri too. But to each their own.

    Yeah, that's colostrum and it's normal that it's yellowish.

    It's normal, and the farther along you get it will change to a creamy tint and will stay like that until after your milk comes in if you are going to bf.

    My breasts started leaking clear liquid at 18 weeks when pressure was applied. By 28 weeks, I had to wear breast pads full-time.

    That's colostrum or pre-milk. After you give birth, you'll make a new supply of it and it gives your newborn a huge boost of immune protection and feeds them (although it's a few ounces it's more than enough!) until your milk comes in 4-6 days post-birth.

    I started leaking pretty early too.  I think it was 15 or 16 weeks when I first noticed it.  I've been wearing pads full time for about a month now (26 weeks).  I hope it just means I'll have a great milk supply when the baby comes.

    cwyland, my OB was sure I'd have a great supply when I had DS. Unfortunately, I don't think early leaking has little to do with actual supply. I was unable to breastfeed for a variety of reasons, but the primary reason I quit was because my milk never came in.

    It's just colostrum. I've been leaking it since 11 weeks. My nurse said it was perfectly normal and to not really stimulate the nipples too much.

    VERY normal. it will turn to the yellowish color by the time the baby's born, or shortly thereafter! No worries :)
