Q: Boobs Leaking Early in Pregnancy

I was wondering if it is normal for your boobs to be leaking at 23 weeks into the pregnancy because I think mine have started to leak a little bit...but it is a clear liquid

Yes, this is normal. It is not milk you are leaking, milk production won't start until the baby is born and is suckling for a few days. Until then, your body will produce calorie rich colostrum. There are breast pads you can buy if the leaking starts going through your bra and is visible on your shirt. Some girls even use panty liners to line their bra with.

Yup, completely normal.

Your actual milk should come in about three days after birth whether your baby suckles or not (my sister did and she gave her daughter up for adoption).
