Im 27 +4 weeks pregnant with a little girl (Sofia) and I just wanted some sort of confirmation that this IS normal…..

A few days ago, late evening I noticed a sorta, CLEAR and sticky substance leaking from my left breast…..im guessing it IS normal???? I don’t remember getting anything leaking from my boobs this early on in pregnancy last time around…and sadly I cant seem to remember what it was like….is it anything to worry about??? Should I worry as its only come from one boob so far??

Thanks ↓

it is perfectly normal. it is the stuff you baby will eat for the first day or two.you will get your real milk after it is gone. colostrum is full of anti bodies and stuff that you need to give the baby. i leaked from 12 weeks on with my second baby and with the first i leaked from 27 on. every baby is different and your hormone levels have alot to do with the milk leakage ↑

Yeah i agree with cheri, it sound like colostrum. Your body is just getting ready. Although if you are worried mention it at your next antenatal appointment. ↑
