It's normal. Your body is getting the milk factory ready for after the birth. Some mothers leak colostrum during pregnancy and some never leak a drop. Either is normal and either mom can breastfeed successfully post-partum.
Too much stimulation of your nipples can cause you to have contractions....but I'm talking at least 20 minutes of continual stimulation!
Get some nursing pads to wear in your bra to protect your clothing in case you leak.

that is very normal. that is what they call colostrum. It's what comes out for the newborn and it is healthier than the milk itself. It's full vitamins. (the good stuff) I found out I was pregnant at two weeks seeing that stuff. Totally freaked me out. I thought I was discharging from my nipples. lol I wish you luck and I hope your baby is a very cheeful and healthy baby. Oh, by the way try not to squeeze your nipples. Let it be. It will cause you to lactate more.

Yep it sounds about right...this is normal. It's funny as it freaked me out the first time I saw it too. It's the same stuff, colustrum, that will feed your baby in the first couple days of them being born, just before your milk comes in...all totally natural!

That is what the lactating consultant would classify as milk!!!!! Congratulations! Most women aren't lucky enough to have milk especially this soon before delivery. Consider yourself lucky and keep up the good work!

It's normal!
It's just your body preparing colosrum for your baby. I got it at just turned 20 weeks. But, yeah, stop messing with them!

That's normal, your milk is starting to come a bit early. Don't try to squeeze, you could damage your breasts.

Yes, it's normal, and yes, stop messing with them. They're doing what they need to and they don't need any help. :-)
