Lactation (same As Pregnancy Forum) Posted: 10-19-06 13:22pm
When did everyone start lactating? Last
night I was changing shirts and my arm
kinda rubbed over my nipple and it was
sticky. Just the smallest bit of
something clear and sticky was coming out.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Yeah it started around 16ish weeks for
me... And dont worry it gets worse....
Like 2 days ago, I leaked right threw my
padded bra, threw shawns shirt I was
wearing, thank god I had a hoody on too or
that would have been embarrising... That
reallly made me decide to start using boob
pads lol...
It's completely different for everyone..
I'm 33 weeks and so far i've only had the
tiniest bit of liquid leak out of one of
my boobs, and I wouldn't have noticed
except it left a little white mark on my
black bra. Your leaking may get worse,
but it might not, it's nothing to worry
about either way.

Yeah it is different for everyone... I
have had leakage for some time now .. I
think I was 15 weeks when I first noticed
it.. It has gotten worse for me.. Mostly
at night.. I tend to leak alot onto my
nightshirts and when I wake up they are
attached to my nipples.. It feels kinda
wierd.. But its normal so I don't worry
about it!

This isn't technically lacatation, since
your breasts aren't making 'milk' yet.
They are just practicing. What will come
out the first few days is colostrum. It
is full of antibodies and good fats for
the baby.
It will take a few days of nursing before
you start to lactate and your milk comes
in.
