Yes this is normal if this is not your 1st baby its very normal my boobs started leaking a little bit from week 18 of my current pregnancy this will be my 2nd child it can start as early as 4 weeks if it isn't your first baby!!
I am now currently 25 weeks and it only happens now and again

Are they any thing you can do to help them start hurting

[buggage]

Your breasts are gearing up for the impending birth of baby, its perfectly normal for them to start leaking on occasion(especially if you get sexually excited, or hear a baby crying, hah) They are constantly growing and filling out, so the ache throughout pregnancy and in the beginning weeks/months of breastfeeding is normal. While pregnant, wearing a snug fitting bra can help with the discomfort, if it gets really bad, and occasional tylenol(with lots of water) may help. However, if it's that painful, you might want to talk to your doctor about it. Unfortunately its one of those things that you basically just have to grit your teeth and wait it out.

I agree with the other posters, although you can insert a breast pad into your bra so your shirt doesn't get wet from this. The pain comes and goes. This is totally normal! Congrats on your pregnancy!

You are actually leaking colostrum, not milk. This is what precedes the milk and is the healthiest for baby when breastfeeding.

This is quite normal. As mentioned above, a tight fitting bra will help, some tylenol (yes, you can take that now), warm soaks, etc.

Thank you and I am not sure what it is I just know that it is a lot

As I said, it's called colostrum. It's the precursor to milk, which comes in anywhere from 3 - 5 days after the beginning of breastfeeding.

It's very normal, extremely natural, and healthy unless there is discoloration or odor.
