Is it normal for colostrum to change color wile pregnant it was clear when i first started getting it now it is clear with yellow spots?

Yes. Colostrum is typically a range of colors from clear to yellow to white. The golden spots you are seeing just meant the "ingredients" are different and your colostrum is likely maturing. If you are 4-6 weeks from birth, you're getting the mature colostrum that will provide your baby much needed antibodies, vitamins and nourishment.


How long do you have to feed a lamb colostrum?

Colostrum is vital to give the lamb agood immune system. It is best absorbedin the first 24 hours of the lambslife. After that it is just digested. If thelamb does not get this it will not haveany immediate source of antibodies tofight infection, and scours or other problems.The best source of colostrum is of courseewe's milk direct from mum but that is not alwayspossible. Colostrum milked from anotherfreshly lambed ewe is the next best option. Ifthat is also not possible then fresh cow colostrumfrom a cow just calved will do. If that failsthen colostrum substitutes are available butare expensive and not as effective.Lambs should get at least one day (500ml) ofcolostrum fed in 6 to 8 feeds before milk replaceris started but any you can get into thelamb (even as little as 30ml) will help.Colostrum replacer is available (jumpstart) which can be used if no fresh is available and it is suggested to give a lamb colostrum for the 1st 4 days as this is what it would naturally have with its mother.It also suggests weight of lamb-amount of colostrum ratio . (look up jumpstart on google)


What could cause you to have irregular periods for 2 months and leak colostrum but blood tests are negative?

You might have a tumor in your pituitary gland called prolactinoma. You should have it checked out by a gynecologist or an endocrinologist. Answer yeah its true, I suddenly started having a 14 day cycle, then I started producing breast milk after my doctor tried to put me on the pill to regulate these 14 day perods. i was later diagnosed with a macro prolactinoma by CT scan and discovery of elevated levels of the hormone prolactin in my blood. I was put on mediation now my periods come every 21 days wich is an improvement.


Is it normal to be able to squeeze colostrum from your nipples if you aren't pregnant?

If you have ever been pregnant yes. Some women have colustum or milk for years after. If you have never been pregnant, it doesn't happen that I'm aware of, but it may be a symptom for some women during PMS. If you are unsure, call your doctor and ask them about it.AnswerIt's normal, believe me...I've been able to do it ever since I first started my period...I was afraid it was a sign of breast cancer, so I asked and it's okay. You might want to ask a doc, just to be safe, tho.


What started the zombie apocalypse in The Walking Dead?

I'm not sure if this is correct, but in the beginning, the main character was shot and put in a hospital. He wakes up, and notices some flowers a friend had given him where dead. As he walks out his room, there is barely any light and every single place was covered in stuff, he notices a padlocked door. As he goes closer, the zombies in there notice,and try to break out. As he finds his way out the hospital, every patient in the building had been laid down side by side.

My breast leaked over a year after I had my children.My doctor said it was normal.


You are 31 weeks pregnant and have just started leaking colostrum and blood is leaking from your breast is this normal?

Many women leak colostrum (the first milk) at some time during pregnancy. It can be just a drop or enough that you need breast pads to keep from soaking your clothes. For some women, this starts quite early and for others it doesn't start until just before labor. Some women never experience leaking breasts and this has absolutely no effect on later ability to nurse. If one breast leaks more than the other, that breast may produce a bit more milk, but generally both breasts will produce enough. (Assuming you haven't had surgery and the breasts are not radically different sizes.) Here are more opinions and answers from other FAQ Farmers: * Leaking is normal. I started leaking colostrum when I was 12 weeks pregnant and it started being laced with milk at 30 weeks. I went 40 weeks 5 days. The leaking was so bad then that I'd soak breast pads, but now that he's out and I'm nursing they hardly ever leak anymore, he keeps 'em drained. * It is very normal. I have had 2 children and with both of them I started leaking breast milk around 5 months so there is nothing to worry about. Just stock up on nipple pads, because it sounds like you are going to be a milk factory like I was. * It's normal for me. I leaked a LOT of breast milk during my 8th month with my daughter, enough so that it would spray at times. Now I'm pregnant again, almost 5 years later and the leaking started even earlier, around the 4th month, and now into my 6th month, it sprays. Oh, if I lean on a breast, I soak my clothing, too. It can be inconvenient and embarrassing, but mostly it thrills me to know my baby's growing and on the way. 28 weeks and counting.


When can you visibly see the darkening around the nipples and the appearance of the milk glands during pregnancy?

This usually happens around the last month of pregnancy. Sometimes it doesn't happen (leaking) until right up to the delivery date. But around the last 3-4 weeks is usually around the time you will start leaking and so forth. Actually I started seeing the veins and darkening of nipples around four months and started leaking colostrum "pre-milk" at 5 1/2 months so everyone is different hope this helps, Good Luck and God Bless!!!


When does milk start coming out your breast when your pregnant?

A few days befor the birth of a child the mother produces colostrum. This is thicker and more yellowish than milk. After about 2-3 days the "real" milk comes in. breast milk changes as you nurse longer to meet the changing needs of the baby.
