  What everybody else said. I leaked from early on with my previous pregnancies, but not yet with this one.

  Nice! I had no idea it was clear! Guess I was picturing cow's milk, haha. Goes to show how much I know about my own body.

  Squeezed nipple or squeezed boob? I'm curious now too... Will have to try later though haha not in a situation where I can do it now.

  OW- how can you squeeze them? mine hurt so bad to touch!
  I didn't know it came in this early, interesting. Mine was yellowy white when it started ( i think), but that was after ds was born.

  Ok so similar question coming from a FTM.... Does your nipple have one hole like a bottle nipple or is it a bunch of little tiny holes? I know weird question but I've never used my tatas for functional purposes before!

  Several holes. What's crazy is when your milk comes in, you become engorged, and when you take off your bra milk sprays in three different directions. Fun times! I can remember having to leave my bra on until the second I was stepping into the shower to avoid a milk puddle in our bathroom floor.

  Maybe…I think you'd have to suck pretty hard.  Well, I suppose it depends how prone yours are to leaking.  I have to try pretty hard to express anything at this point.

  Welcome to nursing! That's probably what yours will feel like after you have your LO which is why ppl tell you to bring a bunch of lanolin with you to the hospital. I doubt you could get much out right now besides a few drops anyway.

  Stuck in the quote box.  They have lots of little holes (your breast has lots of separate ducts inside).  This way if one gets clogged, the others still work.  You'll see them once your milk comes in and starts spraying everywhere haha.

  I am kind of cringing at all of you squeezing your nipples at 15/18 weeks pregnant.  Leave your poor boobs in peace.  They'll get plenty of abuse once the baby is here.

  I'm dying reading these. It reminds me of after I had DD and I would be in the shower I would squeeze my breasts to see how far I could get the milk to squirt out. Hahahaha. You will all do this, I can already tell.
  
  (If you were wondering, it was probably like 2-3 feet.)

  I'm with @tbags83 , I'm sorry it took me so long to open this thread LOL. To add to @littlesparrow602 , DH would freak out a little any time milk sprayed from my boobs so any time he got a little frisky in the shower when I wasn't up for it I would spray him and he'd instantly back off.
  
  Finally opened this thread as I'm a third time mom and I have weird dried up colostrum or SOMEthing coming out of every oraface of my nipples. What IS this?!! And why is this also coming out of the areolas??!! It is grossing me out. DH hasn't noticed but I really notice every time I get out of the shower and I can't get them completely clean. Totally grosses me out. I may be the only weirdo with this problem but thought I'd check this thread and see if anybody else had mentioned this issue .

  A woman needs to know what her girls are capable of! I can't not know. Far too curious. So they don't have anything yet, I'm sure I'll be checking every now and then. They'll have to get used to the pinching anyway so I don't see anything wrong with giving them a little test squeeze here and there. To each her own

  Y'all, after reading this my boobs are throbbing and I haven't even touched them! I'm almost 18 weeks... How can you touch yours? Mine hurt so bad I want to cry when people hug me. Which means the hubby really isn't getting any right now...
  Anything we can do for miserable, painful boobs?

  @pinksundrops that's been happening to me, too! I mentioned my crusty nips on an earlier thread and grossed everyone out but now I'm realizing I've just had a little colostrum leakage lol. Ha! Still gross.

  You are not alone! This was one of the things that "tipped" me off to the fact I was possibly pregnant and that was around five weeks.....surprise! It has continued periodically since.....I'm now 17wks 3 days. My provider told me....it's perfectly normal for some people. Nothing like waking up with a crusty boob : / .... It scared me the first time....I'm not going to lie!

  That sounds so awful. My nipples were just faintly tender but I've had no pain... Hence DHs mouthful the other night.
  
  I'd guess a comfy bra and good moisturizer might help.

  I am way too scared to try it! Like someone said earlier, I would have FTM freak out moment. But Friday I did notice that around my nipples there was this crusty stuff. I bet that's what it was!
