15 weeks pregnant and there is a clearish liquid leaking from my boobs?
I was changing my close and I noticed that my right nipple looked sweaty. Upon further investigation I noticed it was leaking from them. I know it is normal, but this early?
Lol I am amazed at my new super power, will playing with my boobs hurt the baby. (I am sure the novelty of it will wear off in a few days) but like is it possible to use up all the colostrum stuff, cause I know the baby needs it.
My last question is I heard its saposta be like yellowish but mine is milkie clear. I read that it turns clear before labor this isn't a sign of premature labor is it?

nah i had the exact same thing i was about 17 weeks pregnant and it can be clear, white, yellow and of them mine always changes from those 3 colours lol. and my docter said you cant use it all up lol i know its weird and you cant help to squeesze them for a while haha my partner thought i was crazy lol!
Mine has been clear all along. I have never heard that it being clear is a sign of labor...?
Women have been known to leak even earlier than 15 weeks. And some women never leak at all, which is completely normal as well.
Playing with your boobs won't hurt the baby ... although, nipple stimulation *can* provoke labor, but usually only in later pregnancy when the body is ready for labor anyway.
Expressing the colostrum won't really hurt as your body will produce more throughout your pregnancy, but it's probably just wise to leave yourself alone and put some nursing pads inside your bra if you're really leaking a lot.
Yes it's normal to see it that early. And no, playing with them won't hurt the baby or use up all your colostrum but I really wouldn't be squeezing it all out, it may just make you leak more.
And no, it's not a sign of premature labour. Especially at 15 weeks.
Its perfectly fine. every pregnancy is different. With my first, I didnt leak until the end but with this one I was not even as far along as you are and i started leaking. It was literally only a few weeks after my period was late! It settled down though. I no longer leak but there is some in there (if I squeezed it out). But best to not squeeze any out as you may cause it to increase. Best to just leave it alone and you may find you appear to dry up again (might not though!). And the colour is perfectly normal, that is what mine looks like too. You will get colustrum when you need it.
I would suggest that you don't play with your breasts, but it's your choice I guess.
More colostrum will continue to come during your pregnancy is the preparation of your milk for your baby.
Mine started at 14 weeks and has been running like a river ever since!!
It's colostrum. It's normal for it to be clear before the baby's born, handling your breasts won't cause a problem, and no you can't "use up" your colostrum before the baby's born. It will replenish itself. Not a sign of any problems.
Yes it is possible thats why people say do not squeeze your breasts while pregnant. That is the most important milk your baby needs. And if its just randomly leaking that's probably normal just let your body do what it does and switch bras every once in a while.:P haha good luck!
i'm 14w2d at present ... and that i've got had a heavy furnish of a clean liquid coming from my boobs for nearly 2 weeks. i assumed it became colostrum?? i assume I would desire to ask my ob/gyn this week...
