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!
it is one of those freaky pregnancy things that nobody tells you, but it is 100% normal :P
ooooooh OK. I didn't know it came in that early =] thank youu
Quoting tyrelsmom:
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

The first time with DD my mom and her DH were coming over to help me put together the crib, my mom took me in th eother room and let me know I had 2 huge wet spots on my shirt!
