23 weeks and one leaky boob?

i didn't think this started happening until the 3rd trimester. It was startling at first, just a few drops on my pajama shirt, but I woke up this morning with a small puddle on my sheets. It's only happening on one side, and the fluid is a kind of orangish color. Is this normal at all??

Re: 23 weeks and one leaky boob?

  • The colostrum (which is usually what breast milk is until baby is born) is a yellowish/orangish color. There are a lot of women who start leaking this early on so I'd say everything is completely normal. :)

  • I have this just on one side, too! Glad I'm not the only one.
  • I started leaking around 17 or 18 weeks! It was mostly all coming from my right, but they switched and now it's mostly coming from the left. I get little stains on my bras and sheets. And when I'm bra less it soaks through my shirts a little. It's usually clear, but if I squeeze my nipple a little orangish stuff comes out with it.
  • I find a bit of crusty stuff stuck to my left nipple when I get undressed to get in the shower and have done since 20 weeks - am 24 now. Not too worried.
