boob question...
i'm feeling a bit embarrassed about this but i've gone through my books on this issue and to no avail. now i'm asking you..
this happened maybe a couple of months ago (i am now 23wks preg) when i discovered my nipples starting to leak. not profusely or anything. just little leaks. it's a clear liquidy substance. i sealed it with vaseline and an unpleasant stingy feeling ensued. from what i've read it's not colostrom. but what is it? is this happening to anyone else?

Re: boob question...
some women experience "leaking" during pregnancy. there's probably not a whole lot of info on it as it's harmless and not incredibly common. just speak to your dr. about it...likely their advice will be to buy some nursing pads and accept it as part of your pregnancy.

Leaking is common. It happened to me too.

Re: boob question...
oh I leaked ALL the time! from the late 20's all the way to the birth. I always thought it was colostrum.
I just made sure I was always wearing a slightly padded bra
