17 weeks, leaking breast?

Question

Is it normal for my boobs to be leaking at 17 weeks? They are super sore and leak what looks like a clear liquid but when I took toilet paper to wipe it off it was almost yellowish. First time being pregnant and don’t wanna freak out for nothing!

Is this normal?

Answer

Earlier than typical, but normal. You don't want to express it, though - don't try to "milk" your breasts to squeeze it out or anything, just leave 'em alone and let them do their thing. There are nursing pads available, if the leaking gets worse and becomes a nuisance.

Answer

It’s called colostrum. Completely normal. It is not milk. It is what your body will make until after birth when it starts milk production
