Maybe TMI: I am pregnant and have a bleeding nipple

[hopefulLady]

This is so weird, do I need to be worried if I see a tiny drop of blood oozing out my left nipple when pressed. I noticed this in the bath. It stopped now, but later i put some lip gel( considering lanolin in it) over it and it started oozing colostrum and bit of blood again. I wish I had not googled this, it says cancer all over!!! Has anyone seen anything like this in pregnancy?

:) thank you. Congratulations to you as well. Your daughter is so adorable! I am totally with you on the scares and paranoia! everything freaks me out, I was never so conscious of my environment and now I totally censor sounds, smells, food, air, radiations( like from microwaves, computers) lol :)
Praying for our babies!

im 2 and a half weeks behind you and i can only imagine how scared you were, i know i would be the same. congrats!

Thats a nice thought! Part of me if glad to see my body changing to welcome the baby. I am ok with any pain thats associated as a part of having a baby! I just got worried that the blood part should not be something i am overlooking thinking it is pregnancy related.
well, last night, I did leak again a bit, but its been fine since morning... thanks a bunch!

aww i get sharp pains in my nipples too, it makes you wanna walk around rubbing it better lol if your nipples are very sore, put a cold pack on them to soothe the pain. at least you know your body is working :)

ohh!! I will go wash the lip gel off then! I did have some leaking earlier this morning into the bra, maybe thats what happened then, it must have stuck to the fabric and then peeled off! Its a real small needle point place where it oozed. Could it be a crack too!

It can be caused by a few things but it is normal. Don't be worried. May even happen more often when u sleep. Sometimes you can leek and when it hardens up it can almost" glue" you nipple to your bra and when you move or take it off remove a small layer of skin. I know gross but happens. They also say not to put stuff like lip gel on it. It could cause problems with the ducts.

Thanks a lot for answering! Its stopped now but I have sharp stinging pains in my left breast, I will check with my doctor tomorrow. Just hoping someone who's seen such a thing before will be able to answer me, it would really help to sleep better :)

do not quote me but it is normal for colustrum to come out and if a first pregnancy, maybe why its coming out pink to start with. tell your doc, dont worry too much about it in the mean time.
