Possible TMI

I was just wondering if any of you had stuff leaking from your breasts. I noticed while putting lotion on them that a small amount of clear liquid came out. My husband didn't believe me so I squized a little and some more came out. I'm a first time mom and my mom didn't have any milk production so I have no idea what is going on. What do you all think?

Yeap, that is normal, mine only comes out if i squeeze it, and ive noticed it on my breast after i wake up, depending on how i sleep, my boobs are stupid big(44dd)

Juana:  when i had my son at 19 and my aerola went from nickle size to half my breast, i asked the DR when will it go back down to its regular size, he lol at me (he probably said stupid kid in his head)  i was so embarsed of how they looked, then i got over it. NOW, i think my whole breast is aerola lol lol.  I didnt think it could spread any further.

Yup...that's colostrum (pre-milk). With my son I noticed it at 16 weeks. It never leaked out on it's own, but when I would squeeze it, it was there. This time around it's different as I just stopped nursing my son 6 weeks ago, now I think I have what is colostrum as I am not producing milk anymore.

That is normal. I have read that women leak often in the 2d and third trimesters. It has not happened to me, but I have noticed that my aerola (sp?) has become quite large...and dark...LOL
