Colostrum Leakage in Early Pregnancy: What to Expect

Yes, it is common to have a sticky milky substance, known as colostrum, from your breasts during the early months of pregnancy. This substance is produced by the mammary glands in preparation for breastfeeding after childbirth. Colostrum is typically thick, yellowish, and sticky, and it may leak from the breasts intermittently or continuously. The presence of colostrum during pregnancy is a normal sign that your body is preparing for lactation.
