What does colostrum look like?
I was about to get in the shower when I noticed this little crust on my nipples (sorry tmi) so me being the curious me pulled it off and this clear liquid stuff came out. It was thicker than water and kinda gooey. Is this colostrum? I'm 20+2 weeks. Oh and my boobs feel more swollen than usual today. Help
Not everyone leaks colostrum, doesn't have any impact on if you can breast feed or not :)
@sonita5 ok kool I was kinda freaked out, but I'm relieved now that I know it's colostrum. I was scared that my boobs weren't gonna work for breastfeeding lol
Yeah, it's colostrum. I first noticed that exact same thing around 18-19 weeks. I'm now 29w2d and it still happens lol. My breasts and nipples (especially right ones) have been very sore and sensitive to touch.
Yea sounds like it is its clear sometimes yellowish and sometimes with white in it if its sticky than it is
