Nipples

[tinkerbell*]

Oh no, i have got leaky nipples!!!!
only tiny tiny bit, if i give them a little sqweeze, and its not all the time, its like this clear fluid that feels slighty sticky!!!! omg its totally fresking me out!!! im not used to me body doing these kind of things! (im presuming that this is normal)????
OH keeps twiddeling and tweeking when we're in bed, lol now im really Reeeeeeally worried i'll wake up in the morning, and my boobs will have soaked the bed! hehehehe Oooo yuk!

I've had this for a few weeks now. The gross thing is that the drop of liquid seems to dry on my nipples and forms a sort of crusty plug that stops any more coming out

It's only when I clear the dry stuff away I start to get more come out or if I squeeze them.

Mine seem to dry into a crusty plug too I've never seen them leak though or been able to squeeze any out, I think mine is more like a tiny bit of discharge which dries every couple of days.

I keep thinking it could be worse, I could be needing breast pads to avoid leak stains on my tops

If I'm lying on my side and my boobs get squashed white gunk comes out of mine. Not enough to soak through yet. Been getting this for weeks.

This started happening to me recently too. It is weird....especially as the stuff that comes out of my right nipple is, um, yellow.....I hope that's normal! I get clear stuff too, but only if I squeeze does anything come out. My boobs are to sore for OH to twiddle with them too much so it doesn't really bother me!

Mine leaked a bit too when I was pregnant, one morning OH and I were lying in bed and I piped up- erghhhh whats that wet patch, we were both baffled until I realised it was my leaky boobs.

Count yourselves lucky- mine now literally squirt when LO is feeding, it keeps getting in his eyes poor thing

I was about to post about this but I have the opposite problem. Mine are completely dry,
no leaks or anything, they don't even feel full
When I have my c-section next week, will my milk come in?? as I won't
naturally go into labour, so how will my body know to send the milk?
None of this has reallt been explained to me.
Is it possible to not even produce any milk? or is that a stupid question?

Mine have been a bit crusty at the end of the day -yuk! When I clear them teh clear liquid leaks ourt, but only a tiny bit. My husband thought it'd be funny to squueze one of my boobs and try and milk me!!

I never leak either unless I give them a big squeeze and even then I have to inspect really closely to see what's come out! haha!!

Yeah I've been reading up on this (because I thought I was a bit wierd how I hadn't leaked!!) your milk will come in when baby starts feeding on the colostrum (which is in there somewhere!!) They just have to have a good old suck to get it out, then the milk comes in about 3-4 days later.

I think some women's milk is less than others. Some don't produce as much, others produce loads. I think it's just *made* as much as baby takes. So if you don't BF, the milk will dry up because it's not being used. If you have a greedy baby, your body should produce more than someone who has a less greedy baby iykwim?!

Midna's made a few points in her thread here in 3rd tri. Just read it and it's really useful! I was a bit naiive.

But anyway, just because we're not leaking, doesn't mean we can't breastfeed! xx
