Milk Supply?

ANGWife · #1 March 13th, 2009, 02:30 AM

After my shower, I noticed this crumbly yellow stuff on one of my nipples. So I take a closer look and it's actually coming from inside.

Could this be the beginning of my milk supply? I didn't think this happened this early (I'm almost 33 weeks). I hope this isn't another sign that I will deliver early.

It sounds like it's just a little bit of colostrum, nothing to be worried about. I started noticing it with both of my pregnancies around 28 weeks and I delivered at full term.

Dude I feel like a freak now, I had it for a couple weeks now! I think about 16 weeks it started for me. Its NOT a sign of impending labor so your fine there. Its just your boobs getting ready. I just figured mine the need to get ready early since they get so much "attention" that the stimulation of them causes it to happen.

(that was my subtle way of say DH is a boob man :LOL

YEy it's colostrum! I leaked whilst preggy too, very common.

oh and... I was 5 days late so dont worry about it being a sign of labour - nopers!

Totally normal.. I started leaking with both of my pregnancies around 20 weeks and Taylor was overdue and Rylie's fast headed that way

Like Angela, I also started leaking very early, like around 15 weeks! And I didn't even go into labor on my own, so who knows how late Ben would have really been?!
