Name: Frank Title: When does a Pregnant Women First Lactate?

I need some advice. My girlfiend is pregnant and tells me that I am the father. In order to prove this she squeezed some milk out of her brest. The issue for me is that I first had sex with her eight weeks earlier from that date and I have been reading that a women can not lactate until the second trimester. Ladies help me out here.............. can a women lactate within eight weeks of pregnancy? I am desperate for an answer!  ?

You don't usually lactate until the very end of pregnancy sometimes not even until after you deliever. I don't know what to tell you but I have never heard of that unless she was breast feeding a previous child and never dried up????  =

I am nine months pregnant and don't even have milk yet, the dr says that the baby brings the milk in after a couple of days of suckling.  =

It is my understanding that you start to produce colostrum about 5 months into your pregnancy and the milk actually doesn't come in until about 1 1/2 to 2 days after delivery. That's how it was with my first one atleast.  =

i am five months along, and every now and again when i wake up I will have "leaked" out colostrum....only out of my right nipple...i can't sqeezed any excess out, it's just a freak thing that happens....but keep in mind every woman has a differant body. ask her to go to the Doc. for a pregnancy test, and ask when the beginning of her last menstral cycle was and how long it usual last...you can plug it into a ovulation, or due date caculator on line.  =

ASK FOR A PREGNANCY TEST AND GO WITH HER TO CONFIRM THE AGE OF THE FETUS VIA SONOGRAMS, LAST MENSTRAL PERIOD ETC. AND IF ALL ELSE FAILS REQUEST A DNA TEST AFTER THE BIRTH. I AM 7 MONTHS AND ONLY HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF LEAKING  =

I had clear fluid coming out in my first few weeks but its now a whitish colour its more like sticky fluid so maybe you should wait for the scan which will tell you how far along she is if she doesn't want you to go then you should worry  =

I'm 27 weeks now but when I was in my third month I lactated and still do. I can't put pressure on my breasts or it will come out without warning. Everyone is different so it all depends on your body and what it wants to do. I'm going to breast feed and I'm hoping our baby girl will take to it.  =

Frank,
Normally she wouldn't be lactating, but if she has any pituatary issues or small tumors that can signal the body to lactate earlier and even without a pregnancy.  =

Name: Heather • Date: 12/29/2005 16:17:57

I think she is more pregnant than she says she is and wants to pin this baby on you because with my first pregnancy I didn't have the colostrum (yellow liquid)come out until after his birth and this is my 2nd pregnancy and I am 19 wks pregnant and just started leaking the colostrum at 17 weeks.  =

Now Renee,
I would not say no way.
Not by my experience.

Yes Frank, a woman can lactate in the first trimester. It is not necessarily common, but it is possible.

However the question of Frank's girlfriend isn't so much as is she pregnant or not, for in time that will prove to be true or untrue (and looking at the date of his post, I say it's probably evident by this time). The question is, is he the father.

Bottom line Frank, if you have reason to doubt, then request a DNA test.

But chances are real good, based on the date of his posting, Frank isn't coming back to this forum, lol.  =

Dont listen to these females on here telling you that the baby isnt yours because she shouldnt be having liquid coming out her nipples. In fact that's how my sister found out she was pregnant , she had a white/ yellowish liquid coming from her nipples at like 3-4 wks and took a pregnancy test that said no , but when she went to the doctor she showed them and they did another test that said yes. So congrats on the baby , and goodluck.  =

Hey everyone. I have been trying to breastfeed for the longest time and it has been so frustrating. To top it all off, my nipples are really sore and I am so tired! However, I found lots of great health advice from a fabulous website - check it out: www.womens-health.co.uk  =

Name: Aniesha • Date: 02/06/2006 17:12:27

Ok, I have a question and this is a different topic. I had a tubal ligation just about 2 years ago and about a week ago I squeezed my nipples ( don't ask why, cuz I don't know why ) and white clear stuff came from both. Ne-way I was thinking today that I had my period like normal on the 1'st or second of December and I had one for like 2 days very late at the end of December on the 29th. This isn't normal for me. Today is February 6th and I haven't had my period since then. Is this normal.... I mean I should take a pregnancy test just in case, but am scare. Going thru a divorce and have been with someone for two months, but of course with my luck I probly would be that 1 %. Does anyone have any insight?  =

Name: Angie • Date: 02/06/2006 18:18:11

Aniesha - Take a pregnancy test. If it is positive, there is a strong chance of it being an etopic pregnancy (tubal). Most pregnancies after having tubes tied end up being etopic. If you get a positive, make an appointment with your OB right away. If you experience extreme pain, seek medical attention right away. I don't say this to scare you, only for you to be aware. There could be a possibilty that you are just having abnormal periods because you are under a lot of stress. Divorce = TONS of STRESS! Good luck, and let us know how you are doing!  =

Name: Michelle • Date: 02/06/2006 18:20:25

Hey, not sure if this will help or not, but I have had 2 children before being pregnant with this one. I had my last child 7 yrs ago and have since had breast implants, but as soon as I got pregnant this time, I started leaking clear, yellowish and white fluid, which I believe is lactating, so honestly, I believe it just has to do with the individual. Good luck. I hope you find your answers, but if she says it's yours,atleast give her the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.  =

