Now lol i was putting my bra on and i looked and there it was just a little but you would now there was something coming out of it... is this ok.? Please people with experience write back .... Thank You... and im sure there is nothing wrong but just wondering if its ok...

Answer 1

yes very normal for b*****s to do this in pregnancy its a good sign that breastfeeding should be easier xx

Answer 2

I would mention it to your doctor but I had this happen later on in my pregnancy too.  They say it doesn't mean BF will be any easier but I think it did.  My son never got upset because nothing was coming out from day 1 of BF as I've heard some babies do.  Be prepared for it to pour out it you hear a baby cry - watching the Baby Story was the worst for me: :)

Answer 3

Sure can.  Perfectly normal.  It's the hormone boost from advanced pregnancy that triggers milk production, not the delivery itself.

Answer 4

And it begins...it going to keep happening so try to be prepared!

Answer 5

I had the same question when i was pregnant and yes, it is totally normal. most of women will have it around 7-8 months. i had it early at 4 months, everything was fine

Answer 6

Yes, that can happen, I get a little bit of that at 8 months, but I also have breastfed my other child previously, and I thought that was why. You should mention it to your doc/midwife at your next appointment to see what they say, but i think it can be normal. It probably wouldn't be real milk, just colostrum or fluids while your b*****s are preparing for the real thing.

Answer 7

Don't worry, it is completely normal for your b*****s to leak during pregnancy. They are just getting ready for the baby. :)

Answer 8

Yes, it didn't happen with my first pregnancy but it's been happening with this one (starting around 5 months).  Welcome to motherhood!  You can get some of those breast pads at the store to prevent embarrassment in public.

Answer 9

Yup it's just colostrum aka pre-milk. It's just your body getting ready for the baby. I started leaking at 22 weeks. I am 35 weeks now and still leaking away! lol If it's heavy then go get some nursing pads to put in your bra so you won't have wet spots. Best of luck and congrats on the baby!

Answer 10

YUP!  Totally normal!  It will happen from now on.

Answer 11

its normal, but doesn't normally star until 7 mos - get some nursing pads

Answer 12

yes it can and it happens to a lot of woman ! Just go to almost any grocery store or even walmart and get pads for your breast of course ! you should find them in the baby section where you formula e.c.t ! congrats
