I am 23 weeks pregnant. I woke up this morning with 2 small wet spots on my shirt. Is this normal this early? Thanks!

Yes it is completely normal. Your body is just reacting to you being pregnant and is starting to make colostrum. That is what your baby will drink (if you are going to breastfeed) before your milk actually comes in. It is full of nutrients and antibodies.

You might leak again, you might not. If it continues, you may want to wear nursing pads in your bra if it bothers you.

OH, yeah, I started leaking at about 22 weeks, totally normal. I had to start wearing a bra to bed.

I also leaked a bit- usually at night. You can wear nursing pads in your bra in case your nervous about leaking in public. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
