Only one nipple is leaking?

Question

I'm 22 weeks and today I noticed that my right nipple has yellowish gold stuff coming out of it (not a lot) which I'm assuming to be colostrum. But the left nipple is completely normal. My right boob is also just bigger in general. I'm worried lol, why is only one nipple leaking? What if I only produce milk out of one boob? Sorry if I seem stupid.

Answer

Lol that's all completely normal! Some women don't even leak colostrum at all until after baby is born, so your body is just ahead of the game! It's not indicative of your milk production whatsoever! Your milk will come in 3-4 days after you give birth, up til then baby will feed on colostrum. Since you're already leaking from 1 side, I guarantee the other one will start to leak too at some point.

Answer

It's all normal!! Having baby latch and nurse frequently after birth will stimulate milk production. Milk won't come in for a few days though so be aware of that. In the meantime, baby will get enough from your colostrum only.
