leak clear liquid from my breasts at 23 weeks ! Posted: 08-13-07 01:13am
is it normal to leak clear liquid from my
breasts at 23 weeks?
the daddy to be thinks its cute and often
wants to play with them, but im worried my
milk will come in faster if he does, and
then there will be none for the baby when
he gets out.
is it normal to leak so early? i check all
my books and they dont help. so should i
let the daddy pay with them or will it
only make things worse?

It's completely normal. I am 35 weeks and
I am still leaking some. Your actually
milk won't come in until a few days after
you give birth. So no worries on that one.
Then your breasts will begin to make
enough milk to feed your little one. Or so
my books have told me.

I am like 17 weeks an it is happening to
me an I was a lil nervouse cause I had no
clue what was going on an I was a lil
scared but that makes me a lil relieved.
Does it get really bad though. Cause I am
only having like a few little spots in my
bra and it's not alot but will more start
coming out later or does it stay about the
same?

it gets worse for some women
you need to but breat or nursing pads to
put in your bra to keep it form leaking
or else it will start to leak through your
shirt too!

I started leaking at 18 weeks, and I'm 24
weeks now. So far, it hasn't gotten worse
though I anticipate it will as delivery
approaches. It's not enough yet for me to
use breast pads, just a few drops at a
time that is absorbed by my bra. I have
some breast pads on hand just in case in
the meantime.

ok So is it gonna get worse by little or
like just all of a sudden be really bad. I
mean it has kinda stopped but it still
does it time to time but only enough for
my bra to soak it up. I don't know if I
should expect it to just go crazy or if it
gets a lil heavies as times goes on.

It all depends on the individual, really.
There are breast pads in the baby section
of most grocery stores. You can put them
in your bra and it won't leak through.
Kind of like Pads, but for your boobs.
If you plan on breast feeding at all,
these are a very necessary item to have.

don't stress it. My breasts started
leaking with my first child at around 24
weeks, and with this one, at 18 weeks. SO
it's COMPLETELY normal!

It's normal, and nothing to stress about,
actually I felt like having my hubby play
with them was great beacause it takes away
some of the pounding pain and it made it
easier for me to start breast feeding
because I was able to relax those mammory
glands easier.
