Singermomtobe. I'm the same way. It only happens when I take my bra off though. On child#3 at 10weeks and 2days. I guess every one is different. Lol. Good luck ladies.

Cool thanks guys :) so I'm better off waiting till I give birth for the milk cos my boobs arent that big and doesn't feel or look like any milk coming out anytime soon.

I second the itchy nips. Sometimes I take off my bra and my arm will rub across and it feels wet. Mine is clear until it dries.

I started leaking around 24 weeks, I just want to slap somebody lol it seems so unsanitary and there's nothing I can do to stop it.
You will know if you start leaking, usually it happens as a result of having some kind of pressure on your breasts, or sometimes while you're leaving the shower. Other times it will just decide to happen whenever it wants.
For me, my nipples and skin get super itchy as it's drying, plus I can feel the moisture on my shirt against my nipples. Afterwards, when it dries,there's like a little chunk of it dried in my nipple and the rest of it flakes off my breast when I scratch at it.
It's not a big old problem or anything whether you get it or not, it sure is annoying though.
