What the heck is coming out of my boobs??

I'm only 18 weeks, and the past few days I've noticed moisture on my nipples. When I squeeze them, clear liquid comes out. I thought you didn't get milk until after the baby comes. What is it? Is it normal? And is it going to get worse?

Yes its normal. You wont neccessarially (sp) get worse but you will have it through out your pregnancy. Its not milk until a few days to a week after you give birth. I believe its called colustrum. Not sure as how to spell that one either!lol   So no it shouldnt be a lot or even enough to come through to your shirts. Now when your milk does come in your breast will swell and may become very painful if you dont release the milk regularly. Even if the baby isnt eating you could try pumping or just squeeze a little out. and you will definetley want to get the breast pads so not to leak..... Hope I have helped!