Name: Chrystal • Date: 02/21/2006 17:01:34

I never lactated ..or maybe I never noticed this with my other 2 pregnancies but I am now just 27 weeks pregnant and I see SOME colostrum..not milk but this clear whitish leaking AT TIMES..usually after or during sex (nipple stimulation) if I can be so open here. I've had 2 girls, then 2 miscarriages over last 2 years and now this is my 5 th pregnancy, 3rd child. If you're worried about paternity, the ONLY way is through DNA testing- good luck. :)  =

As far as I know, a woman does not start lactating until just before (in some women) or a few says after chlid birth. I do have a question that I'm hoping someone could answer though. I am a very young girl...17 to be exact and somebody told me that they think I've got a few symptoms of being pregnant...now, I've never been pregnant before so I wouldnt know, but is excessive peeing a sign of pregnancy? What about if your urine has no color to it? I have also been feeling very nausiated lately...can comeone please give me some answers?  =

Name: alveena • Date: 02/25/2006 02:26:08

I was able to squeeze milk out of my breast when i was about 6 weeks. We are born with milk in our breasts...it usually takes pregnancy to make it into a liquid.
If you want more evidence that shes pregnant, I would go to the doctors with her. The doctor can tell you within minutes if shes pregnant.

Good luck!  =

I just had a miscarriage after 12 weeks of pregnancy and at first beads of milk (or so it seemed) would come out when i applied pressure to my nipples. After that it turned into a sticky, clear liquid. I'm not sure if I was lactating but it is possible to have something resembling milk come out of there within your first trimester.  =

Hey Frank!
How you doing?
According to the date of your post, your girlfriend is 8 months along now, due in one more month. Have you FIGURED OUT IF SHE IS PREGNANT YET??!

Or are you still wondering and NEED US TO TELL YOU.

I am sure there are a ton of women on this board who will still respond to you, heck 3 months from now. She'll have had the baby then, and we will still be giving you our very educated opinion about whether or not she is pregnant.

I know all of us here on this board are really interested in finding out, because we keep posting on this thread even though you HAVE NEVER COME BACK TO READ WHAT WE HAVE RESPONDED.

But that's o.k. cuz we're all JUST IDIOTS!  =

hey dude,
i don't want to upset your girl or anything but, I am eight weeks pregnant with my third child and i havent started producing milk yet. Women tend to produce something colustrum when they are about 3-4 months pregnant. Even then it is not milk yet it is a sticky yellow substance. I can safely say that if she is literally squirting milk out of her breast then she if far more pregnant then 2 months........she's got to be at least 5-6 at least. Well, i hope this helps. by the way when she tries to argue you can tell her that i am a nurse also if that helps.  =

OK well anything is possible so please don't say it isn't possible!! All womens bodies are different and what is given as the usual date of lactation is an AVERAGE ie: how most peoples bodies behave. Some may start ealier other may not start at all!!

Name: beanpod • Date: 05/16/2006 20:23:27

as far as I know, it is really rare for a woman to lactate that early.

Also go to the ultrasound that is the best way to tell. Also she might have multiple ultrasound's if she is further along than she say's.  =

Hi! I guess you could say every pregnant womans body is different. I am 18 weeks pregnant now but i started lactating when i was only 7 weeks pregnant! But that could be because i already have another child and breastfed with her! And there has recently been proof that if a woman puts the belief in her head that she is pregnant being that she lones for a child so bad she believes she is pregnant she will if fact lactate. But if you are worried that you are not the father of this child you need to have everything confirmed with the doctor. i.e.: The age of the fetus for starters because many first time moms do not lactate until the last trimester and even then until after the birth of the baby. So have everything checked out  =

Is it lactation or just liquid?
I am 17 weeks pregnant, and I have been having liquid come out of my nipples before I had even missed my period. However it's not really breast milk at this stage. When mine started I didn't even know I was pregnant and so my doctor had me do all these tests to see if I had a tumor in my brain causing my body to produce prolactin. Your best bet to finding out what is going on is for both of you to go to a doctor together and if she is indeed pregnant, sit in the room while she has an ultrasound and see how far along the doctors say she is. Good Luck.  =

No, that's not a sign! It's normal to produce this before you deliver - some women produce it earlier than others that's all.  =

hi im new at this sort of thing i was wondering if someone could help me. i started birth control and was on it for some months like i believe 4 months and i suddenly got a three month period and i went to my doctor and he told me to get off of birth control which i did. well i had my last period in october and i took a pregnancy test in november and it said no. i took one in december and it said no. i took one in jan and it said no. i took one this month and it said yes. is it just bc my horomones are all messed up due to me going on and off birth control? please email me pineappledrums@yahoo.com thanks  =

That I know of (a mother of three) no....it does not happen that soon. Usually the earliest times a woman starts to lactate is about 20 weeks (5months)...I could be wrong, but I asked my OBGYN just to make sure!  =

# Leaking colostrum: The early, super-charged, immunity-rich milk your baby will drink right after birth—colostrum— starts forming in your breasts early in pregnancy. Not all women leak, and leaking is no indication of your ability to produce milk. Some women think they have an infection when they see leaking or crusting of the milk on the nipple. Not to worry! Gently wash your nipple with a washcloth. In cases where there is significant leaking, you can wear a nursing pad to absorb moisture.
