almost 24 weeks...

Is it normal for clear liquid to be leaking from my breast already? So far just from one breast. This is my third child and i never lactated before i had my baby. Can my milk ducts dry out before the baby comes and will it still be considered colostrum fir the first day or two after birth? Thanks in advance!

Its just colostrum, and its totally fine. My milk never officially "dryed up". I had my last baby 5 years ago and have leaked ever since then. Im 28 weeks now and have started to leak a lot more recently, so much that I already have to make sure I have a thick enough bra on when I go out.

Your milk will not dry up and you will have plenty of nutritious colostrum left when baby gets here.
