So if you're a guy or get easily grossed out then you'll probably want to skip reading this post... Remember I'm also using this as my "pregnancy journal" so some of it might be a little personal but things that I will want to remember down the road when I have another :) Just so you know though, you have been warned ;)
Well today, July 27th, I am 25 weeks and 2 days along with only 106 more days to go and just 3 weeks shy of my 3rd trimester. I had been told that things like lactating doesn't normally happen until your 3rd trimester or even not until after the baby is born! So I thought I didn't have to worry about that for a while, well I was wrong =/ Today I woke up from my nap only to have a creamy, yellowish fluid leaking down the side of my breast! Then I notice there was a wet spot on our sheets where I was laying on my side =/ How uncomfortable and embarrassing is that?!? So after I cleaned myself off and threw our sheets in the wash I immediately went online to research ;) Well as luck would have it apparently it's more common than I thought and some women claimed to of started lactating at the beginning of their 2nd trimestre! Sheesh how horrible! And here I was enjoying pregnancy and then this comes along ;) Well I guess I'll be needing those breast pads sooner than I thought ;) Good news is I also read that it's viewed as a good thing meaning that I should have no trouble whatsoever breastfeeding! Again just one of those things you worry about for your first, you never know until you try! But I can't help but be uncomfortable and grossed out at the thought =/ One of the many un-fun things women endure that men are lucky they will never have to experience ;)
