im 27 wks 2moro and i leak colostrum everyday and it is always that brownish color, but last night i took a bath (had horrible back pain) and i was leaking pure white stuff. i thought it was only white after delivery, why do u think this happened? is it actual milk? is this a bad thing?

Baby3OnWay - 82 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) No its ok... when you are in warm water they tend to release more... its not milk just more of the clostrum. There's the yellow really sweet stuff then it gets whiter or lighter in colour and then eventaully the hind milk, which is what comes after a few days of delivery and thats the more fatty milk! Not to worry... probably felt a bit of releif though with that, did you?

It is not milk coming it takes a lot more for the milk to come. I have clear sometime, white and yellow it is ok. But don't try to milk yourself because it will bring on labor.

vikki - 83 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It's probably colostrum. It can vary in colour. I would encourage it by expressing when in the bath or shower. It will help the flow once baby comes.

MelissaJoanne - 83 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Colostrum can either be a clear liquid, milky white, or the deep golden colour you're more used to. It's still colostrum, not milk. Don't worry that it will be bad for you or baby. You'll still have plenty for the baby.
