No, breasts leak in the latter part of pregnancy.
No, not every woman leaks colostrum during pregnancy. Some women do, some do not. It is different with each pregnancy as well. A woman might leak during her first pregnancy and not her second or she might leak during every pregnancy or never during any pregnancy. Either way is NORMAL.
If you are in the last trimester in your pregnancy and still having your menstrual cycle, then yes. Otherwise, that is not normal & you should go see a doctor.
Yes there are chances of milk leaking when the breasts are fondled.
Every woman and every pregnancy is different. Some women may leak as early as 4 weeks of pregnancy while others may not leak until after birth. If you have concerns you should speak with your dr.
Maybe
Not always. Colostrum can leak from your breasts at any time. Pregnancy or not. Hormone changing can make you leak a little big of colostrum. Some women will leak more then others, especially if they've already had children.
The fluids can leak slowly or gush. If you are leaking fluids you should call your OB immediately.
It's normal to leak off-center since your nipples actually have several milk ducts instead of just a centered one.
Yes, there is a clear sometimes whitish fluid that may leak out during the 2nd-3rd trimesters of your pregnancy. There are a few reasons to why this is happening. Your hormones are preparing for breast lactation, Milk ducts grow & Montgomery glads show causing your breast to leak during pregnancy. With the onset of your first pregnancy, your breasts get lots of orders & the placenta stimulates your body to produce hormones (estrogen and progesterone) that prepare your breasts for lactation. No need to worry.
No. One of the most common reasons that breasts leak is because the woman just had a baby. If the breasts are not expressed regularly while a woman is lactating, they will get sore and they will leak. If the breasts leak at any other time, it could be a medical symptom.
Its either a sign of pregnancy or a milk duct infection. You don't usually leak milk until late in pregnancy (if at all) so this may be a sign of a hormone imbalance unrelated to pregnancy. See a doctor.
