I'm wondering if this is colostrum. I read somewhere that colostrum is a yellowish liquid. Can it be a clear liquid as well.
 
Yes :thumbup: Mine has so far been yellow, white & clear :blush:
 
Thanks for the replies. I was confused since the liquid is clear. I guess it will change as the weeks progress.
 
Some get it, some don't. Doesn't mean that there's something wrong or you won't be able to BF :thumbup: I've been getting it.
 
Mine was always clear in pregnancy, however when baby is born turne cream/yellowy...sometimes even orange, lol :thumbup:
 
Mine has been clear... but, and this is embarrassing to admit, I wanted to be sure my breast pump worked last weekend and the clear liquid quickly turned into to orangish/yellowish colostrum. So apparently it starts out clear at each nursing session and then changes after baby has been feeding for a minute or so (because I seriously wasn't testing my breast pump for very long! :haha:)
 
Same here clear since 15 weeks it is starting to go a bit cloudy now though x

Just a word to the wise: Don't use your breast pump again before baby comes! It can start contractions :flower:
 
I got clear liquid from my nipples but it just came out after me and OH had sex :blush:

I'm well aware. But I had to be sure it was working properly before I actually needed it to be. Of course I have no reason to use it again until baby is here. :haha:
