25 weeks and leaking?!

Question

So this might be slightly silly to some, but I'm a ftm and 25 weeks today. I noticed today that clear fluid will come out of my right breast (by hand) but not left? 1.) What is this clear liquid? And 2.) Is it normal that it didn't come to both? Thank you!

Answer

it's most likely colostrum. It's normal. Breasts aren't symmetrical so one may not work like the other.

Answer

Thanks all! I figured since nothing in the body is completely identical, that it's normal. But I work in the medical field and there really is no dumb question. I really appreciate all the advice!!

Answer

Your starting to produce colostrum, it's completely normal. If you're planning on breastfeeding this will be your babies first few meals until your milk comes in. It's very good for babies to get colostrum and some even recommend pumping and feeding it to them even if you don't plan to breastfeed.
