Hi I'm 29 weeks and on and off my breasts have been leaking a tiny bit at night since I was 16 weeks.
I'm I n the bath and noticed a little bit so I squeezed them and more and more came out. The colour
Was a cloudy white but then yellow coming out after. Do u need to be worried or does this mean I could be
Preparing for labour sooner than my due date? She is a big baby and have back ache and so tired all the time
And I'm small framed. Can anyone advise? Thanks

When it first comes out it is usually a yellowish color and turns to a clear/cloudy color. All the leaking means is your starting to produce milk.

no need to worry , thats just colostrum (or however it's spelled) . its the first milk the baby will drink (if you're breastfeeding) so really , its like pre-milk . you should leak it until your milk starts to come in which is usually 1-3 days after the baby is born . & as the poster above said , some woman start leaking early . some earlier than others , so again , no need to worry :)

Yeah I'm 24w and I've been leaking since about 20 i think. Its never yellow though only cloudy/clear. I'm a ftm. Hopefully this means we won't have to worry about not breastfeeding unless the little ones dont take to it lol

Some people start leaking early. I started leaking around then too. There is nothing to worry about. I am at 38+4 and I don't think my son is gonna be coming yet. I am already scheduled to be induced on Sept. 10th the week after my due date.
