what color was it?? if it was kind-of cloudy, or clear, or even almost a white, it could just be colostrum.. Have you had children before?? if so, that could be a cause of it.

if no kids, well, i leaked colostrum while pregnant- and i've known women who did from the beginning, too. so, it's not too strange, really.

if you do go to your doc, just be sure to let her/him know about it- (they'll do a breast exam, that first visit, anyway, so they'll see it for themselves anyway)

dont worry about it, hon- it's rare, but it happens, and is normal.

I never got "milk" this early in any of my pregnancies...but, a while back, I used to have problems every month. I had pregnancy symptoms before AF every month, pretty much all of them. And in the midst of it all, one month I got some "milk" it was really weird. I never got it until like 7-8 months in my pregnancies, yet that one time I got during some pms....out bodys are strange.

i was reading jsut yesterday about hving milk nad not pregnant sometimes but it is rare that a womens body makes a hormone called prolaktate or somthing like that it is the hormone that cause you to produce milk while breastfeeding and if your body for some reason startes producing that hormone it makes itself think that you are breastfeeding and causes you to produce milk and sometimes to stop menstation i'll try to find the article and post it!!

If I am pregnant, this would be my first. I have been having all of the classic signs. Today I noticed my nipples were getting even darker, and pinker in the center. So, when I checked them out closer, they were also slightly cracking, and porous. (Am I pregnant ?) Anyways, I must have accidentally squeezed too hard, because a clear-white liquid came out of my nipple. So, since it would be my first pregnancy, does this mean that I am probably pregnant?

Also, it is such a relief to know that is normal. Thank you!!

chickey~

well, hon, my nipples darkened in color, and had little bumps raise up in the areola(dark

part around the stand-up part)~ they're called Montgomery Tuberibles. also, my nipples DID have a bit of a cracked look to them, like the skin was a little dry, but they did not hurt in that way- just sensitive. and the milk ducts were more visible (the holes)~

it's quite likely you're pregnant, from the sound of it, but it's also possibly from other sources, like hormones leading to your period- you may just be noticing them for the first time this month~

(the symptoms i listed for myself up there were for my 1st pregnancy as well, it's just hard to remember when exactly it all happened~)

how late are you? have you tested yet?

I honestly do not feel these are PMS symtoms. Before I get my period, I normally have just gotten kinda sick, and I have a short fuse. What I am going through now is completely different from anything else I have ever been through. This is why I believe I am pregnant. I've never had anything like this, and every day brings something new. I'm not late yet... I"m expecting my period on Sunday, so Im going to wait until Monday to test again. =)
