Leaking Breasts Mid-Pregnancy
Normal! Colostrum Production Begins Mid Pregnancy. Many mom's, checking around, are surprised to find the sticky yellow stuff called colostrum to be easily expressed from gentlly massaging the breast or nipple. It's ok if you cann't produce any, and the amount is litterally a drop or two even for women who do produce some, so do not worry if you see it. Normal! No reason to rush mid-pregnancy to your gyno for an extra breast exam. Now if you feel a lump, it could be milk, but it might be more serious, so do get that checked!
