Is it normal to be leaking colostrum at 11 wks?

Question

Hey ladies I'm a FTM I'm at 11wks 2 days and the other day I was looking in the mirror and I realized how veiny my boobs looked and how I could see them through my skin which isn't usually how they look. This however lead me to squeeze on them and it comes clear liquid. Is this normal or should I be worried.

Answer

You don't start producing colostrum until you're around 16 weeks. What you're expressing is neither colostrum or milk, it's likely the fluid that's always there. It keeps your nipples lubricated and clean. It's totally normal but expressing it too much/too often can cause issues so just leave it be 🙂

Answer

Colostrum is not clear.  You will likely leak throughout your pregnancy.  It's normal, don't worry!

Answer

My sister leaked her whole pregnancy. It happens. I didn't leak with my first at all. Neither of us had supply issues.
