I think I've started to lactate???

I am 25 weeks and yesterday I noticed some clear liquid coming out of my nipples in little droplets, not enough to have to wear breast pads or anything. I was just wondering what this is, and if it's normal? This is my first baby so I don't know what to expect. Is it colostum? or just oil of some sort? Does anyone else have this problem?

It is colostum. It is not uncommon for some of it to express itself in the 2nd trimester. :)

I am 26 weeks and noticed the same thing the other day. I never had this with either of my other children and have been experiencing some braxton hicks too. That worried me as I thought maybe its a sign that my body is ready to have this little girl. I had my son at 7 months and my daughter almost came the same time.

I hope that is not what it means!!!
I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I found some posts on another web site about women leaking, and it seems that a lot of women have this problem, I am just afraid that I will loose all the colostrum that the baby needs so much. But I guess they say it is a good sign that you will have good milk prodution. Which is good because I plan on breastfeeding.

I've got the same thing going on lol! Also, every now and again there is a milky color to it. I had this start at 6mo when I was p/g with DS also - Had him just shy of 38wks :-)

I am in the same boat. I noticed mine last week (27 weeks), but I have only really noticed it coming from one breast.  I am going to doctors for 28 week check up on Wednesday so I will be asking him.

Not me, which suprises me since i had my daughter 9  mo ago, figured my body would get back into the swing of things quicker! we will see!

I'm 28 weeks and I noticed it two days ago for the first time. It only happens at night for me though and It isn't a lot, well the first night. but its just colostum
