Taken from www.bith.com.au: Some women will try and express colostrum from their breasts during pregnancy. If you do it is normal to only to get a few drops out at any one time. This can be done by massaging the breast down to the nipple and then compressing the areola, with your fingers at least a couple of centimetres behind the actual nipple. Some parents express concerns that if they leak colostrum they will not have 'enough' for their new baby when he or she is born. This is a myth, because the breasts are capable of constantly replenishing colostrum and breast milk every 3 to 4 hours or so. Your new baby will get all they need! This is why women can still breastfeed other children while they are pregnant, and a few will even 'tandem feed' (that is feeding the older sibling and new baby) after the birth Hope this Helps
THERE IS NO SET TIME FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. EVERYONES BODY DOES THIS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. SOME LEAK AT 7-8 MONTHS SOME DONT LEAK TILL AFTER BIRTH. SORRY CANT PIN IT DOWN FOR YOU.
NOTHING can or should replace Colostrum when feeding a newborn calf. You MUST feed a new baby calf colostrum within 24 hours after it is born. There is nothing man-made or similar than can replace colostrum.
Colostrum is the liquid that comes in just before breast milk. Colostrum is essential to a baby's nutrition. It is not a sign of pregnancy, but rather something that the body produces once the baby has been born.
breast start to create a thick yellowish liquid called colostrum normally around 3 months into your pregnancy. Mine began creating colostrum at exactly 19 weeks. Some women not at all. Its a pre-milk substance preparing for the actual breast milk to come.
Yes, their baby is a girl. Renesmee, their baby, is born in Breaking Dawn.

Yes. However your breasts are leaking Colostrum or pre-milk and not breastmilk. Breastmilk doesn't arrive until a day or two after the baby is born.
Your body starts producing milk (colostrum - the kind of milk a newborn needs) before the baby's birth. It is generally NOT going to leak (and you won't have any letdown) til the baby comes. So just make sure to wear a supportive bra! You can wear the bra inserts (like little pads) which absorb moisture, if your breasts are leaking.

It varies based on your own body, we're all unique, but most of my friends started lactating in their third month of pregnancy. My sister didn't lactate until she was seven or eight months pregnant.
Interesting question...but I don't think it is safe to do so. It is normal to have a little colostrum before the baby is born, but it is not advisable to pump before birth. Also when the baby is born, mothers choose to breast feed and pump to get the most colostrum. During the first 3 or so days, you don't produce much milk. It isn't until the 3-4th day that your milk will come in. It it still important to give your baby colostrum though, it has immune boosting power necessary for the baby.
Some women will begin to make (and leak) colostrum while pregnant. But, the real "milk" usually "comes in" two to five days after the baby is born. Until the milk comes in, the baby is able to get the colostrum which is full of amazing antibodies and nutrients.

Although most women experience some colostrum earlier in their pregnancy, it is also normal to get colostrum later. It just depends on your body. I would not worry unless you have no milk after baby is born. You may even have colostrum now, but it just needs to be expressed. Sometimes, it is hard for the colostrum to let down.
Are you sure its not your mucas plug?
You're probably seeing colostrum which comes in before milk, and that is normal. Milk comes in a few days after the baby is born.
