Breast milk ?
Hey I know this is tmi but I’m really confused about it. Is it normal to get damp nipples ? Is that breastmilk or something else? I don’t leak or gush or anything like that ,every now and then my nipples just get really hard and get damp. Is that normal ?
Ps. Im 23 weeks pregnant

Normal! It’s colostrum. Just get some reusable breast pads and you’ll be fine.

Yes- I think it is somehow normal. Make sure to message or talk to your doc but it happened to me at the end of the pregnancy. My doctor said it was normal and it’s all the hormonal changes. 😉

I started leaking with my first at 24 weeks. I’m 30 weeks with my second and starting to leak. It happens to some women. Not all. It is usually just some colostrum beginning to leak. My nips are usually damp. But it drips and wets my shirt
Think about or look into collecting it if its a lot. colostrum harvesting is so beneficial for baby after they are born when your milk doesnt come in fast enough i do recommend only hand expressing or pumping after 36 weeks .
