Well maybe not a big problem but check out what I had to buy at the store today...
You may be thinking, Oh how great and prepared am I to get these prior to breast feeding... no. Since last week my nippies have began to leak. I thought last week when it happened it was maybe a one time occurrence but it has continued to the point where I had to make this pad purchase! Now it's not a TON but it is enough that I'm staining the inside of my bras, and waking up with my sleep tank tops stained. It appears to be a thin, yellowish drainage. Colostrum maybe? Has anyone else had this happen to them... esp 14 weeks before baby is suppose to get here? I googled it, and it seems more common than I thought, but how come no one told me about this!! Hmm ... maybe this is a sign that I won't have any problems with my milk coming in, and breastfeeding will come easy??
Well I hope you have better luck with those pads than I ever did. I suggest you get maybe silicone ones? The disposable ones really really irritated my nipples (after you have something sucking desperately at them) with the cheap disposable "fabric".
ReplyDeleteI do not have sensitive skin, so I never needed special pads or that nipple cream. I always heard that if nursing is painful, then maybe the baby wasn't latched on correctly... Anyway, I think its a little funny that you're leaking already :) That's not an issue I've ever experienced, but hopefully it does mean that breast feeding will come easily to you!
ReplyDeleteIt happened to me, but about 6 weeks before birth. I would take it as a good sign, that you are a good milk maker!
ReplyDeleteIt happened to me around the same time and it just got worse! I started contracting at around 32 weeks so after that point if I contracted really hard I'd leak a bunch too.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! Well, at least it seems like a good sign!
