I am planning my pregnancy and honestly didn't know this could happen before delivery! Good to know so I won't freak out when the time comes.

That first yellow milk is colostrum and it's very normal to leak a bit in the third trimester. Just gently wipe it with a warm cloth, don't squeeze it.

With my twins, I started leaking slightly around the 6th month itself! I was so shocked, but my doctor laughed and said my body was just preparing double time.

I am in my 5th month and haven't seen anything yet. Is it normal to not have any discharge, or does it start later for most of you?

I asked the lactation experts at my hospital about this during my regular checkup. They told me leakage is completely normal in the late 2nd or 3rd trimester and we can easily use nursing pads.

Khushi Setty · Answer

It can start anytime in the second or third trimester, or sometimes only after delivery. Both are normal, so don't stress if you don't leak early.

Honestly, pregnancy throws so many surprises at you. Some women get yellow leaks from the 5th month, while others get it only post-delivery. Don't stress, your body is doing its job.

I noticed a few drops in my 8th month and got scared. My saas told me it's totally normal colostrum and nothing to worry about, just wear breast pads.
