Colostrum?

Hi Mama’s! 35 weeks here, today my breast started leaking but it’s clear? This is my first pregnancy so I am not sure if anyone has had this experience before. I would expect it to be yellow/white, but Google says it can be any color.

    It is normal! You can get reusable bamboo pads for your bra or the disposable kind. Don't try to pump though bc it could cause you to go into labor (I think??)

    I asked my doctor and she said I can start pumping when I am “full term” at 37 weeks and it can help with getting labor started! 
    I will probably wait until 38 weeks just to give him a little more time to bake haha

    Has anyone pumping at 38-40 weeks before? My doctor said since I am leaking I can start pumping at that time to store milk but my experiences mama friends are telling me to wait so I don’t get clogged ducts. 
    Any one have experience with this?

    I wouldn’t pump to store but I am going to do nipple stimulation as a natural induction attempt!
