My second child I had milk coming half way through pregnancy.
I was worried that I would flood everything I leaned into or bumped into.
The best thing,,,I didnt worry when it came to nursing him. The milk was available and plentiful.

Check with yur doctor for medical answers, but dont always go to the negative first. There are mothers out there that their milk didnt come in.

I say it's completely normal. I leaked the 1st pregnancy around 25 weeks, but my doctor said as long as it's not an excessive amount it's just fine. Your body is just getting ready to feed that little bundle :)

It's a little early maybe, but totally normal! It kinda freaked me out when it happened too!

It is not abnormal, and is probably fine. Do let your doctor know about it though, if you are still worried. Can't hurt, right?
Good luck

I'm currently pregnant with my second, and my breasts started leaking periodically at seven weeks. It just means they're really excited to do their job--perfectly normal.

this is actually pretty normal for some women... With my first, this started at about 30 weeks, but with my second it started WAY earlier. Relax, this is a sign that you will be a good milk producer! :) (Enjoy your pregnancy!)

It's normal. It's called colostrum. It's the early breast milk that your body makes before your milk comes in after the baby is born. The same thing happened to me pretty early in pregnancy. It might come & go but there's nothing to worry about. Mine would actually drip if I was grocery shopping & then walked into the freezer section! Good thing I wear padded bras!
