Leaky breast?

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and tonight I noticed one of my breasts leaking clear fluid. Anyone know why it's clear? Also, should I be worried I'm only leaking from one breast and not both?

Same thing happened to me two days ago. My mom said not to worry. I did go pick up some nursing pads but haven't used them bc it hasn't happened again.

Pretty sure that's colostrum. But I wouldn't be worried about that, or that it was only one side. Some women don't leak at all pre-baby :)

No need to worry. Its just colostrum first milk. I don't have it yet, but I did get it towards the end of my last pregnancy. I rembered having it leak more on one breast than the other. My nurse midwife at the time even tried stimulating my nipples to show me that it was normal to leak. Which I found odd at the time. lol.

lol my doctor did the same thing, she told me I'd be good for nursing cause of how easy everything comes out and the shape of my nipples (sorry if that's tmi lol)

Yup, that's what it is. Mine haven't been leaking on their own but if I squeeze my nipples, drops come out. They've been doing this for the last month. I squeeze them a few times a day just so that it doesn't build up and leak on their own. My right nipple has had more colostrum than my left for the last few days.

Mine have been doing that since 20 weeks.  Nothing to worry about and a good sign that you'll be able to nurse.  At least the plumbing is hooked up properly...

Mine have been doing that on and off since 23 weeks.  Sometimes it's clear and sometimes it's thick and yellowish.  i've been wearing nursing pads when i go out for any length of time since it soaked through my shirt one day at a work function. Luckily it was only one side, so it looked like i had just slopped something on my shirt.

I started leaking around 24 weeks. It is sometimes just one or both. I keep nursing pads with me at all times just in case but have found it only happens at night

I started leaking colostrum two weeks ago. It's not to the point where I need pads but I am going to pick some up just in case. I'm just happy the plumbing seems to be working!

I leaked mainly from the left side for about one day two weeks ago. Not really anything since then. I can't even make it happen. Not sure why it chose that day to leak. Weird.
