Leaking Colostrum at Night

I am 20 weeks today!! Is it normal to leak A LOT of colostrum at night? It doesn’t happen during the day, only at night. I wake up to my shirt and sheets SOAKED. I can’t even squeeze any out during the day to even see it. It’s so weird because it only leaks when I’m asleep. Please tell me it’s normal!!🩵

I’ve been experiencing a very similar situation. I’m 20 weeks and 3 days. I’ve been told it’s normal but I got a doctors appointment on Thursday! I can ask for us if you like mamas!

@Jada Yes pls! My doctor’s appt isn’t until next Monday!

I've been sweating enough to soak the sheets but haven't leaked colostrum yet

I’ve been leaking but not a lot just like a spot on my blouse is that water milk ? I thought colostrum was thick and sticky?

@Shamir I think colostrum is what comes first before your breast milk. I’ve never heard of water milk.

Hey Ella, my doctor told me it’s typically doesn’t happen this early on, but it doesn’t mean it’s not normal. It means our hormones are rising in our bodies. Our prolactin levels are higher as well as our estrogen and progesterone. My mom experienced the same thing around 20 weeks. If you’re in a situation where you have your bio mom in your life you can ask her if she started early as well! Could just be a genetic hormonal thing!

I think you leak more colostrum than me but I leak all day and night! Try to get nursing pads(my obgyn suggested) and still talk to your doctor!
