ok so for the last few days I wake up with whitish crusty stuff at the ends of my nipples , and sometimes I notice it during the day, so a little while ago, this clearish stuff came out of my nipple. Do you think I'm starting to leak colostrum?

Yeah. It isn't uncommon and can happen at any time in a woman's pregnancy. Usually not the first month or two - you are, what? 15 weeks now? Normal.

if i just slightly touch my nipples i have colostrum come out, since 12 weeks or so. In saying that it is my second pregnancy so i'm not sure if that makes a difference.

But yeah that's what it'll be!

Totally normal. If it gets to the point where it's soaking through your bra, you can buy some panty liners and cut them in half, and stick one half in each cup. They're cheaper than breast pads and do the exact same thing. And they'll keep you from leaking through your bra.
