leaky boobies

[newmommy601]

I'm 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby.my nipples started leaking around 16 weeks. I'm just wondering if it's too early.my sister in law is due may 9th and she isn't leaking.. it's clear milky looking colostrum ckm I no out. She said I should be careful she heard it was a sign of early labor I've never heard that before. Vet mommy's help

Maybe it means I'll produce plenty of milk.  Thanks ladies

Your fine. I've been leaking since about 18 weeks and I'm 32 weeks and no signs of preterm labor. Some women just leak earlier than others

It's normal. Don't be worried I start leaking before I even was pregnant !, weird right ?

I started leaking steadily at about 6 months and haven't stopped. I'm 39 weeks today. I don't have big boobs (about average, really). It is totally normal if you do and totally normal if you don't. Get some nursing pads and go about your way. All it told me was that my plumbing works just as well upstairs as it does downstairs. :)

Everybody's body is different. Do you have big boobs? Sometimes women with larger boobs will start leaking earlier. I've never heard of that being a sign of early labor. With my first child I was leaking by 20 weeks. I wouldn't worry at all. Just use some pads to put in your bra

I'm only a ftm but mine have been leaking since 17-18 weeks as well and I'm now 33 weeks my doctor isn't concerned about early labour at all.. Some people just have to deal with leaky boobs longer lol :)

Some women leak and some don't... I never did with my son but started around 14 weeks with this pregnancy! Its very normal :)
