LEAKING!

My breasts have started to leak milk!! And I'm only 6 months...anybody else experiencing this or has experienced this during their pregnancy.  It's only from the left side too...Sorry if TMI but I wake up and find a whole wet spot leading from my nipples all the way down to the sheets...Is it too early to start leaking or is this normal??

I was working on homework with my 5 year old and my right breast started to leak. I'm 17 weeks. I know its not milk but it is still a little scary when I plan on breast feeding this time around. But my doctor says it happens so I feel better about that.

Yeah, that happened to me when I was pregnant.  I had an orgasm and it leaked all over my fiance.  That's hysterical.

I started leaking colostrum at about 4 1/2 months.  It's normal.  A little inconvienent, but normal.  Oh, and yes about the intimacy thing.  They'll REALLY leak if you have an orgasm.  =)

Thanks everyone. Yea, even my DH says when we're being intimate, he can taste it that it actually comes out when he (sorry if TMI) sucks on them, hehehe...

I'm almost 27w and mine have been for about a month now.  I freaked.  this never happened with my other 2.  I called the doc thinking that if they started leaking colostrom now, that I wouldn't have any left or that they would dry up before the baby even gets here.  I know probably sounds dumb, but I got nervous.  He actually told me that it usually is a good sign that you will end up having a good supply of milk.

i have been leaking milk and I'm not even preggo!  I went to a different doctor about it and he said it was from a m/c I had sep 06.  Some women can develop milk as soon as they get preggo!  He said it's not unusual for you to see this but it is rare.   My sil who is 8 months now actually started developing when she was 5 months I believe.  Anywho, just tell your doctor and he/she will suggest the best thing for you!
