Question about boob juice

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid or ignorant, but I have a question...

I'm 24 weeks and with my son this didn't happen until like 30 weeks or something, but my left boob has been leaking...lactating. Something. But my question is-WHAT is it? Because I didn't think the milk came in until a few days after the baby is born, and I didn't think colostrum came until around the time of the birth...? So what exactly is it that I'm lactating? Is it like...glorified water to have practice runs? haha IDK. I'm sorry.

It's practice juice. Lol.
I would leak sometimes towards the end. Just your boobs getting ready to do what they will be doing!

Colostrum can come in anywhere between 16 weeks and birth. With my oldest, it came 4 weeks before. With my 2nd, it was around 20 weeks, but I still had some residual milk from my oldest.

It's colostrum. Colostrum comes in usually some time in the second trimester.

My first time leaking with my son was around like 30 weeks or something, and it was during sex. hahaha I was like, "wait...WHY are you WET??" (I was on top) hahaha I was like looking around the ceiling for leaks?? haha finally he started laughing and pointing at my chest. lol
