Is nipple discharge during a pregnancy bad?

Dr. Regina Hampton answered

Specializes in Breast Surgery

Depends on color: Nipple discharge is common in women. Clear, yellow, milky and greenish color discharge usually are benign. It is common to have a white or milky discharge during pregnancy, especially toward the end as the breast prepares for lactation. Contact your ob/gyn and have them take a look.
